thanks guys. Most of the credit belongs to my dad, he has done most of the work teaching me along the way. Was buffing today and the buff died, so
moved on to repairing the stainless side moulds. Will keep you posted.

started putting front end back together. Bought clear blinker lenses but decided to use orange ones.
All the stainless side moulds are now repaired and put back on. Decide to go with flat tailight lenses.
Dash back in but a little worse for wares. Don't know if I'll be able to get it repaired or have to find one in better condition.
Having problems at the moment with the fitment of my new german door rubbers. All gaps and lines are right but with the rubbers on the door is very
hard to shut and springs when opened.
Few more jobs to go including fabrication of seat mounts for front seats, repair brakes and refit carpet, glass, window scrapers (finding this to be
quite difficult), and put headlights in (using different headlights so will have to add mounting brackets to headlight buckets). Then it's off to get
a blue slip.

a couple of updates.
The headlights are now in.
Although not working properly.
The drivers side is only getting
enough power to make the
fillament in the bulb glow red.
And the high beam relay only
works when the headlights are
switched off.
Drivers side low beam
Drivers side high beam
Passengers side low beam
Passengers side high beam
Also think I have a short in the
blinkers they were working fine
but have stopped. While fiddling
around with them to try and get
them working again I noticed the
flash can was getting hot (almost
too hot to touch).
Got a lot of the fabrication done
on the mounts for the front seats.

Wow, you've done a great job. Such a neat notch you have there.
The paint work looks terrific. Why did you opt to use the orange blinkers instead of the clear ones? Did they just give the overall look more contrast
or something?
Cheers

Thanks mate. My door rubbers seem to have settled in a little bit now, although they stick out a littlle along the bottom edge of the door when it is
shut. They also became unglued when I fish oiled the doors and the oil seems to have eaten into the rubber a litlle. Very odd as every one I have
spoken too has said that fish oil should not have done this. Anyway may replace them later on down the line.
Would be good to catch up with fellow dubbers on the coast, should hopefully be out and about enjoying my notch after friday past blueslip today with
the exception of 1 balljoint, missing bump stop rubber, and rear shock absorber bush. All of which are now fixed.
