Bit of progress since i last updated (been a bit slack) managed to make a road trip up to barsby's and i got lucky and scored a set of 99% rust free guards and a rust free bonnet for $300 BARGIN! and with in 24 hours of being in possession i stripped them back to bare steel prepped and got them into primer as well as getting the doors done too. Made up my custom gearbox cross member 2 weeks ago using a 6mm thick steel plate which i then positioned and double seem welded to the original cross member and drilled the holes up to bolt to the tri- matic box to the plate, this was all done because im using all the original parts and the way i wanted the motor it fell 4.38mm too short of the original cross member (Its always just a flies **** out) so i made a plate to compensate the gap and she's now all bolted up and im cheering then striped back the tail shaft and sprayed it up in a gloss heat residual paint and got her bolted up and now im just waiting on a set of custom headers to be made and i'll have the girl running then its a matter of paint and panel, steering, brakes and interior and she'll be on the street so yeah just thought i'd update you guys on how it all been going
