Thanks, can’t tell you how long it took to settle on it, but am happy with it

Im thinking of changing mufflers to glass packed ones, resonators will help but not that much, I found it helped more with drone and bark rather than quitening the note, mine has euro4 cats on it as well, thinking of putting spirals in there to start and see what it sounds like

Yep, 20” at the rear, With flow master 44 Mufflers, twin 3” ,little on the loud side thou

Little modification to the reverse lights, fitted vintage reverse/turn led inserts, turned out well

Started to put her together, things that should be simple turn into a major job. Patience and breathing8-)

Hi all, has anyone fitted rear retractable seatbelts to a 69/70 fastback? If so what belts and brackets and where are the retractors mounted? Thanks

She came home today, Tucked away safe, now for the assembly process

Flow coating finished, just blackout on the bonnet to go, then she comes home

Not sure, no markings on it and the guy I got it off couldn’t remember, only needed a little tweaking thou

He was a little nervous when he first started but he nailed it

A few more from yesterday, now it’ll sit for a week before rub back and flow coating

Here’s a few more progress pictures from Wednesday, it’s moving along quicker than expected. Meanwhile I’ve been sourcing bits and pieces to put it back together, amazing how many parts and how quickly it adds up.

A few progress pics

Thanks , thought they may have been, thought I’d ask before cutting off

Hi all, roof skin has been replaced, but it’s been a long time, I’ve forgotten if these tabs are relevant, There’s one on each side,or do I just cut them out? I’m thinking they may be for the skin to be positioned in the dies? cheers paul

Thanks it Felt really good having it finally out, can now see the light at the end

Time for an update, panels lined and gaps Rechecked, mounted bonnet scoop, rear balance panel gapped and fitted, exhaust finished , just have tips to do, finally it’s at the paint shop, first time it’s been out of the garage in 11 years, had a bit of separation anxiety 8-) IMG_5151.MOV IMG_5137.MOV

They grow up quick

Welcome back Shaun, was wondering where you got to

Hi Mal, it’s an RRS rack and struts

A little progress, front half of the 3” exhaust done, had to modify the crossmember so it could tuck up as high as possible, fitted front panels and made some more adjustments , rear brakes and h-brake cables fitted, started modifying the cowl panel for the r/h drive wipers, new bonnet needed some work as well

A little update, engine wiring 99%done, fuel tank mounted, battery cradle modified and fitted, fan shroud made and fitted, air intake modified and fitted, just have some bonnet clearance issues to sort, first engine startup IMG_4958.MOV

Thanks mate, we’re lucky the fire behind us a few months ago has been put out I think, unfortunately it claimed binna burra lodge( Gold Coast ). These photos are from a friend of mine on the Nsw south coast near Bega on Saturday

Hi, booster and master are out of a late 80’s Aussie Falcon, both have been modified to sit that way

That’s turned out really good
