Mate your doing a great job on the car. Can you let me know what I need to do an LX conversion of the headlights. Gotta need more than just headlights and surrounds shorely?


Not much just the headights buckets and surrounds, and maybe new plugs if you go for the H4 style bulbs.

Why is my car not coming together this fast? Are you secretly filming an epidode of Overhaulin or something???

lol remember Brad I think you are working alone and it seems our friend is not, besides who can afford to put a car together with a forklift :)

Although it may seem that there are many working with me on the build, it’s not actually true. All of the guys bar the forklift driver you seen in the video are just passing friends in for a chinwag.

I have done most of the build myself just needing help with the difficult parts like heavy lifting or fork lift operator. The truth of it is I’m putting in the hard yards and late nights just to get it done. I spent lots of time in the early part making subassemblies and planning , this way it would go together quick just like it has .

As for the forklift I guess I’m just lucky :)

So Im not sure if everyone has the same problem ,But my handbrake cable keeps jumping off from under the dash once you release it , So I've thought of a quick fix for those that have the same problem.It's a bit of tube about 25mm dia , just hook the cable back on and slide it over , pronlem fixed.

New handbrake cables.

I am putting VN Rear Disc Brakes on a 9" in my Hatch Project and was going to "Cut and Shut" a VN Hand Brake Cable but your Cables look like they are the go! - who made them?
Also make sure you swap the the Calipers left to right and right to left as the Bleeders need to go to the top.

Yes but you see My74LH wants it for some character... You seem persistent to turn your wagon into a Grandaddy Cruiser... ;)
