Thanks guys.
Definately on track for Jindabyne. Next two weeks are going to be spent cleaning/reconditioning and painting everything that needs to be reassembled.
This shall give the paint enough time to cure to allow rubbing back and buffing, prior to final assembly.
March shall be an interesting month!
Regards
Edward

Thanks guys.
Picked up the rims with the "new" crossply tyres fitted yesterday. It is amazing how tall they are. No wonder you don't get an accurate speedo reading with low profiles fitted to 13" rims!
Slowly tracking down the last of the parts to finalise assembly over the next few weeks.
I've had some great leads provided by forum members for many of the parts I'm looking for, however the following items are still outstanding, if anyone can help:
By the way, NOS stands for new old stock.
- NOS glass for the rear side windows FITTED GOOD USED
- NOS rubber seals for the rear side windows and upper tailgate - not reproduction.
- NOS white hoodling or hoodlining material FOUND!
- NOS or repro rear rubber floor mat (will purchase from Obselete if no one has a spare) PURCHASED REPRO
- NOS horn button FOUND A GOOD USED ONE
- NOS grille badge and insert ; FOUND ONE!
- NOS black with silver fleck windlacing. FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE
- NOS or rechromed tailgate badge for a wagon/van
HAD ONE RECHROMED
Thanks
Regards
Edward

Here is a shot of the new tyre and rim package.  The rims have been powdercoated and I've been experimenting with repainting the hubcaps. It looks better in the photo! |

I have been actively searching for NOS parts for the last year, as well as cleaning, reconditioning, painting or chroming parts over the past few months, wrapping them and putting them away until I'm ready. It was "grille day" today. Better than Christmas morning...  Unwrapping all the goodies...  Several hours later...  The trial fit for the photo - complete with my first paint chip. (It had to happen!)  A big thank you to Brett and Craig for parting with their prized NOS grille components. It's for a good cause lads! Regards Edward |

Ed
Think you should change your forum name from Fast Eddie to Slick Mick ??
That is one hell-a-va restoration you are doing Ed you should both be very very proud & satisfied so far, I am sure there will be alot of very envious/jelous viewers out there - including myself.

Man, that is fantastic Eddie. I am just sorry I haven't got any of the NOS you are after to finish it off!! For that car, I would have donated it! Where did you get those tyres? Are they NOS or a new tyre? I need a set that tall & skinny for my Copcar, so it will cut through the air like a knife!! Regards, Rob J |
