Stretching the rubber as you install it will help reduce the height and let it squash down easier only way I could get my doors and boot to close

I’ll take 6 Harv

Great

Hello Fred,

Where are you located and can you post some pics of the rusted areas

Thanks
Frank

Sounds like you've covered all the bases, let me know what you find !

Sounds like it's running a bit hot, pressure test the cooling system and go from there! Ensure you have the right thermostat and radiator cap fitted! Failing that you may have circulation issues?

Thanks Stinky

No worries Stinky, please let me know if you get some more of the blue in.  How would you colour the White?
Thanks
Frank

Hello Stinky,  wondering how you were going with the roof lining material as I'm looking for some in blue for a ute project

Cheers

Hello All,
I purchased a wiper pivot bush set off ebay some time ago and got round to attempting to fit them today.  The nylon bushes have a round hole and the wiper pivots have a hexagonal shaft.  If anyone has had any experience in fitting these could they please point me in the right direction
Cheers

Hello, can you post a pic or confirm which model this pump is out of as they did change over the years

thanks
Frank

I am unsure of your location but Nepean Spares at St Marys would be able to sort you out

Try a Brake and Clutch service in your area, they should be able to give you the correct advice

If you are referring to the panel that the chrome work is attached to then you need to remove one guard atleast as this panel wedges in from the back, from memory there are also screws attaching this panel to the guards, panel under the grille also needs to be removed

Hope this helps
Frank

caltex torque fluid 454 is what caltex specify

Welcome to the Forum
Nice looking car Rach, looks like a good starting point for a restoration-being a complete car and running makes a big difference. 
Just to change the subject, to combat rats in the shed we put rat bait in a few places normally under the bench and shelving where the dog can't get at it and top it up when it goes missing don't have any rat problems since we've been doing that.
Pearlcraft do a fantastic job I highly recommend them, and look forward to more progress pics

What you need to do is get a block of wood place against the back edge of the strip on the top side and tap it gently with a mallet progressively working your way along.  You will need someone to hold the sunvisor sections for you as this will help stop you from hitting the strip too hard and damaging it. The same method can be used for the stainless strip along the gutter edge with the block of wood placed underneath and tapping gently with a mallet care needs to be taken not to bend the strip so you will need an assistant to help hold the strip as you are removing it

I found I needed to stretch the rubbers as I installed them to reduce their thickness, the inner rubbers for example I got two doors out of each one. As when I installed one in its full length it held the door open and didn't let it shut properly.  If you are in the local club ask an experienced member if they will take a look for you before you make any mods to the vehicle especially if everything lined up perfectly before painting as you could damage or bend something unnecessarily.
