thanks :)

Still not primed, but its pretty much there.

When its painted theres still alot to do on it... starting with;

- de-loom engine bay unless i wait till i drop motor
- re-wireing few things plus new wires for few things added
- new flex pipe to replace my damaged one
- lot of interior stuff
- fit my land cruiser brake master cylinder
- fit front strut brace, possably making custom rear one
- pulling off sump to get few bits welded on it, plus spray and re-seal
- re-do oil filter lines and oil cooler setup
- alot of detailing inc starting under the car
- fit engine lid 10" fan plus new IC shround and new 9" fan
- fit new ball joints and tie rod ends, wheel bearings ect

- buy clutch and flywheel, then fit my new gearbox!

- buy wheels and tyres!


When i have money to rebuild my motor, ill drop the motor and then spray the engine bay! And build the motor up, only stock/mild but all new pumps, seals, HG, belts, hoses ect, few stronger bits but only mild build

Yeah hes already cut and fixed the bar so it fits now, and i was down there yesterday and the fuel filler lid is on! opens out and it operates from the pull cord from inside! witch it quite rare on a widebody, as anyone thats attempted it knows that it seems easy until you try.

no recent pics apprt from the one few posts ago

dont get to excited, looks like theres a few issues with the fibreglass and paint when baking, so might need another $2,000 to fix and more time! so there goes my wheel money i was saving up for ages and ages, so even if i get car back i can't afford wheels (sold others also) let alont tyres, let alone clutch and flywheel so i can fit my new gearbox

Where are you located? Im about to get a bunch of work done on my car, shes getting an overhaul. Was thinking Queen St. Customs or Custom Body Works. Dunno if you know them, I just want to get the skirts flushed with the vent pieces, and the border addons flushed to that. Dunno if that will cost much, but i need lid, boot, rear bar, front and skirts all painted [:u]

Hey Brendan,

If you need a refund on a box man to help cover your paint issues let me know man. Its still at my place so it wouldn't be a complicated situation :D

Would have to give me a couple of weeks or so to sort out funds though, got bond to pay before I get my old bond back, so im pretty strapped for cash for a bit. I don't think I'd have too many issues selling the box on anyway.

If the moneys required mate, let me know!

Cheers,

James.
