grill needs the center cut out and fitted mesh put in, then painted black, and that front bar looks rad! loving this build, keep up the good work!!

what was the radiator from? im looking for something slightly thicker but narrower than the s13 job

radiator is a honda civic one, needed to modify the outlets 90 degrees but other than that its tops!!!

thanks idatto, checked out your blog, mighty fine truck youve got there, fresh photography skills too!!!

thanks mate! if you were closer id offer some shots and cruise when your done...

^^^^^ ID BE UP FOR THAT, hopefull i get up there once its on the road, want to go to japnats and jamboree one day!

worked on the doors today and installed my new felt bailey channels, and chrome trim rubbers. fantastic quality for a kit.. as usual went through the process 3 times put together take apart because ive forgotten something and then re-install again before i got it right :(
then the second door was done in 20mins, due to the lessons i learnt on the first door :)

bailey channel made of felt on rubber which the windows slide in.



it comes in one long length to be cut up by the owner then glued into place in the doors



here is a tip while the glue is drying in corners or bends cable tie a aa battery in the channel to hold the rubber into place to dry.



finished silky smooth



next were the chrome trims, the kit included intructions for this installation, new rubbers and clips instead of the original design which was stapled into place.



they had become dry and brittle, one side was cracked the other had already broken.. First step was to remove the original rusty staples which i was able to do with computer screwdriver and then pliers.



then attach the new rubbers using clips instead of staples.



all done, new quarter windows and rubbers, new bailey channels and outside chrome and rubbers.



thanks for looking in, sometimes i wonder if anyone reads this?

Don't worry mate, people read it and are jealous as haha - me being one of them! Looks a million bucks, really makes me feel like I should get off my arse. Kudos!

Great build (and blogging), it's inspiring to see someone having a crack at something that you intend to do so they find out all the problems first and hopefully helps us avoid them!!
Good luck with the rest of the build and I look forward to seeing it hit the road.
It looks pretty close now.

i read alot of different peoples build threads on different forums and feel the same, makes you want to pick up the tools sometimes..
