I've managed to get all of the vinyl glued down around the tops of the door/arm rest thingys.. its the first time I have done anything like that - and theres a couple of things that im not real happy with.. so one day I will do them again but as for now they are still ok :)

I have also started on the roof lining.. damn thats a tricky job!! Coming along ok I think though.. very few wrinckles which is the main thing I suppose!!

Bugga me, best do a little update I think!!

I have put a new set of HD SLR5000 king springs under the old girl.. heaps better to ride in now!!

So I had to test them out properly.. so off to Symons Plains for some cruising around the track!!

Posted Image

Inside the drivers side pillar was a yucky little run (that was caused by a slight reaction). It got the better of me, so I sanded it back and sprayed it again, came up alot better :)
Posted Image

I have pretty much finished with the inside of the boot now.. managed to get an original spare wheel retainer, jack etc.. just waiting on some decals to finish it all off
Posted Image


And for the interior.. I picked up a set of original A9X door trims. They need some work, but there heaps better than the poofy things that I was running with!!

And finally I am also in the process of getting a new 383 stroker built.. which is going to be a "sleeper" motor... looking totally original (or closer enough to) from the outsie, but have plenty of berries on the inside!! Here's the process so far..
