Cheers man, still a bit more work to tidy them up and match the drivers side before i prime. First/last time i shape flares

 

 

Not 100% sure on the color, always changing my mind. Not even sure if i want it dark like Gun metal grey, or light like the orange thats on there now. Have to choose carefully because theres no windows to break it up. Have even contemplated oldschool stripes or signwriting, to help break up that area

 

I have just seen the mock up for my Van and its really cool the sign writer is a member.member. Dont go white its dirty every second day.

when i was a youngin i learned the hard way by pulling the engine out 3 times, that you can fit the 1300 sump by dinging it in the right places, but the knocking noise from the 1300 pickup hitting one of the conrods will make you think the sump is at fault, haha

Holy shit dude, that is looking legit!

Good work!

 

Cheers man, took me long enough ha

 

have a NOS drivers door if you are keen or anyone else? has one small dent.

 

Welded or bolt on hinges?

 

fucking hell man, that's great work on the rear doors, the bugs doors need work like that, not looking forward to it.

keep going, you must be nearly there?

 

Cheers man. Oddly enough those rust repairs i enjoyed doing, maybe just because of the reward seeing it all line up together so well. Its well worth doing knowing you wont have that problem again. Used a mates folder which gave a much better finish.

 

One last big repair to do below the rear doors, can see how wobbly it is in some of the photos. Its been hit and had things dropped onto it and then filled with lead. After that its a whole lot of shaping and sanding getting it ready for paint.

Good stuff man! I've got that bottom end from Auckland sitting in the back of the van. Im still in hamilton but should be home by the weekend hopefully (sick as a fucking dog)

 

Choice man. That's one hell of a hangover!

 

Just give me a text when your back and we'll sort out pick up & payment. Free most nights to collect

Just picked up a sport gearbox in the weekend among other parts, was a nice surprise. Only going by the solid alloy tail housing though, type E, on the burton site. Numbers on the box aren't bringing up anything. Full sport running gear now.
