    electric windows fell through, they were back door mechs modified to somehow suit front, actually came from a mandirin hj sandman panno, 308, 4 spd, and windowless, mate is restoring, but anyway have found some more electric, windows, downside there the otherside of aus in perth, all good tho, 50bucks for the pair+postage hopefully $20-30 but i auspost online reckoned $50, still cheap units, just ordered parts from rare spares, damn it adds up quick, just bought nearly $250 worth this round, gts dash lenses, hz console insert with boot( i got the whole unit so my trimmer can copy the boot and make another complete unit with my other one), and the front rubber strip, next round ill be up for 2 new blinkers, interior lamp lense, pitchwell rubber and probally more, good old apprentic wages are really helping

    we'll the electric windows once again fell through got another set lined up tho, hopefully 3rd time lucky, my parts from rare spares finally arrived, stopped into the scrap metal place in town today becasue you never know what idiot would scrap hq-wb stuff, stumbled across a passenger side electric window, mech and motor, paid $5.50 for it, motor is stuffed i think cant get it to work, still where can you get the mech cheaper than 5 bucks lol, also bought a hq single headlight nosecone, middle is caved in but i only wanted the section around the headlight to fix my twin headlight front, so 10.50 well spent i reckon lol

    sold one car the other day :( sad to see the poor old girl go but atleast it wont sit there rusting away, then virtually followed old mate back to town and picked up my new hx wagon, got her runnning within a 1hr which really suprised me seeing as she sat for years, drained the fuel pump and put some new fuel in and down the carb and off we went, no brakes what so ever, not even a handbrake lol, been crusing around with the dogs, in the back with the seats flat, its so gutless its not funny but i love it, ausome to drive, just cruising, cant get it above 75km/h lol, sounds pretty sweet for a 202, its a ex-charity rally car, got a bash plate under the box and sump, has a 3 core rad too, bit of damage tho, i think they must have hit a big bump and the fan has hit the rad, but still working fine, dont mind the 3 on the tree but id rather a 4spd :P

    and bought a wreck of a stato, originally bought the a/c out of it, but i need all the ducting and stuff, so i bought the rest and ill transfer each part from the stato to the ute, he was only going to scrap it, ive allready pulled off all the chrome/stainless trims etc etc, got one good guard and 3 good doors, bucket seats, uncut woodgrain stato dash, the rest is stuffed, going to literally next door in a few weeks with empty car trailer so she'll come home on it, there was 2 good guards but it got stuffed when he picked it up with the loader :( :( also smashed the rear quater, but i was cheap and ill have a empty car trailer,thats what i bought as it sits


    and as of last night the ute has come home for a bit, but its going to be progressing much more now which is bloody great

    body and chassie reunitied
