Gotcha. Just noticed the ‘Real Steel Custom Automotive’ sign in the background of one of the photos. I’m sure they’ll do a great job. Keep the progress shots coming 👍

Epoxy primer would be the best starting point as it doesn’t absorb water and you can (should you need to) apply thin amounts of body filler onto it and it will adhere as good as going direct to steel.

Seems to only be in the late model utes. Mine is an 85 and I have it (can’t be to important as mine is unplugged).

Problem is all the 1200 workshop manuals I have only show the earlier model wiring diagrams. I do have a wiring diagram from the internet that shows something called a ‘passing relay’, could that be it? The wire colours don’t match up though.

Plug has 3 wires going to it Black, Yellow and Blue/red

Hopefully someone can confirm.

Was just watching a few YouTube videos on the 2019 Sema show and spotted that coupe in the background. Good to see some close up photos. Clean machine.

(Looks a bit like yours Zigmondo 👍)

I just watched that Super Cooper race in ‘Fastest Car’ Season 2 on Netflix. That thing looks like a wild ride. I didn’t realise he offered them as a turnkey product. I thought that was just his own personal ride.

So what are you putting this gearbox in Andy. Have you bought another 1200?

I might have to give it a go then. I have had a set of Hella halogen inserts kicking around in the garage for years....just have to find them now!

So can this be used to upgrade from sealed beam headlights to H4 halogen?

That second picture is a Bluebird TRX wheel, not the Cheviot.

Yeah some nice rides there. Still can't believe there wasn't one 1200 ute there!

Wonder how the Sandown race track portion of the event went. Anyone got some pics to upload?
