Agreed great choice with the wheels. Will keep an eye out for it around gawler. You know there is a Barrossa cruise next sunday?

I like the wheels they go well with the green of the car.

Thanks, I think it will look better once the car actually settles again

Put the seats and door trims in the car today, very happy with the end result.

[thatotherguy94Participant VS Acclaim, VZ SSZ Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 189]

Just a normal buff with a firm foam orange pad for the cut and softer foam black pad for the polish, put the wax on by hand. Dont have much detail on the pads as I dont have the packaging they came in any more.

very nice! I really need to finish polishing mine… What product are you using?

HB body cut, and then polish, which I bought from a paint shop. Finished off with Bowdens Wax

Really nice car, great transformation… Missing the holden badge??

Thanks, its a pretty tidy car for its age. Yeah I took it off because the H was missing

Motor coming along, distributor and wiring loom back on and painted a heap of brackets and cleaned more stuff. Small progress but its progress

[thatotherguy94Participant VS Acclaim, VZ SSZ Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 189]

Engine coming along, I should be picking it up next weekend hopefully

[thatotherguy94Participant VS Acclaim, VZ SSZ Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 189]

Motor was sent to the engine builders for a bit of a freshen up, should have that back within the next few weeks, have just been cleaning bolts, brackets etc for when it comes back. While I had the hq out of the way I also tried the back seat in.

Gave this a wash today and had a bit of a mess around with it, decided that im going to put electronic ignition in and priced up new tie rod ends, drag link etc so will probably order them this week. Need to get the carby rebuilt as its leaking from the shafts I think. Once its on the road ill take it to a gas place and finally get the gas tank taken out. Other then that it hasnt really been touched much

Before wash, 6 months worth of dust

After, paints stuffed but at least its clean

[thatotherguy94Participant VS Acclaim, VZ SSZ Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 189]

alright ill grab these, will PM you

[thatotherguy94Participant VS Acclaim, VZ SSZ Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 189]

Where is pick up from?

[thatotherguy94Participant VS Acclaim, VZ SSZ Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 189]

Minor update, wiring looms have been checked cleaned and re-tapped so those are ready.
Pulled most of the stuff I think needs to come off so the motor can be rebuilt, which should be happening very soon.

Battery Loom

Engine loom

motor as it sits now
