Hilda's Extreme Makeover

[Emu]

How about that cowl vent that Kiwi was hoping was gunna slow us up.

Progress shot.

[Emu]

How about that A pillar. Got ya hopes on that eh Kiwi?

Well ya discounted the Sarge! Here is some of the Sarge's fabrication skills. This is the doohickie that connects to the thingummee. How about them apples Kiwi?

Help me out Sarge. What did ya make this for?

[Emu]

The other side of that thing.

What is it Sarge?

[Emu]

[Emu]

Tailgate.

[Sarge]

Emu
     It's the front part of the inside sill where the sub frame & the bottom of the guard bolts on. Same as the left side one thats in the vice. The bendy bits that goes at the bottom of the "A" pillars are made & laying under the car. Tomorrow we cut out the old then weld in these bits & bobs, then weld on those nice new outer sill section you got & then its up to KEV to work his magic. Once Hilda's painted bolt her back together, & let's go curzin.

Regards
Sarge

Wooooo hooooo!

Eat that you small, rotund foreign bird!

Thats what I'm talkin' bout!

All done for 642 cups of coffee and 53 cases of Crownies.  ;D

[Emu]

Might just rub it in with a shot of the tail section covered in colour and looking pristine.

You da man Sarge!



That metal lip along the back has been completely re-done by the above mentioned former military man and he managed to keep the little recess line that runs along the back. Enuff said.

I only have one thing to say.

GIVE IT UP!!!

COME ON AUSSIE COME ON COME ON
 Â           
 Â           Next you'll be blaming the sheep for getting in the way. ;)

Man thats awesome stuff , Its so so good just watching

[Emu]

I thought I might add my own pics to contribute to the disappointment of our Kiwi.

Here's a close up of Sarge's A Pillar work.

Just about ready for Kev the body n paint man to perform his final magic.

Emu, Sarge & Kev

Old hilda will live to be atleast 100 the way you guys are going at it.
Who knows she may even get a letter from the Queen. LOL

Great Job guys keep it going.

Cheers Jim

PS. EMU one of Sarge's club stickers would look great on the back window when she is all done and dusted.

[Emu]

Here's one os sarge's chassis rail and inner sill work. This shot is sort of behind the A Pillar section as seen in the last photo.

[Emu]

Yes Jim,

I can't wait to see the final sticker result.

I hope you're right about Hilda lasting a hundred years coz that's when I'm scheduled to make the last payment on the loan to pay for all this!!!
