Nice looking wiper setup. Which model Commodores and Falcons have that motor? What switch are you using? Thanks for sharing. Regards Alex
Hi Alex, BA Falcon, Territory and some commodores. I have a VS one, but it has a larger sized cylinder, the smaller ones are better. I'm using the same switch as the commodore conversion thread on this forum.

Grabbing an hour after work, making use of daylight savings to get out on the back lawn and do some stripping. Driver's guard, not the original from the car, which was cactus. Nice to see the main rust areas have been previously repaired with Rare Spares panels. Just a few small spots to fix.

The final part of a big weekend. After 2 years of welding, grinding and stripping, finally got the shell into epoxy primer. I'm using Rustbuster Custom Epoxy 421, goes on great, easy to sand, 80 year rust guarantee. We started the filler work. As you can imagine, after 60 years, this old paddock racer had it's share of dings and flat spots. The roof was surprisingly good, with only a few low spots. The rear quarters were a mess thanks to makeshift tubs done with a big hammer. They have come up nice and straight for now, once doors are stripped and mounted, we will finalise the quarters properly. These pics are after application of Evercoat Black Gold filler and a swipe with a Melomotive spline. They are not yet sanded. For anyone contemplating doing their own bodywork, I cannot recommend the use of splines highly enough, they will reduce the amount of filler you use and the time required for sanding. Grey looks so much cleaner than black.
