put my dash back in the other day, had a few problems getting it lined up, but got there in the end, dash cluster in and hocked up, pics to come soon.

i've put the locks in the doors, just need to get a new rod for the passager door so i can open it from the outside, still have to put the drivers window in as well.

hoping to get engine in her in the next few weeks........

test fitted the front seats, have to replace the drivers side rails as the seat does not slid back and forth the way it should, got the back seat in, put seat belts in, have to fix up the rear belts as not sure how the bolts and washers go for them to fit right, took a guess at it from the 6 tins of bolts, found the ones i need thanks to help from some friends. headlights are in as well, had to drill open the holes as they had been filled in, the lights i have didn't line up with the holes that where already there.

pics will be up soon.

Ok, been a while since i have given a update. At the moment the wagon is waiting on the new engine to be dropped in, just have to replace the welsh plugs and she'll be right to go. Still looking for a few things as well, need to get roof lining for her and redo the door trims.

Will get some upto date pics soon.

been a while since i've been on here. since my last post, i picked up a TE sedan for a run around and ended up pulling the engine out and putting it in the wagon. with the help of Justin, who sorted out the wiring mess from before, we got her fired up and running. only taken 8 years or so for the wagon to have a running engine in her. still have some work to do on her, but i'm slowly getting there.

pics up soon.
