Thanks so much guys.  I will be adding photos of the build process when I get a chance but I have been putting it off as it takes so long just to add 1 picture.  First thing I will do tonight when I get home from work is take it for a drive again.....counting down the hours....

Hi guys,

I'm pretty excited so I thought I would make a post.  Today after 7 years of restoration my FC was registered. I feel like a kid on Christmas day. Good times.

I am still keen if anyone wants to get rid of one. 

Thanks again.

Victoria.  North West suburbs.

Hi,

Just wonder if anyone has a RHS front bench seat surround that that they wanting to sell?

Although it wont affect the registration, my vehicle is being registered next week and this is one of the missing pieces to have it finally completed.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the idea.  We will now try that. 

Thanks for the idea Wayne. I will give it a go and see how it turns out.Does it look ugly?

This is amazing. It looks so good. You have some real talent. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for the link FantaC but they are not the right ones unfortunately. Thanks so much for keeping an eye out though. I appreciate it.

You should buy it Andrew and reunite it back with the family...that would be a great story.....also did the original boot stick get sold with the vehicle in 1997?

No luck with Restorer's Hotline.  If anyone has these I am still very keen to buy them.....

Thanks Vin and Stinky for the tips.

Gee I hope I can find one (two) at Restorer's Hotline.  Otherwise it is make your own time....

Thanks for the ideas Ed and Gary.  I will just Start doing sweeps for the mechanics....

Does anyone know where I can get these?

Thanks again.

Bump.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out.  I am after two of these rubbers.  Rares did not have stock.

Like always, any assistance is greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere in the northern or western suburbs of Melbourne that conduct wheel alignment with TLC and understand how to get the old vehicles set up correctly.

I just don't want to take it to the standard places that tell you the computer says it's fine, so it's fine....

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Andrew,

Thanks so much for that information.  So the steel strips are matching colour?  We just bloody power coated them black!

It would be great if I could get a sample of the colour and maybe a pic if you have one.  I will PM you.

Thanks again.

Thanks Ken.  I couldn't find it either in the pics.  It would be hard to try and replicate without seeing the pic and talking to a person who has done it.  Maybe I just stick with the clear varnish on the ply.

Bump.

I should have mentioned that my vehicle was a van that the dealer put a rear seat in, so it still has a rear (although shortened) wooden floor.

Thanks again
