My eyes are falling out of my head
I can't remember what my family looks like
Sirens go off in shops when I present my credit card
The chrome plater has put me on his Christmas card list
HOWEVER...
The last bits and pieces were painted on the weekend, the interior is nearing completion, almost all the stainless steel is fitted, the trimmer is ready to put in the headlining, the resleeved hydraulics are ready for collection...
and the car trailer is booked for Easter!

You can do it Ed, we're all backing you. You've got about 214 hours until the NSW Club Convoy departs Sydney. Heaps of time  |

The interior of the car was generally in excellent condition when I purchased it. The door trims required a clean, and some regluing, and are currently being pressed flat under a mountain of tyres.  Before and after:  |

Looks great Edward.  Everyone should take note of the product on the left, SHIFT IT. I have been using this product for a while after it being recommended to me by a mechanic friend. Reasonably cheap, but it really does work, as Edward's example shows. Craig. |

best aplication for shift it is window tint gum removal, it works as strong as solvents but without oily residues or strong lasting odours and about 90% of tinters use it.
I dont know whats in the the Autoglym bottle but usually anything Autoglym works.
if you buy from a detailing supplier here is the following to ask for-
Opal - Rip Off
Tony's Automotive products- Rip it off
Omikron -rite off, or ripper(for heavy soil) or OC 120 (lite easy on your vynil)
Autosmart - G101 (like ripper, rip it of or rip off)
gee Ed your almost finnished.
If all goes well now I will hopefully get my paint on next Thursday and assemble it through the night. I guess it would be fidly sticking all those fresh peices of car together with out chipping and scratching.

Leon,
Certainly in comparison to your project, I feel "almost finished", however in the whole scheme of things, still a way off.

I was fortunate enough to come across a set of NOS door rubbers for the front doors. They have several different profiles around the opening and don't bulge like the repro ones.    |

The floor has been lined with a similar product the factory used - a thick bitumen type board. This product is self adhesive, however a heat gun is used to promote adhesion and assist in shaping the product to the contours of the floor.  Almost ready for the floor mats  |

Both types came from Autolac at Artarmon. (Auto paint supplies shop)
The thick sheets on the floor are in 600x900mm sheets, and the thinner anti-drum sheets for inside the doors are 200mmx600mm. (Not installed in the photo) Both are self adhesive.
I later spotted the big sheets at Clarks Rubber at Haberfield, however they were a bit worse for wear, this product needs to be stored flat - roll it up and it cracks/tears.
They come with a mid blue coloured backing of woven plastic which is about 100mm bigger all round, that gets peeled off when sticking the stuff down.
I spent a fair bit of time making templates to ensure a neat fit.

Ed,
Great to see things are coming along nicely.I have just fitted my front floor mat and wondered if heating that would make it sit a bit neater.What do you think?
Cheers,
Graham

Graham,
Not sure about the heat, but maybe some weighted objects (bricks/timber) etc for a few days?
Regards
Edward
