Righto, speedway season is over, back to the van! Bare metaled the cowl and removed the vent drain   The old one is waaaaay past saving as can been seen in the middle left of next pic, the cowl is gonna need more work than I'd hoped too   Started repair on the lower A pillar too   |

Hey Gman I'm about to do the same A pillar repair to my FB Station Wagon,. 1 they are great repair panels although expensive  did you use the inner repair panel as well or just the outer? Look forward to more photos mate very interested. Regards FireKraka |

Thanks for sharing your progress, reading thru your thread shows how available good reproduction rust repair panels and sections have become from various suppliers.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers Jim

Second spring done, waiting on leaf pad rubbers and I'll assemble the rearend. Blew the dash cluster to bits for service/repair.  Has anyone got any ideas on how to "renew" the white lettering on the glass panels? |

I'm waiting on my local signwriter to comeback to me with stickers that go on the inside. I'll chase him up tomorrow and see how far away they are. Cheers n Beers Jolls |

I had my gen , oil , temp , etc, stickers made cause they are reverse stick on inside of glass so the clear glue is on front of sticker , also bought illuminus paint , little bottle like nail polish to do speedo dial ,really looks neat at night and at night it sits on shelf glowing ..

I chatted with the local sign dude - he has got the design done - just waiting in line to get on the cutter. Hopefully should have them next week. The price for one and the price for an A4 sheets worth of them was the same so I have about ten or so being made. I'll post up a pic when its done. Cheers n Beers Jolls |

Last night I raided Greg's shed and scored a mint original warning light guage, now just to find the glass for the fuel. (I'm not super keen on stickers)  In other news, I'm about to start harvesting this poor old girl for parts, If anybody wants anything yell out.  I was 40 years too late pulling it from the farm Tin worm has proper finished it but there is tonnes of good stuff. All the drive line is there and is stock, it has a RH weather shield in 8/10 condition. Also has a full set of pull handles. And clearly lots of stainless.  |

Hi Gman,
The weathershield is mighty attractive. If you don't want it for your van, I'm interested.
