Thanks all.Oggz,I used Autosol then put on my buff then clean up with a polishing cloth.Cheers,Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Looking really good  :)
What type of buff are you using ?
I need to update my bench grinder and wondered what others recommend.

I don't know what it is exactly
but this car would give a jelly fish a horn!

Maybe the factory black and the amount of detail and quality workmanship gone into the rebuild- it just works
grats on a brilliant job thus far - nearly there now!

Hi all,back again.Just following up on your question Stewy this is the buff I am using.Started off life as a Buff,Fine Grinding wheel,Coarse Grinding wheel and wire wheel.Now anyone who thought it would be a good idea to put a buffing wheel right a long side a grinding wheel really needs to reassess their IQ as the two don't mix!Hence I have modified mine to buff/buff,grinding,wire and will soon lose the second grinding wheel and just be buff/Wire and buy a second bench grinder.

Apart from that I have managed to get a bit more done...


Door trims on...


Made some kick panels and covered them (anyone see whats wrong in these pictures...Yep fell for the old three card trick and and copied the template without flipping it over.Luckily it just fitted on the vinyl)


Got the new shocks in...



Rares seat surrounds that I have had for two years finally fitted!

[TTV6FC]

Oh yeah,then I did this....

Got the sun visors and rear view mirror in...

And the glove box...


Then the heater and demisters....

[Stash]

seats and interior look awesome Jamie.

[TTV6FC]

Then after that I ....

Put the carpets in




Then the seats.....

[Stewy]

Thanks for the info on the bench grinder Jamie

Awsome job on the interior, getting very close to driving the wheels off it.

Bet you can't wait after all the hard work you have put in

Cheers Stewy   8)

Dirty boot prints on the carpet. AAAAAAAAAHHH

[fcwrangler]

Jamie, that is one sweet looking unit, everything looks great installed. I bet it is a releif to have that much done, but I did notice that you left out the ash tray on the front seat(intentional or forgetfull). It gives me the kick start I need to pull my finger out and do some more on mine although work and renos at home have a lot to do with it.
Regards Jim
