Engine bay has been clear coated.

 

Some Oics of a little bit of work.

 

Much degreasing going on with original front end.

 

Need to register the car as stock standard as possible, otherwise, due to our Nanny State laws, much grief will follow.

 

Of course, good stuff will be bolted in once car is passed for registration :)

Standard caster rods prettied up and fitted.  Will be replaced with adjustable items when registration headaches are finished.

Standard struts and rotors cleaned up, quick coat of paint and into the car.  These also will be replaced with bigger brake setup after car is registered.

Different shoes.  Not overly liking them though they do have near newish tyres on them..

Digging through the multiple spare parts repositories and found one set of bar brackets.  Into the derust solution for a quick soak and today will see them bead blasted, etch primed and then painted.

Speaking of bead blast cabinet, started cleaning out some parts that have been sitting in it for a while.  Some very good door hinges cleaned up and etch primed.  Will be put away in the treasure section for use another day.

This is really creepy.  So I post an Oic last night of the wiper cowl. When I was fitting it I thought gee it would be nice if I had a pair of the rubber grommets to cover the pivot points, ill order some in a few days.

 

Short time ago I bead blast the wiper arms and post an update Oic.  I swear, not five minutes later Ive walked back in to the shed and looked at one of my shelves and thought, what shit is hiding behind the circular saw and other crap Ive shoved up there, and, this is what I find!

Not really spending much time on this project.

 

Had a day off work today so, did some stuff in between writing a job application and taking the daughter to the dentist.

 

Im kinda like a Ninja on this project, i'll sneek in and do a quick bit of work, then hurry off to do something else.
