Hi All,
Now that the Monaro has gone it's time to start on the HJ. The plan, for now, is to restore the driveline and chassis whilst leaving the exterior of the car pretty much as is.
The old girl has good patina (hate that word) and only the bare minimum will be done externally, basically just enough to get through rego.
The driveline is another story altogether, all rubber components are pretty much perished and destroyed, the engine was smoking and noisy, basically everything is tired.
The plan is to remove the body from the chassis and restore the chassis and driveline, so from the outside she should look fairly untouched but underneath she will be all rebuilt.
So back on topic.
I haven't restored a car before, are there parts suppliers that you have used that you were pretty happy with?
To start with i'll need the basic's like,
Full rubber kit (including body mount rubbers)
Engine, gearbox, diff overhaul parts (maybe VPW, Aussie 4spds?)
Suspension and brake components?
Trim Kit and carpet (drivers seat needs repair)
Windscreen wiper motor overhaul, do you guys do these yourself?
Cad and chrome platers?

There's a lot more but that'll do for a starter.
Like I said this is all new to me and I appreciate your feedback greatly.
Gaz.
