Hi Deano,
I've got a gearbox / clutch fork boot if you need one. I'm around every night this week if you wanted to swing by.

cheers Mic, will send you pm.
Did I see your MK1 in the  SFS pics floating around?

so the Ballarat Swap on the weekend was pretty decent. We arrived just before 7am,  and left about 12.30, having just about seeing all rows, apart from some of the motor bike section. It was in new premises, plenty of people, with queues stretching about 5m of cars waiting to get in.
Managed a few bargains, mostly little stuff and supplies.
 
10 packs for misc hardware screws for $5

One for Drewdog: Cortina and Matchbox all in one. Cortina was running  a 1600 crossflow, and a good start for someone at $700

it wouldnt be a swap without buying some more driving lights.
Cibies in good nick, chrome was nice.
I was thinking one might be able to use as a reversing light, like the round ones mk1's used to have?
Marty, if you could use one for the van, let me know
 

 
BAck into the shed, the last of the original paintwork that needed stripping off was under the bonnet.. What a pain!

Oh that swap meet would be mint! I know there are a few small ford guys and gals that live in that area so would have been some potential good finds.

Bonnet looks good, careful with this humid weather though, might flash rust real quick!

that was a good point.
We had a cold change and rain come through yesterday, and this weekend will be no shed time, so last night I mixed up the remaining undercoat and got the bonnet and another coat done on a back door.
Happy now that its sealed up like you suggested.
 
I might be time to refit the bonnet and gap it properly before having a go at those aerocatches next.

Looking good Deano.
Wow I'd have grabbed that Mk2 for $700 in a flash. With or without the Hotwheels sign
