Well done Emu, and Sarge. You guys have done an amazing job - remember back to the cowl vent and how much of a hurdle it seemed.

I thought I had added my comments already, but I can only reiterate the plaudits of others.  You guys have done an amazing job with Hilda, and I hope she brings Emu and the Emulings many years of pleasure.

cheers

in a rural car crash they are " Hold my stubby and watch this for skill!"

Well Hidla come's back into the shop today for part two of her make over. Matt's had heaps of mechanical problems. So know it's time to fix them once and for all and make Hilda a more user friendly daily driver. Wink

Harko,

Crack me up or what!! Geez I've missed that.

Hey all. I've been somewhat absent from the site with my businesses sucking most of the life out of me and my six kids finishing the job!   Sad

I was waiting to completely finish Hilda before posting a series of fotes. I have recently received my rubber mats from "Obsolete" which although excellent in quality, took forever to arrive. (Leave lots of lead time if you are planning on purchasing from Obsolete).

I don't know whether I posted my Chrome story. The summary is, I sent away a huge load of chrome to a local bloke who moved away with my stuff to set up business in Warwick and then unfortunately he passed away. A year or so later I am still trying to retrieve it.
Sarge has set up Hilda with loaner chrome and bits I have snavelled from various sources.

Update: We have obtained an HR front end and a 186 which are being prepared for my girl. Sarge is replacing the steering box, installing mats and some badges that have never been in place since the chrome drama and doing some tidying up.

I'll try to get some fotes posted to continue the never ending epic of "Hilda's Extreme Makeover"

Yours truly
Cecil B DeEmu.

I told you all what a legend Sarge is with the metal work!

I hope he can put Hilda back the way he found her when he's done.

Very good call Stinky.
That's two good belly laughs in the last few posts.

Stinky
          That Fait is a 1971 Two door coupe BMW 2002 Touring. The owner said that only 300 odd where made and thats theres only something like 4 or 5 in Austaralia.  :-/ It's not a Holden so who really cares anyway Huh. The only good part about its is the surchage we get to put on the bill for it not being a Holden Grin Grin.

I tried to post pics of the Motor before I fitted it but am having a few problem with the pics, so bear with me.
