Hilda's Extreme Makeover

[Emu]

Here's a shot of Sarge's rhs A pillar. Just a bit of work on the inner sill and thats all the A pillar probs solved. Chasis rails are repaired.

Lets paint her Kev.  ;D ;D ;D

[Sarge]

Wel Ladies & Gentlemen & Kiwi
     Sorry it has been so long between updates, but I have been busy else where for the last week or so & my leader has be out boating for the week. We both figured that Hilda was going so well that we could just kick back for a bit of a rest.
      Well today the last of the welding was finished on the rust repair side of Hilda, all thats left to weld now is the mounting plates for the seat belts and this will be done on Friday. So now its over to the painter, then Hilda will be on show to all.

Cheers
Sarge

P.S Sorry Kiwi but you never stood a chance.  ;)

[Emu]

Apologies for the interval between posts guys.

As Sarge has said, I have been otherwise engaged and we have felt no time pressure anyway.

Actually, sarge has taken the day off tomorrow to pick Kiwi up from the airport after which he intends to inflict himself on us for a few days. Ouch!!  :'(

Here is the finished pic of Sarge's Drivers side A pillar repair.

Here's one of the left side with a bit of colour.

Did I mention that Kiwi is coming tomorrow.  :o  :o

[Emu]

Here's a shot of Hilda as she slowly transforms. The transformation should speed up from here.

Hey get this....... kiwi will be here tomorrow.  O.. M... G!!!

[Emu]

With all the posting of these shots, I may have neglected to mention.... The Bloody Kiwi will be here to haunt me in person tomorrow!!

Do you guys from the west have any words of advice as to how best survive this impending trauma?

HELP!!!  ???  :(  :'(

EMU
Thanks for reminding me about the little fat bird. Be "shore" not to leave him alone with Hilda. He may get some idea's for his own makeover or should I say makeovers, as he sure has been stock piling of late.

Hope to see you all on wednesday night at the meeting.

Cheers Jim

congrats to you and Sarge on what looks like a bit of resoration magic

Martin

[Emu]

We'll be there Jim.

Thanks for the advice Martin and Trev. I'll let you know how we get on.

[Sarge]

Thanks Martin for those kind words. Now its up to kevin the painter to work his magic.

As for Kiwi, the best part of his trip will be takeing him to see Hilda in person.  ;D And if he steps out of line Kevin always has that killer guard posum/dog thingy.  ;D ;D

Cheers

crikies boys,better frisk that pesky Kiwi before he goes near Hilda ,you never know what devices he might plant to sabatage your good work.

[blacky]

Whatever else happens, keep that kiwi away from the ugg boots !!!

[Sarge]

Hell you go to pick the guy up at the airport and he steps off the plane and give's you a sheep.  ;D I keep trying to tell him I am not for sale. ;)

Cheers
Sarge

Kiwi
       Hope you enjoy Today looking at that number plate and that chrome half as much as I enjoyed Today with all those paint fumes coming for around Hilda.  :-*

Just remeber those Item's can be replaced, but there is no chance of your FC ever looking anywhere near as good as Hilda.  :) ;) :D ;D lol

You remeber Hilda The car that was part of that challange you put on the forum Aussie's V Kiwi's. Hilda's the Aussie entrant, have you Kiwi's got a car to restore yet, it's just that I havent heard anything about kiwi's extreme make over in so long. : :-* ;D

Cheers
Sarge
