A little progress report.
Just finished removing all the underbody tar. And will be ready to undercoat after this weekend.
The diff and fuel tank are out. A new diff housing with a 4.44 center is ready to go back in.
Now looking to modify the tank, so the fuel is only in the front 1/3, closest to the diff housing.
I will be touching up the exterior paint, while i paint the underbody Monza red.
A spit to roll the Mk2 over would of been nice. Painting upside down will be a challenge.
After that i will be replacing the twin carbies, with a singled 38dgas carb.

Great call David.  I didn't go red underneath, because i intend to paint the sills black. Hoodlining and twin carb air cleaner from smcka has arrived. And the extended drum brake shoes are ready to pick up. I am about a week away from finishing. First event will be the "All Aussie day" out Lakeside, early September. I hope to make it out for the Touring car event next weekend. 12-14 August.

Done and dusted, ready for roadworthy.  Some nice 215/50/15 Potenza's on the B45's. Everything from Smcka worked out fine. Ledgend. The all Aussie day went well. 4th in the slalom was fun, i doubt my time of 9.08 over the 1/8th mile was correct. Also just finished freashening the other sohc Pinto i have. Just a felpro headgasket and i have it ready. I might have the RS rego'ed for the run up Noosa hillclimb next weekend. I wish i was running in the event. Going up to support the old man in his 48-215 Holden.

As I've said before, it's good to see it back in the best colour again.

Roadworthy now after the break lines were exchanged for stainless flexable lines.
Just getting Christmas out of the way before rego.
Thank you to everyone who supplied parts and sarcasm along the way. What a ride!
