thankyou to those following the thread, for the advice and help so far
UPDATE = The good news is i have purchased wheels and the elusive bolt ons have been made (thanks 120fly!!!!!! awesome service), ive got some catching up to do on this thread, so here is some last pics of the stripping/ sanding and then off to "THE FACTORY" for metal restoration!!!!!!!!!!
i have purchased new doors, as these were beyond repair and were a waste of time stripping back! looks like i might be purchasing a few more panel as it it a mess under there... thank god they make em!
This took me on and off about 8 months, not fun but i feel i know every inch of this car now. it still has a long way to go as far a body work!
I also stripped the interior, dash, roof lining, carpet, seat, seat belts, visors etc etc etc and kicked out the engine so as we have a bare canvas.
Also the front windscreen had a crack which will need to be replaced and all glass removed as ive bought a whole new rubber kit, every rubber in the car down to the pedals will be new and shiny, not cracked and faded as it is now!
OFF TO " THE FACTORY"
me and a mate beau pushing it out of the garage for the first time in months..
That is Beau's brother Harley in the drivers seat who will be entrusted with the application of paint on this beast, this kid has some madd skillz, and his dad who is one of Australia's best car builders will have his hands on the bodywork.. I think its in good hands...
Beau and i lifting more than our combined body weight, lol
all loaded up and sent away on the maddest flatbed truck i have ever seen.. Beau's dad is a genius, its got a big block, tv's microwave, lounges and beds, reverse cameras and airbags!!! pimpin aint easy.
