Just a few pics of what stage I am up to.

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.

I started with a stock car that had been sitting around for awhile with no motor in it.

Put a motor in and went for rego inspection.
Once I got rego it was time to start cutting her up and installing new front extended tube axle front end with 4 piston disc brakes.

Then put new sheet metal in.

So that it the stage I am up to.
Next to to chop the roof down 3 inches.
Im just finding it hard to locate some new window seals for when the time comes to install new front and side glass any help with these would be great.
