[HAMISH2]

can't go past the crushed velvet.

noob question,you reckon that came standard or was put in?

more progress pics
just about everything in the front end was replaced,bush's,wheel beerings,cv joints,front shocks,the rotors and pads were done later on havnt got any progress pics





the old rts shocks were still there,had to go,so out with the old in with the new

[HAMISH2]

as i said before previous in my post the car was running on 5 cylinders,so got some second hand 253 heads sent away and put them in,i had the fun on removeing the heads myself,was lots of fun


the new heads(well almost new)


these were the old heads,few of the cylinders were burnt out,was cracked in a few places

all back together,changed plugs and leads and a few other things

while other parts were waiting to arive ,started fixeing up the interior
the center console was bit mangled
so took it out,cleaned it up and replaced a few of the missing bolts and bolted it back in


decided to keep the woodgrain pattern on,plus didnt want to wreck the original console
the front seats were taken out and fixed up as well as were broken on the sides missing bolts aswell

[HAMISH2]

as for the back
took out the old destroyed speakers,and ripped out all the dodgy wireing
vacumed it all out,got measurements for the sides and arch way so i can get the interior done panels redone later on,and replaced the old carpet that was torn and faded




and thats it for now
atm waiting on the wireing on the front lights
installing the indicator leaver
new heater/dimister cable waiting on the wreckers to get it out for me
locking for the back door,the bars are on order atm from rare spares
and hopefully that'll be it till it goes into the panel beaters which will be in january,hopefully!
so yeah im hopeing once its licenced and painted will start working on the interior in the back and swapping over my 5 grand sound system from my other car,then sussing out a 308 down the track and maybe rebuilding that,all time and money atm,but il keep you all updated

Hey guys,finnally got my sandy back from the panel beaters,has been there since mid january
just a few progress pics i took last month
kinda sucks when a panel beater points out more rust to get done lol but most of the anoyying panel work is done 2 more monthes till it goes back in to get fully primed up and the front windscreen bits done,got a new tailgate on order atm,finnaly finishing a few bits to get it licenced









was very happy with the end result,still alot more work to do,because the panel beaters is booked up atm,will be hopefully working on a few other things
will try to keep every1 updated

Great progress pics! Is it coming along as planned or have had any unexpected set backs?

No it wouldn't have come standard it would have been done by the previous owner prob first owner...it would have had a vinyl hoodlining exactly the same as the one in the rear, it ran right through....have a look at our van interior, in blackouts thread....good progress on your van, what colour have you decided to spray it....

has the original front apron by the looks.

i have a few sunroof sections if you want to get rid of the sunroof.

unexpected set backs ,just didnt realise how long it would take to get most of the roof done,and was told most of my interior in the front has to come out for the front windscreen bits to be done and i have to wait 2 more monthes before it goes back in again, i just want it licenced,it goes over the pits again soon

thank you for that,i still want the windsor blue ,although i can never make my mind up with cars,things always changed last minute

must agree I do like the blues myself! HZ DY4 is the best looking stripe colour also.
