been doing a bit today had a black out for a few hrs which was annoying, cleaned the shed a bit, pulled a few bits off my wagon becasue a local bloke is interested in it for the sills and cowls to fix his ute, also been reskinning my tailgate, pretty easy, put a few small dints in it but ill know for next time, also reinforced it so it doesnt get bent again, made it pretty stiff and feels heavier
reinforced

rust sealed with KBS, pretty much POR15

good old bit of rope lol

not far of finishing


easy as if anyones thinking about doing it

got a pair of electric windows today with switches all working, switches are in a holden box but im not sure if there nos or just in a box, havent looked yet, pretty cheap i reckon $150 for the lot

[V6HQUTE]

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

[V6HQUTE]

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
