Hmmmm....... sounds familiar. Here’s what I wrote on here when I picked mine up last January
“Picked up an FB today, ......,,. It’s unlicensed but, hopefully, not too far off from getting rego”

It could be worse... my wagon project owes me more than a decade .

All too true but we are all on slightly different paths. Anyway the front is now complete.

Back under the bodyfound some more rust Not surprising really, considering every box section is chock a block with dirt. I will fold up a u section and butt weld to the bit that is joined to the floor.

I think I can trump most, my little project is at 15 years, that said 2 children and building a house has been in between.

I think ultimately as long as we play its good for our mental health !

Clay, I didn't think FB/EKayers knew how to take a selfie !!!!!!

Good stuff looking forward to when its rolling with rego.

Regards Greg

I have been building my 2 door for near on 20, you cant rush these things ..........

I guess the reason I got this car was to have a driver so I can take my time on the van. Thanks for your interest every one.
Cheers

Bit of exciting news. Seat is ready. I wasn’t expecting it to be ready so quickly. I can’t recommend Shaun too highly, for timelines, workmanship and cost. Thanks to Gledge for the recommendation.

Ive tried to go original as practical with out going to massive effort. The colour is a near perfect match for the painted metal trim. I still have to take the trim off and give it a decent buff. If it doesn’t come up better I may end up getting an aerosol can matched up and give it a paint. Seems to have a slight metallic hint to it.

I need to get the front on, weld up the roof, paint the dash and floor and install the insulation mat so I have somewhere to put the seat now.

That seat looks awesome.
And as someone who did a home re-spring and re-bolster job to an identical bench seat, I can highly endorse getting it done properly! Mine ain't that comfy Also I say leave that side trims, they look cool the way they are!

Looking good Clay

Sound deadening turned up

Washed under the car back to rear axle tunnel.

Haven’t heard of that brand before Clay. Let us know how it goes.

I just googled it and could only find it in a roll where did you get it and how much , I have been looking at the Clarke rubber brand I am not sure which way to go.
