Long overdue for an update....

Body and all panels prepped ready for paint, car starts, drives (really well) and stops, lights, indicators, hazards, wipers, heater and stereo all working. 




Now back to the garage to continue sorting out all the bits and pieces that came off the wagon and cleaning them, polishing them, making sure I have all the nuts, bolts and screws, chasing up what is missing, etc etc etc

Going to tight for the nats, but JOX515 will be there....

Cheers, Graeme

The little time consuming fiddly things...

Are they rally wheels or Volvo wheels? I'm guessing rally wheels because of the centre caps? They look cool regardless.

Cheers,

Josh.

Very time consuming little things  Smiley

The wheels are 15 x 7 Chev rally wheels with the corvette caps.

Thanks for the kind words Pedro, I have my bad days still but overall feeling ok.  Looking forward to getting the wagon on the road.....

I love your wagon and if mine comes up half as nice as yours I will be very very happy.  Will get some more pics up soon.

Cheers, Graeme

There is nothing like a deadline to concentrate the  mind.  Good luck - I'll be looking over your car in Hobart in one month's time.

Only the bonnet to collect from the painters.....






Might have a door rubber nite tonite - fit and glue the inners and trial fit the outers, wax pencil marks to line up to, then glue bit by bit.

And might do bling on the rear quarters.  Still looking for 2 Station Sedan badges

G'day Jim,

Am running a commodore column, so everything bar wipers is on the column.  Wipers have their own switch just to the right of the instrument panel.  After the nats, I will be putting in another column with everything on it, including wipers and cruise control.

Cheers, Graeme
