so glad to hear your able to finish it! can't wait for the day to see a photo of it finished. i think i might wet myself that same day!!

Nah, I'll do all my study in Aus and return here to open a business. I like Aus but only in small doses, the first world is a little bit too fancy at times (well in the city it is).

Anyway, here is the H145 diff (which will house a H150 centre). It was sand-blasted and primed in intergard 269.

If anyone wants Paint spec sheets let me know I've got everything from International Paints.










I'll paint these tonight.

Chris

chris are you going to stay in PNG or eventually move over here to aus?
i want that wheel!
are you going to keep blasting bonnets or just stick to the paint stripper??

Right well I'm out in a few weeks so I'm going to attempt to finish. Being realistic, I ought to be able to get the thing as a complete rolling car. Got engine troubles again. So now working on the original A10 - turbo charging keeps popping into mind.

Soldier on.

Here are some other items I have gathered over the last few months.

Deluxe Shields:




Sports Wheel sanded & varnished:





Halogen eyes, thanks to boofhead!





Door worked primed almost ready, perhaps 3 more sprays and rub-downs.




Boot lid ready for final coat. One more rub with 600 wet and it'll be ready.





Bonnet finally fixed after sooo many attempts.






I'm trying to get it done. So annoyed with early departure. I've missed out on about forty days of work in the mines (and they aren't too happy about it either). Anyway, hope to get it finished.

1000coupe, I am Papua New Guninean I am already at home.

no, so sad after all that work. dont sell it or if you do, keep all the good bits for the red one. I know where revhead lives, im sure you wont mind if we borrow it

ps i love that first photo, not often you see a volcano billowing smoke and ash let alone with a 1000 in the same shot

what a waste! FINISH IT!

noooooo finish it
send it here to my place...
on a lighter note ive found myself a 2dr sedan

this pisses me off actually, u were going along nicely with a ground-up rebuild we were all following and looked like coming together fairly soon. Y dont u try ship it home with u, esp if your company pays the bill...?

All went wrong with accomodation plans for next year.

I have rebuilt the engine, starting it later tonight. Free crank this arvo brought no scary noises or knocks.

I have to leave for Adelaide alot sooner than expected.

Project now closed. Car is going up for sale here locally as an incomplete project, perhaps in a couple of weeks.

The other option is to moth-ball it and store it somewhere.

Sad news....I thought I was going to make it. Cheers to all for the help.

any more progress chris?? oh and i will be trying another brake upgrade in the near future if your intrested in how it goes
