Thanks guys, but unfortunately it will not be done for the nationals  Sad

Despite my best efforts, time has beaten me, so will not be going to the nats now.  At least I can concentrate on making sure everything is right and the way I want it rather than thrown together to get to Tassie.

More photo's  to come once I can get my energy back to keep going.......

Cheers, Graeme

Oh Graeme, what a bummer. So near, yet so far. I was really looking forward to checking out your car, it's looking fantastic.

I guess we'll see you at the Nat's in 2 years?

Cheers,
Graham

The flap goes up and all those little lines go to the glue side.
Have you removed cowl vent or are you trying to fit without removing.

G'day Pete, Cowl vent is out. So the side with all the little lines get glued to the vent or body?  Sorry to seem like a dumbass, but I cant seem to make sense of it....

Easier to ask than bugger it.
Glues to the body not the vent.
Check rubber drain pipes still there and not cracked.

Just a few more pics for an update.  Work is definitely interfering with getting the wagon finished.....

Lots of small fiddly jobs done, interior almost complete, new tyres fitted, new HZ rotors fitted, under dash wiring cleaned up, trial fit of the grill etc etc




At last there is light at the end of tunnel.......

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

Looking good Graeme, nice colour scheme, the vents will just slip in to place but you have to get them in exactly the right position first, and hold your can on the right angle lol.

Given where I am up to with my wagon, this will seem like a pretty stupid question.... 

Is there a difference between wagon front doors and sedan front doors?

Reason I ask is that I seem to have gaps where I thought there would be no gaps, in particular the top of the inner door frame.  At the B pillar side at the top there is a huge gap but when looking from the outside, the gaps are not too bad.

Cheers, Graeme
