Well, I have been studying for exams for the past week... But between the exams I have been doing the little bits... I fitted a low mount alternator... with a different alternator, to see if that was the problem with my battery...

The brakes haven't been bled yet, I just haven't got around to it... The power steering is fitted... but the belt is rubbing on the water pump pulley... I have no idea why, but I'm running a 3 belt pulley on the water pump, and a 2 belt pulley (aswell as harmonic balancer) on the bottom.

The hand brake isn't working... so needs to be adjusted more... I almost run through the fence.. :( and one of the 4 bolts holding the fan on the water pump come loose... while the car was running... :( so there are some dints, but luckily no major damage...

I cant get the bitch of a thing to idle... I've tried everything... and it still won't idle. I also started to fix the hoodlining where it was pulled to tight. But didn't finish it.

I have also been fixing the stainless trims... The decision has been made to get the car on the road, and then have the extra things put on... So were only going to have the windscreen chrome, the gutter trims, the kingswood b-pillar and the lower piece (that goes below the window on the door).

Here are some pics of the trims that I have fixed up... they arn't perfect, but good enough. There are some scratches, and a few small dints... but its all good.

I'm still looking for the two windscreen trims in good condition... eg. minimal dints and scratches... and also a set of good chrome scuff plates.











And all things going well, it should be headed to coffs next weekend!!! yay


Okay, another update.

I got my $65 set of seats home from sydney... to find out they are first gen commodore, not WB. I'm not annoyed, as I can just put WB rails on them and fit them.
Before



Half of the bottom bit had been cleaned in this pic.

After






Not bad for $32.50 each...

Yesterday I had the day off because I had no exams. I pulled some bits out of the interior and redyed them, and then refitted them. I also sat the new seats in the cabin.

Here are some pics of the interior with the new seats.




I got the old bench seat out of the parts ute today, cleaned it up... and it is ready to fit to the ute for rego.

The car is definatly going to coffs this weekend... My brother is coming up tomorrow with a car trailer to pick it up.... So it will definatly be in coffs this weekend. The bad part is, I don't get to work on it through the holidays.

All going well the car should be registerd before the end of the year, or early next year... the sooner the better...

Here are some pics of the car while it was out of the shed. Excuse the blutac in the holes on the guards... It's there to stop water getting into the body... they will get welded up once the car is in coffs.
