Thanks guys. Nice to get colour on, a good physoclogical stage anyway


Have been cleaning parts and fitting running gear. Sitting back on its feet now, ready for new shocks (have been on order for a while now). Once these are done and front brake caliper seals replaced, will have a complete rolling body.

Engine has been put together and awaiting some paint, then fitting into the engine bay. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Cheers Vaughan, don't think it will make nats unfortunately with both me and the sister at uni in Wellington now.
I'll be lucky to make it in my green 120y! :oops: Exam period spans labour weekend this year

Had some good progress over the last few weeks. Engine went in over Xmas, running and driving now. No brakes yet, about to rebuild the front calipers.

Finally finished the last of the rust repairs, lower guards were rotten. Finished that up and began prepping the door shuts, bonnet, boot and some other bits.
Sanded everything and set up the shed booth! That was Thursday, got the panels on friday and began fine filling today. Aiming to get some highfill on this coming week! :D

Managed to get the rest of the panels bolted on, sanded and ready for highfill primer! Finished masking up and blew over it today. Will get onto sanding tomorrow and give it another blow over.

Aiming to have it at the paint shop next week!
