Was ya repair cert man happy?

[Mr.Mk1]

I’d tell you if I’d heard anything!!

I was peaking about waiting but now I’m bogging and sanding doors and front guards I’m occupied. Will hold off doing the rear end until I hear back.

[FirstMate]

Did the booked repair cert inspection happen? How’d it go?

[Mr.Mk1]

Yep it happened, they didn’t even take it off the tow truck! Took photos and send it home. Haven’t heard anything back yet

When I first started following your build thread I have to admit I thought you were mad and there was no way the car would ever see the road. It seemed like a basket case. It looks like you are well on the way to proving me wrong so well done. This is going to be an awesome car!

Hahaha, I’m not surprised!

my headstone will probably read ‘always bit off more than he could chew, swallowed it whole instead’

Cheers!

New level of 'its to far gone', to anyone else 'parts car' but to you 'ah just a little bit of rust' - Your work is awesome man.

It’s great! Work flowed well but I cared about dust all of a sudden, haha.

Oil pickups are pretty cheap on rockauto,, last time I had the pants off my engine I fitted a new one 

 

on another occasion I unfolded the edge to remove the screen and clean out the pickup , then made a new mesh out of a kitchen siv and re folded the edge over  

[MRWEST]

Man you dont piss around ay, some serious progress has gone down on this thing!

[Mr.Mk1]

Just a kid in a candy shop

[SOHC]

You dont fuck around I must say.

Is that assembly lube and cam lube in the sump?

That’s something I didn’t think of, seemed to seperate easily and I’d have thought perhaps the lube would melt into the oil pretty quickly.

let’s hope it was!

Looking so good!

I still can't believe its the same car.

[Mr.Mk1]

Cheers Jeff, really pumped for one-shiny-colour stage now!
