🤪🤪 Things like that shouldn't even be spoken about in Jest!
Yes your right.. Sorry. I'll never say it again, an never use fiberglass either!!
finally got around to getting the valance done, taking back the bog revealed more surprises, so a bit more welding. i dont understand why someone would go to all the trouble to repair a panel then fill the rust holes with bog. not that hard to put a plate in..
oh well.
bare metal
red oxide
so finally all the major metal work is done. but its that time when i have to go back to work, so the toys go away again.
bit tight on space now, so only one thing to do...
couldnt help myself..
now to wait 5 weeks till i can work on it again. damn
Hey Dion, looking good. Your engine bay almost looks as full as mine. Haven't been on for a while. Been real busy. I will update mine with some pics of what I doing with mine soon.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
Prob leave red oxide for now. Was thinkin of blending, but would prob look a bit odd, it already looks odd with the one rear quarter with paint on it, the joys of a cover that worked. Once. Haha
How did you go getting that metallic orange paint you were asking me about? I also spoke with the guys in the states for you... They said your custom flame design rims can't be made in 24" only 22" do you still want them? This rusty wreck will be gleaming then!
Won't be an update for 2weeks now. Have to go back to work, then I'll be stuck into it again.. Not much left on the old girl to do before final assembly.
little more 2day. heaps of niggly stuff that took ages and Mia even helped out.
had to disassemble the engine cause some dick (me) forgot the oil baffle plate in the generator stand..
got the body on the pan, lined up the holes, tightened up one of the passenger side heater channels only to have it pull the captive nut out of the channel. so back to cutting and welding again 2moro..
Finally, after cutting an re welding in a new captive nut, the body is married to the pan again..
Just need to install the front 4under the footwell, need to raise it to get under it 1st..
