I really like that colour. You've done well under that bonnet... all the nooks and crannies makes them a nightmare to cover without runs or waves.

Cheers,

Couldn't fit the original spring on the bonnet hinges so I lashed out and got some up to date gas strut hinges.

Gives me heaps more clearance for a bigger booster if the need should arise.

I had to relieve the water channel to fit them but that's ok I needed to touch up the paint in this area anyway.

Very interesting. They look well put together. They would be lighter than originals by the look.

Looking the goods Greg, under the bonnet is a tricky are, it came up a treat.
those hinges look interesting

Started some rubbing back and buffing, got a couple of spots you can hardly see that I will leave until I see how the rest of the car turns out. Its addictive and I have become obsessed to have everything perfect !!
GRRRRRRR ! Just a driver !!!!!

Needs a fine polish to get the swirls out, more time to spend later on.

Two guards and 3 doors to go !!!!!!

I know what you mean Greg I had only intended to fix some rust, put the Ute together and drive it now I try to do everything to the utmost best I can
I think we are all the same just look at clay "I'm just going to give it a clean up and drive it"

The paint job looks real nice Greg.
I guess it’s one of those things we do where only you know there’s a “blemish” and no one else notices - but it still bugs the crap out of you.
Thanks for the paint tips along the way too, it’s something I want to have a crack at eventually.

Cheers, John

Bit more done in the last few days,

Painted some small bits and trialed fit the guard one more time before paint. Did the lip modification as well although I still have plenty of height.

Got the gasser look going although there is still lots to go back on. The back might need raising as I can't go much lower without rubbing something, we will see.
Starting to finally get some results, Car drives and is finished mechanically, been tempted to give it a power run but no I will resist Ha Ha Ha !!!!
It's also a great idea to fit an exciter/idiot light for your alternator otherwise it won't work !!!! Got a temporary light wired up and bingo I have charging Volts. I've ordered an electronic box and LED and will hide that somewhere so no holes go in the dash.
