Merry Christmas to all and have a happy new year.   

Such a cool group of cars , thanks for the share

Mate would love to see the pictures of you working the lathe and making the new parts, things are looking good under the car

Nice looking old girl.   I would have to agree with Ric, love to see more pictures. And we know you can as you got one posted perfectly.. 

Found these on ebay, the head size looks correct ..  you would just need to find out about there diameter

I know the head height is around half the height,but every other dimensions was correct. So I brought these ones

Looking really good Cam, you must be seeing light at the end of the tunnel soon...

Hi Graeme  Bloody covid came... I have been wanting to come over for so long and go for a spin with ya in your car.   Will have to do it soon ..  Maybe next week if your around, this week is to crazy for me at the moment.

Light at the end of the tunnel ..  I feel its a very small light at the moment, but this metal work is a very huge part of putting the car back on the ground. And I'm trying my hardest not to rush it and do it right.

Just want to drive it really   

OK B pillar done now for the C .

Finished of the bottom of the A pillar, now on to the B.

Great work rob. looks nice

Sills are on ..  just got to clean up the b and c pillar joins


One spring put back together with new center bolts and rubber guides, old ones were shot


Other rear spring pulled apart ready to be treated

I use IMGUR website to get my pictures loaded, here is the link to the steps   Posting pictures using IMGUR,  ,  there is tapatalk app and other ways to get the images up here.


 

Time to get the other rocker panel on


Cleaned up and test fit and was happy of the first trial fitting


While the bottom of the B pillar was open good time to get in the seat belt mounting plates. The top plate can be installed from the bottom of the B pillar (when rocker panel is removed) , but this is easiest done when the car is on the rotisserie as the plate needs to slide along the out side edge of the B pillar as it goes past the door hing mounting plates. If that Makes sense.
  (sorry for the shit pic was late)

Got the rear drums sorted, Machined and painted.


One of the rear springs was pulled apart


Finally got a nice day with out wind or rain to paint some items, The internals of the rocker panel, rear leaf springs, stabilizer bolts, rear spring plates, front end lower arms and front end caps

That's one great find...thanks for sharing

Great work the car is looking amazing

HI Pete , whats the harmonic balancer your running there ..?  And that is a very handy trick with the paint pot, I will be doing that next time .

Good to see your still motivated Cam ..

Thanks Pete.. I sort of love doing it this work .. just finding time is always the hardest thing. as you know too well 

Just some more cleaning up

Wow Pete that looks a bit flash ... nice
