    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

    Gave the diff a Dulux reco today, I will be recoing the callers during the week and sourcing new rotors.

    Then just need to start sourcing suspension bits so I can do it all in one hit, then the back end is done!

     

    Opinions on Nolathane vs Superpro vs Whiteline?

    I will be buying new trailing arms, upper and lower, adjustable pan hard and new springs and shocks

    Gave the engine bay a wash, it tidied up ok

    Then decided to give the outside a wash, I’m still surprised that apart from the oxidised paint the body is in decent nick

    Removed the typical 80’s window tint that was bubbled and purple.

    Then fitted a new steering wheel

    I bought a VC SL/E disc brake diff, so now just collecting bits to rebush the rear end while I fit that

    Fitted some SLE rims and gave the roof a cut

    It’s looking tidier now, but will probably get a blow over in the same colour later in the year

    I should really buy cars that are closer to my house!!

    After a 5am start, I left Pakenham headed for Corryong, got home at 6:30pm, but it’s safely tucked away in my garage, uneventful trip and I drove it onto my trailer and straight into the garage.

     

    need to sort out some brakes and start replacing some bushes underneath to start tidying it up for RWC
