Shit finally. last page was getting a little slow on my laptop. Anyway after that 80s banger we have some pics 

Turns out the TEA is a little light to pick the front of the Cedric up so we had to do it with a jack like normal people

Any way I gave Red a hose off with the waterblaster

And then found somewhere to park it so I could leave the window down to let the inside air out. Doesn't it look smart on those wheels

Plus look at this awesome tune player parading around its transistors

So nothing really stunning has gone on I more felt like uploading some more pics of the car to the interwebs. I crawled under the car and it looks pretty good underneath. Ill probably drop the front subframe and rear suspension out to give them a lick of paint and tidy up the engine bay. I think i need to make a todo list. Ok I'm done, you can go back to your life now.

Time passed and a rego on hold H330 turned up for sale. No motor and power steering box, plus a couple other bits missing but live plates. And lots of rust. The red Ced is going to donate it's motor for the short term and be shoved in a corner, Ive got to go pick up a parts car the has electric windows and a couple other goodies.

Went and picked up the 330 parts car. Got to have some unsupervised fun with heavy lifting equipment.

Much progress has happened. 

Made a list

Then ripped the front subframe out of the parts car as I'm going to use it.

The parts car also had an unexpected bonus in the form of Lumenition optical electronic ignition.

While removing the exhaust I managed to snap all 3 studs off which then required the use of an acetylene torch to remove.

Dealt with leaky core plugs also revealing lots of corrosion in the cooling jacket.

I went oldschool and shellaced the fuckers in. They wont come out any time soon.

The shellac bottle said "Caution Flammable" on it. Decided to put it to the test.
