Good to hear Shane. I think we bought our cars around the same time. And it does get frustrating some times seeing your "as is project" sitting in the shed gathering dust. Must feel like a real sence of achievemement now that you have a number plate on it. Are you taking it to the Nationals? If so look foward to seeing it.

Thanks guys, can't wipe the smile of my face. New rims are on route from the states. Hoping they arrive by the time I make it back from work!!

For something different and unique I went a polished version of the American Racing Salt Flat Special 15s

Back from the rigs, so as promised a few pics and some stories about the finalisation of the car over the last year or so.







Needs a good buff and polish which is my first job. Bought one of these polishers of the net when I was away. Interent shopping always gets you through

Wanted the interior to be as high quality as possible so spent a fair amount of time prepping it.

Cut most of the rust out of the rear firewall, re-did all the mounting brackets and drilled new holes for the trim to ensure a good fit

Before


After

[shane427]

Fibreglass panels all got the treatment as well, scratchs and chips filled, all corners and pointing holes re-glassed and re-drilled



Trial fitted, these were in and out many times to get a good fit.

Steel trim all rubbed back for a smooth finish prior paint.

After paint...
