Close up of the Dunstan kit.  High quality and it just worked.  Awesome bit of kit and highly recommended.

shame about the shell. i had a 2 door with the same kind of rust. not very nice at all. did you end up deciding to fix it or just get another shell?

Hi Matt.
 
Great to see it all come together and thanks for the comments
If I was in Melbourne those brake lines would be all but done

Hey Scott,
 
Good news on this front.  I had a dude out yesterday.  A young guy just setting up his own panel beating business and he has quoted me $650.00  to repair and paint the engine bay rust section as well as the rust on both sides of the rear pillars.
 
He seems like a great guy so hopefully it all ends up well.
 
Getting done on the 21st of Jan so I am super pumped.
 
Cheers

Paul,
 
Where did you get the axle flange bolts from as I need 2 of them and have been to a number of bolt shops with no success?
 
Not coming to Melb soon are you?
 
Matt

Hi Matt
They're 5/16 UNF x 1.5" (Grade 8.8 I think) so nothing spectial.
Any bolt place should carry them - I use Universal Fasteners.
If you get stuck I can throw a couple in the post?

Am fitting R1 carbs to the pinto.
 
Got a 2001 set of carbs off Marty Mexico (great guy) and he has a mate making up a manifold out of aluminium too.
 
Hopefully they'll arrive in time for Small Ford Sunday.
 
I have everything else now so just waiting for the carbs and Manifold.
 
Cheers
