Killer car, It’s a shame you can’t do backyarders!!

I want my bay to look like that!!

HDN05l you wouldn’t happen to have a link or something for the washer bottle?

Thanks, I thought I had put it on wrong until I got a bit of heat into it.

It was really glossy, but once it dried out it turned matte and started going wrinkly

Heres a close up:

And here it is back together

Haha, yea the headlining is going, as is the rest of the interior.

I’m going to get it redone in grey, might do leather seats, but the black and flames do nothing for me.

Pulled the rocker cover off today and painted it:

Before:

After:

Used heat resistant wrinkle paint

Rwc done today, just needed a windscreen, rear brake shoes and wheel cylinders.

Got it running better, found a loom for the auto not plugged in, reset ignition timing and replaced the air flow meter, fixed a couple of dash lights that weren’t working.

Dropped my forms off at my car club for club rego.

Nearly ready to use!

The worst thing…[Read more]

It’s not factory black, was originally beige

Pulled the front end out today, painted up the inner guards, taking the struts to work tomorrow to pull apart with my vice and Spring compressors, got all new bushes for the front, lowered King springs and new strut inserts. Then sort out the brakes!

looking at putting VT brakes on the front for when the LS goes in there’s one less thing to do!…[Read more]

Found an SLE rear bumper, it’s off a VH and the rubber has had it, but it’s there!!

Thanks mate, was using the correct tools, the thread failed on the bleeder

All good, sorted a new bleeder today and it fits in the caliper and tightens, which wasn’t happening before!!

Worked on the back end today,

fitted new upper and lower trailing arm bushes, adjustable panhard, new sway bar bushes, lowered springs and shocks. Rebuilt calipers and new rotors and new handbrake cable.

Went to bleed the brakes and stripped a bleeder nipple, couldn’t find one today so will have to source one during the week.

Just need to…[Read more]

Found a bumper, it’s a VH one, but still heaps better than the bent twisted one that was on it!

Not a great deal has been happening, pulled apart the headlights and painted the buckets to get rid of the rust. Replaced the indicators and fitted back in with new chrome moulds.

20% off at Rare spares today so managed to save a bit while I was there.

Looking for another front bar now

Fitted up my tail lights, really tidies up the rear end, I’m in two minds whether to paint between the lights black like an sl/e, thinking it might tidy up the back more

Fitted new lower trailing arm bushes today, picked up the calipers from getting recoed, just need to sort the rest of the bushes and brakes now, slowly getting there
