thanks everyone for the tips as well
 

Hi All

Looking at putting sound deadener matting inside my ute's cabin - under the floor mat, doors - and the backwall.

any recommendations?

things to avoid?

TIA

Been a while since doing some serious work on Ruby - revving up for the warmer weather - fun and games removing body deadener gooop

Hi, all I've seen a few discussions about whether the frosted protection plates came out with the FE, FC, FB or the EK but couldn't find anything definite.


Did anyone find anything definite, or any more clues ?

bit of surface rust all round, but nothing too bad

after finding a hole and built up rust under a plate around the fuel tank opening when working underneath, decided to strip the paint from on top as well. It has had a black coating put over the original beige on the inside. a couple more holes, and some previous brass filling found. Will do some rust converting, some hole repairing and a repaint.

Considering the last NOS one went for $1500 on eBay, this is not so bad.

Ken

suppose this isn't so bad then - lucky me my badge came with the spare grill I bought for $50!! May have to put it in the safe though :-)

I have been using the new address. Found that size of the photos might be an issue. I have tried making a smaller pics and this seems to now work, and to also upload only one pic at a time. Previously had not had this problem as I only upload a smaller res pic to flickr before putting it on the forum.

underneath rear quarter by Helen Sheedy, on Flickr

here it is from underneath looking at the back of the wheel well.

will have to replace the grommets and hose for the wiring to the taillights that go under the car - hard as and all cracked and not sealing anything.

I had a thought that maybe I needed to reduce the size of the pics from flickr, though usually only upload a small res one in the first place. Let me do one pic but not a second. Gunna give it a go with a separate post. wish me luck

been going very slowly lately - other work keeping me away, but I make sure I get back to Ruby and do a little bit. This is where I'm up to atm, just cleaning up the very back of her underneath. This pic is from the top and you can see the mastic is no longer sealing I've already chipped away at it here. Looking at putting another rubber seal in the gap as its so big before using some new mastic.

yep, can see it no probs :-)

Wow - didn't see that one

I will have the progressive list posted on the vic site soon and get a link established.
It will be published in the June edition of the Vic newsletter.
We have some great stuff this year.
