Spent some time on this over the weekend between jobs. Kayne came over on friday to fit panels and will align when the bonnet goes on next week. All the lights are now fitted and now working on the inside which is almost done. My dads been pining pretty hard and has detailed the badges which is pretty sweet. I will get pics of the exhaust while im fitting the gas tank as thats next.

Got my home boi home and onto putting it back together. Kayne has done an awesome job, so many details have been put into the car its becoming a pleasure to put back together. My personal favorite is the color between dash pad and windscreen being a paint match to what was factory tan instead of the colour of the car.

When I get it back I will have 4 weeks to get it ready for our wedding. Pretty unlikely deadline now but will give it a good nudge/thrust in the standing up/laying down position/london bridge.

I have been below the radar lately but shit the cars getting close. Asked Kayne for a photo before I head out on Sunday so heres a teazer he sent me. Cant wait to have a look before it heads off to get painted with it coming home around the 17th of Feb. I kept the engine bay original as the paint cleaned up really well (except the panel in grey) and I found a cheeky penis drawing behind the strut tower so that had to stay.

I had extensive rust repairs carried out by Kayne at In The Barn. I was super fussy on where my car went (1977 Toyota) and have nothing but good things to say about his work. Everything is photographed with estimates on price and what work will be done so I can go back and look at each repair and what it cost. He is based in Carterton and I have been over a lot in the weekends to check up on progress which helped as I was living in chch. I am now waiting for paint which is happening in the coming weeks and wanting to update my build thread.

Nice work on saving this and wonder what happened to PIEs. I have one of his old cars and still see his re-reg thread going strong.

Lifes been pretty busy this year with planning 2x weddings, promotions at work and buying a house and squeezing time in working on the car. Its been sent off for panel and paint and I plan on spending a day with Kayne helping strip and taking panels away to vapour blast at work. I have labelled and boxed a shit load of parts so the reassemble should be easy puhuhuhu. Pining pretty hard to have this done for my wedding and hoping to have a special guest from the Hawkes Bay attending.

Got my manifold back and sitting on the car which got me pining. Started fitting the body looms back in the car then found that the drive shaft I gave away was the one I had set up for the car and forgot I removed it so that sucks. Also fitted up a steering wheel from an unknown year corona coupe (gift from my cuzzy) which looks good.

So many of those vans in the UK and they all seem to look the same.

We got one for $200 but were to young to drive so drove around at dads work then I remeber being blazed as in a 13b sedan thanging thru Wellington city. Spend as little as poss and focus on getting it back together and onto the road. That old pic is awesome btw.

You will be hearing from me Al when I'm home and colour will be dark blue with a pearl or factory brown with a pearl. Still have a few things to do before it goes back for paint like laying some black lines down the road.

This guy was seen by an off duty cop and some other wintnesses who said the engine was loud. He also had previous car related offences. I didnt read the stuff article and assume this was brought up in this thread which I havnt read. I still think its pretty gay but he should have known better, Doing skids on a busy street with cunts walking around will only get you in trouble.
