    Bay finished now too, very happy with progress.

    Underside fully prepped, texture coated and colour laid down, getting excited! Came out fairly good after being pretty punched in and rusty when I first got it

    yea mate, I'm super happy with the quality, had another crowd do one previously and it looked shit - sometimes just gotta pay the $ and employ the best to do the job

    Just been to dashboard restorations to collect the repaired and rare T-Dash my car came equipped with. They did a killer job on it, but the $2k invoice definitely hurt a bit, had to be done right though as it's the first thing seen when you sit in the car., also bought new repro chrome dash trims to finish it off nicely

    Have been prepping smaller jobs inside underfelt cut for floor and hoodlining, plus foams, spent ridiculous amount of time trying to get seat mechs to work correctly(still not 100%). Major part is its now finally at the painters, spent a day yesterday helping prep underside, good things to come

    Dash painted matt black, originally did it satin but was too shiny still, so had to rub it back and redo, far better now. Car fully sound deadened, and have also made a new parcel tray

    Just got sent these pics from the late 90s. Was bought in Chch and driven up to Auckland, pretty sure it had a piston motor in it by then, as the rotary had been replaced after it died. Probably one of the last drives it ever went on!

    No photo, just a rant, at myself, decided to start fitting a few parts up inside starting with the wiring that runs front to back, the very first part to actually go into the car permanently.....and ive ficking lost it, searched twice, wtf, if this is a sign of things to come I'm screwed ffs.......

    Boot all painted up now too, for a complete novice like me, it was pretty tricky getting into all the tight areas , but came out pretty good overall imo.
  14. dabuzz
    Hell yes! She lives!! Sounds good man

    Fuck yes- after something like 9 1/2 years its finally got some colour on it, just a home job in the garage, but it's not seen so thought I'd just hit it. Majorly stoked

    Still busy prepping boot have re-epoxied, seam sealed, and filler primer, all ready for top coat. Have also cleaned up cabin, ready for some colour to seal it off. Dash and boot lid filler primer applied also. Purchased a new elcheapo spray gun for top coating inside car, and settled on Blak Mat for sound deadening. Full kit of 2x packs, roller, and tape was $375, still cheaper than 1x dynamat pack so I'm happy

    Car came home a while back, until I organise a time with the painter. Was hoping to go straight to paint but didnt work out, this has actually been a blessing as now with lockdown I can do a few small things on it. Have sanded back and re-epoxied inside the boot, filled where necessary and I'm currently sanding all that back, I fkn hate sanding......

    badass ride, good knowing that you were mostly only going to be dealing with new steel (floors etc) rather than random old repairs, good score tough looking car! Lockdown garage skids?
  19. dabuzz
    sweet old cruiser that! good score, nice and original too, which will be a massive bonus in the future
  20. dabuzz
    Some filling/blocking priming underway, coming out way better than I imagined
  21. dabuzz
    Thanks guys, yes so super happy to get here, been a long process, cant wait to actually be able to bolt some nice parts back on it in the near future

    Steel work pretty much finished! Chopper has done a killer job on it, no filler in it yet, looking pretty straight in epoxy, repair certifier has had a look and is happy too!

    Have you considered acid dipping panels like the bonnet that is split apart? Personally I found this a cost and time effective process, and can be 100% sure that you have found and killed all the hidden rust/pinholes etc.
  25. dabuzz
    yea man, just get it legal, could be unforeseen costs in doing that aione that could set you back budget wise before you even get a chance to modify, and besides, you get to cruise a while stock, might change your build direction
