Looking hot Tino!

If it hasn't been done yet I'd suggest rust proofing 'at bare minimum', the rear doors and dog legs of the rear quarter panels with fisholine/rust inhibitor of choice 'mainly due to the weld work that was undertaken on them, or is the dog leg a part of the rear quarter piece?'.

I'd be doing all four doors/quarter panels and the sill panels just as a precaution.

If you decide to do it you'll need to open all the doors and put ice cream containers under the drain holes as it will spoil on the concrete/tiles and we know how much wogs cherish their concrete/tiles

P.S Thats not dried bog, its washing up water thats dripped down from when they were wet and drying down the undercoat/clear.

Now the great task of putting it all back together.. was wanting to get the enkeis on tonight but we left the locknut tool at the workshop

Will get them on in the next few days

I thought you were getting it tomorrow brutha!

Should have called me for the lock nut as I got heaps and could have swung by after the Casino this morning.

Love that colour, will really pop on sunny summer days. Can't wait to see it with everything fitted back in, how's the fezza-esque sateering wheel coming along?

hahah its dust from the bog when they sanded.. then when they washed the car down it obviosuly stuck on the wheels

The only metal work that was done was the rear door sill/leg. This is getting a special coating in the next few days, to make it all look nice and factory...

The doors, i dont understand why u would put fisholine on as they have been painted and there was never any welding work done on them. In addition They have been sealed up so no moisture can get in..

Nah i found a tow thanks to dougie.. and got it in the morning after some running around...

The lock nut i thought was in the car then when i went to change the wheels looked everywhere... oh well.. though u would have made some excuse to not want to come to the ghetto...

I did struggle getting the car back into the garage.. theres a slight dip in the driveway to aid for runoff and i just tried and tried to push the car there but kept sliping due to the dew on the pavers.. hahah 1 hr later and i did.. Strongman you got nothing on me... kekekeke

Yeh i cant wait to see it completed and in the sun...

The steering wheel has been started.. Leather has been taken off the wheel and cuts made.. kekek

im also thinking of making a carbon panel that comes out from where the cruise control stick was, similar to the fezza wheel and put some buttons for map changing, launch control etc..

Just need to work out the wiring logistics.. which is the next step..

Got a chance to put the enkeis in.. fit perfect with room to spare.. Can adjust the trailing arms for a more agressive fit if required..
