Well, this definatley has to be one of the longest times between posts.. 10 days off 2 months to be precise.. lol

Over those 2 months, not much has happened to the car. But there has still be small amounts of progress towards getting it registered.

Well, while working on fixing my GTS dash fascia I wasn't getting enough heat into the plastic while I was 'trying' to plastic weld with a soldering iron. Cracks started to appear around the area that I was trying to fix, so I said stuff it and went and bought a cheap plastic welder off ebay to do the job right the first time... While waiting for it to come, I started stripping the old paint from the fascia.. And it hasn't been touched since.. :(

This is where it is up to though.. I have also decided to pinch a WB RTS badge off one of my spare kingswood dashes and fit it to the GTS fascia to make it a WB one..





I then turned my attention to the things that needed to be done for rego. I started with the mudflaps. I pulled the three ones off the parts ute, cleaned them up and gave them a once over with shoe polish to fill up the little cracks and make them look nice.. I also sanded the mounting brackets back and gave them a coat of black paint as well.. I am yet to fit them, because I'm still trying to find a passenger side rear one.. :(

Front Pair



Single Rear One..



The next thing was that the rear numberplate light bulb wasn't working. I got a new bulb, tried it.. No luck.. Then I tested all the wiring and found that It was all fine, I spent 3 days thinking constantly why won't it work?? And then it clicked, I pulled the light out and out comes the wire with no end on it..

So I got the one from the parts ute and fitted it..



Then I had troubles with the brake lights flashing when the indicators were on, and then the indicators coming on when the brakes were on.. I traced that back to me being an idiot and forgetting to put the earth strap on the taillights.. lol

Then I added coolant to the radiator, because it was getting into the minus' up here and I didn't want the radiator to shit itself..

Then came the replacing of the drivers and passenger side window winders.. I bought them both brad new from Kingswood Country and while I was at it, bought a new clutch cable to replace the severely stretched one thats on the car..





Just need to fit the window winder...



I haven't fitted the clutch cable yet, but thats the next job on my to do list..

Then came my 18th... Then I got my green p's..

And I spent most of today at a swap meet/show and shine.. I went over real early and had a look around, and the first stall that I went to had 5 original GTS wheel centre caps.. So I jumped on them, $100 for the 5 in pretty good condition.. 3 of the lions have tails and the other 2 don't..



Then I stumbled across some cheap HD badges.. I bought 2 of the metal inserts that go in the centre of the steering wheel, and one holden badge.. I am going to turn the steering wheel things into dished clocks.. and just gonna put the other one up on the wall in the shed..







And at the same place I seen a manifold sitting under a tarp, and lifted the tarp to see that it was a CAIN 2bbl holley manifold to suit a red motor.. He wanted $60 for it, but I talked him down to $50.. I got it home and started cleaning it up.. I think the carby is a 500cfm one, just not 100% sure.. lol







I also have a new indicator stalk from Kingswood Country to fit before it goes for rego..

Then came a nice package from @V6HQUTE ; that had a heaterbox cable for the demister that I am in the process of fitting now..

Other than that not much has been happening..
