slowly putting it back together, heater is in, most of the dash is in, spent a few hours mixing and matching the 2 gauge clusters so i could have the clock and temp gauge, while keeping the idiot light for the temp as well, ill just have to run an extra wire for the sender, starting to get there.

Cheers Grant,

rubber kit turned up the other day, so that will give me a few more things to do, hood-lining is ordered so once that turns up ill be able to put front and rear windscreen in.

inner guard's are undercoated so ill put colour on them, then put them in so i can finish the wiring, than it might be drivable aha

got the rubber kit so ive put door glass in, they go up and down aha, all electrics work, well after about 4 hours they do, motor runs like a charm after a quick turn of the dizzy, starts first hit, no choke or pumping it, just waiting for hood-lining still.

grill turned up great, primed with plastic primer than painted with silver/grey wheel paint, bumper bar came up with some wheel cleaner.

still just slowly putting things back on it

quick video of it running, all i did was walk up to it put terminal on and hit the key, didn't warm it up for the video Sorry about my redneck voice, was annoying dad with it ahaha

Hood lining before the front and rear windows go in is good, as the lining goes into the window frames hey. Dave I

hoodlining and rear window is in , hooked the handbrake up so i had some chance of stopping it, fuel tank is hooked up and has fuel in it .

drove it around the concrete, just couldnt help myself and gave it a squirt with a quick single spinner, handbrake needs adjusting, as mums push mower go a few adjustments to the handle hahaha,

If you can get an electric seal for the windscreen use that.

Much easier to change when you need a new screen.

stuff i got is sikatack drive, got it from obriens.

well, i cut the screen out of the spare ute with no problems, cleaned it so its ready to go in, go to move it out of the road to put the ute in and the F$^%%&%ING thing cracks straight down the middle, there goes a perfect windscreen down the drain.

atleast i kinda controlled myself and didnt take all the anger out on the ute when i drove it back in ahahah
