Well, I spent the weekend doing more fixing of my GTS fascia (nearly there!!! ) I have also been trying to work out the wiring/guage/sender problem with my dash.. The guages are being sent off to the guage shop tomorrow..

I also started to restore the 'idiot lights' as they were pretty crap.. lol I'm now struggling to get the black writing back on.. but its slowly getting there..

Mine is at the Panel beaters getting the gutters repaired, the lower rear quaters repaired and the cowl and associated rust areas in and around it. It will hopefully be back at my place in the next week. On top of that I have stripped the engine and other the bootm end is perfect but the heads had to get recoed. I will put it back together this week. I will post some pics with some before and after when I get it back.

This weekend Rodney and I worked on our ute. I completely stripped the steering wheel of all powdercoat,and Adam painted it, we fitted newly chromed bumper bar, rodney took the dash out and foound we need the metal under dash piece as current one is cut out and where the bonnet cable is, it is broken. Rodney and Adam fitted all the lugs the tonneau cover rope fits under, this proved quite tricky but with some thought sorted it out. I will put a picture up tomorrow.

Love the HX, especially the gun metal grey GTS dash… set it aside from rest in my opinion.

we went to a car club bbq to look at a members amazing collection of tractors and original holdens, we drove our van and did a couple of laps after and stopped at our local pub. One of our friends from long ago asked was that our van and how nice it was and remembered rodney's van from yesteryear lol
