Hello all, its been a few saturdays since I posted last, progress seems slow but now that I think about it all those odd jobs are starting to add up, the cars back on it's 'feet' and mobile again....
The coilovers finally went in after much swearing, haha.... I found a machine shop open on a perth public holiday and had the stud holes enlarged, flange trimmed down and 3mm taken off the disc diameter, much to my delight it was a three hour turn around and everything was moving freely and as it should be by the end of the day.....
The fuel tank has been painted, fitted and plumbed as far as the pump and regulator in the engine bay. The rear bumper was also painted and fitted for the fifth time (long story)..... New brake lines have been made and fitted, that was a task in itself, hours of thumb bruising bending and tweaking but worth it in the end.
I found a good zinc plater and have had all the nuts, bolts and hardware done for the car, the door strikers an example, even had the little clips for the bonnet cable done... I did wonder why I'd gone so far when doing up the hangers for the fuel tank, no ones ever going to see them again, but I'm finally happy with it after almost twenty years of ownership....
Been ticking off heaps of other little jobs aswell, the battery and isolator is wired, door and boot seals are in and I've been sorting the last of my interior trim.
We're having a new garage built over the next couple of months so I'll wait until thats done before I get the trimmer around to do the roof lining.
In the meantime the original engines going back in so that I can finish the wiring and do a test fire to hopefully eliminate any gremlins before the new one is built.
The original volantes are going in next week for a re-furb and tyres aswell....
Phew!!!! I have been busy
Cheers Drew...........
