Well, I have still been slowly organising parts for the car...
I am going down on the 28th and working on it for 10 days and the coming home and getting school stuff done... :(
My brother found that it needs a new radiator, but we are going to see if it will go through rego with it ad then pressure test it after...
With the push to get the car registered, it has been decided that only the front end panels will get a coat of paint (maybe where the rust has to be fixed aswell...) and the rest buffed up. That means that the holes i the rear quarters won't be welded up.. Therefore I will be getting some rubber/vinyl body moulding to run up the side and cover the holes until it gets new paint...
All going well, the car should be registered early next year, and then I can drive it around while making modifications/improvements here and there...
Now for some pics...
I have had these HQ GTS rims for a while (I just never got around to putting pics up...) I paid $200 for the set with 2 trim rings and all the wheel nuts.. The tyres are alright. They need to be re-sandblasted and repainted..
They are also apparantly canadian rims, but I will find that out when I remove the tyres..
I found some old photos on mums camera from when we first bought it... These show just how far the thing has come, I also found out that I had some parts that I didn't know about..
The day we brought it home...
Interior before the floorpans were completely bare metaled, rust converted, body deadened and then painted... The dash has also chaged...
Engine bay, this is the most notacable part of the car that has changed...
With the original burnt 202 and auto (was origially column manual..) This motor is now becoming a table for the shed..
And all the parts that came with the car..
Well, thats it for the moment... I will make sure that I get a heap of photos while I'm down there and I'll put them up here when I get back..![]()
