paulb 112 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 It's this one that I bought off eBay seller was in Brisbane free postage. I buy garnet from trade tools. Was 20 dollars a bag. Works quite well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulb 112 Report post Posted May 28, 2015 I got four days in the last round off so a little progress, door jam has been blasted andrepaired, everything inside gets the metal finish and poor 15 treatment , replaced front roof brace , fitted up rear 1/4 panel and wheel wells, fitted up tail light panel, doing some gapping with the rear valance, so much easier when the lower part isn't welded together yet.

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 I kinda forgot about this build. Dang mate, you Aussies (I'm assuming you're from down there) have no fear. Love the progress! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulb 112 Report post Posted December 27, 2015 Here's a few more, yes RPM I'm in oz, I hate redoing things like this, if i dont do it right I'll only end up pulling it apart again and redoing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaun071 62 Report post Posted December 27, 2015 I haven't been able to do anything for the last few months. Bulk overtime at work and the kids are keeping me busy. I've got the next two weeks off work so I hope to get the trunk area finished and the trans out so I can finish off the under floor area. 1 paulb reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulb 112 Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Been a while since I last posted, not enough hours in the day, had to add metal to gap the boot lid, widened the inner wheel wells so my 295's fit nicely Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash 145 Report post Posted June 10, 2016 How's the progress going, Paul? You're way ahead of me (and doing well too!) but my free time is allowing more work to happen. Re-working the centre fitted handbrake (e-brake) is going through my mind again as I'm getting closer to fitting the floor pan. How did you go with yours?

paulb 112 Report post Posted June 10, 2016 Haven't tried the hand brake yet. I have a ba one that should work and keep the original console , times been a bit limited lately , been getting the house ready for sale if we find another we like and it's got room for a large shed. Would like to be a bit further than I am but any progress is good I suppose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash 145 Report post Posted June 10, 2016 Any progress is good. That's how I look at it. You're not going backwards. This site has a habit of adding photos to posts, don't worry. At least they are car ones and not something else! I was thinking about getting a handle from a left hand drive car so that the mounting points and cable are in a better position. I've got a BA one but the more I look at it the more I think there should be something else more suitable. The late Mustang ones look too tall. And the earlier, fox body I think, are lower lower but are pretty ratty looking and dearer for some reason? I'll keep searching and see what I can come up with. Good luck with the house hunt!

paulb 112 Report post Posted June 10, 2016 Unless your going to modify an original console a side mount is the only alternative, maybe a jap car from left hand drive may work? If there is one 2 diegoZzisy and Selmadox reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 145 Report post Posted June 10, 2016 My car didn't have a console when I got it but I've picked up an incomplete one along the way. I don't think the console with fit anyway due to me fitting a TR6060 with the shifter so much further back. I'll know more certain once the floor pan is in and I can mock up the seats. I've looked at some of the euro cars and I think they may have an option with their bodies being smaller and having more compact interiors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulb 112 Report post Posted June 11, 2016 not having a console will help, looking good so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulb 112 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 Going to try and have it painted next year as we've just bought a vw oval that requires a resto as well, so need to have this one near finished before I start the vw for the better half Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are getting harder to find in resonable condition, had to bring this one from wa , needs resto, no major repairs or rust, how's yours going Shaun?

shaun071 62 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 Slowly lol. I bought some more parts and cleaned a few things but that's about it. Mrs is having a caesarean with our 3rd Bub on 9 January so I'll be busy helping out for a while. It's also high 30s here so 40+ in the shed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
