So after owning the car for a little over 1.5 years this is the first time I have ever had the doors on it! going through the 2.5 sets of doors I have to find the straightest and least rusty ones, i'll then get them all blasted.

In this pic you can also see I have new front runners, and the passenger side guard is an example of what the car will look like!




And my wife has been playing with a vinyl cutter and also being an artist she has been playing with pics of the car and we came up with this shirt design

Mad!
f*#k the thing looks good with the hanging panels. I was wondering how this was getting on.

Shame it's not rego'd. You'd run riot down here chopping people. They'd never suspect the humpy.

lol you think the lumpy cam and side pipe is stubble enough to go sleeper Jonno ?

do this at the lights ?

Update required or send me the car

thanks for keeping me honest Jonno

so I put all the doors on and did some grinding on the bottom of them to see if there was any rust, found a few issues in some of them so still trying to get the best doors picked out.

I made a trans tunnel, mainly cause I wanted to mount the shifter





and started work on the firewall section.



after a lot of pain and three attempts they finally made me a tailshaft to the right specs

continuing panel work, attached the sill



then decided to start buying parts for the new diff, getting 10 inch wheels to replace the 7 inch rims, so did a mock up of what it might look like

got some go fast bits for the new diff!





sorted out the adjustable steering arms by getting a bit of hex rod machined up to suit the two different threads and also the adjustable steering arm adaptors that fit the rose joints onto!

remade the boot floor, and then re-made the tank mounts and straps, all finished now aside from trimming the rear of the floor and bending the sides down.



rebuilt the passenger side wheel arch and then installed the tub finally

its not quite finished but its pretty close, and the parts needed to install the tub were the main ones I focused on.



After I install the fuel system I worked on some retaining clips under the car for the fuel line up to the engine bay, next thing I knew I was plugging the wiring back in and testing it out

oh I have missed this cam

that side pipe <3

Solid update

Glad you approve Jonno

so you like the side pipe ? 2 step side pipe ?

Thing looks staunch as f*#k with the wheels on it! Tell me you are painting it that factory greeny-aqua?

nope its the royal blue that at the top of the forum page on the front guard.

How's it progressing?

I was thinking about this the other day #nohomo

yeah im slack, plus we had a baby in September!

so all the boot/diff/floor sheeting is pretty much done.
