Nice job.
Not to remind you but you'll be an expert by the time you've done another three!

Yeah it is a big job, next job after this is fitting seat belts, i cant believe somebody hasn't already fitted them over the years, cant find much info on this, but i will keep looking.

Front seat belts have been fitted in mine, but no rears(which I would really love so I can take my young lads for a spin).
The fronts have a retractable belt mounted low on the b pillar, a nice big arse bolt through the top of the pillar to hold the top mount, then the end of the belt secures back to the lower retractor point.
The buckles simply bolt alongside the seats through reinforced holes in the floor. Don't know if it's done properly, but it works!
I have bought the big upper bolt for the b pillar off rare spares, i will probably follow how the Torana seat belt mounts are done and go from there, i will post it up as i go and get some feedback hopefully. Cheers

Almost as rusty as my HR. One of my best, roughest and the most fun car I've ever had was a black EH wagon. so I have a couple of EH stories. If you are thinking about period wheels, maybe a bit different, my wagon had a set of ROK Rockets. Had to find now. Cool EH.

I had a yellow EH when i was around 19 years of age, and loved it and always wanted another one, and for the price this one had a lot of good points, it is going to be a battle to get rid of all the rust, hopefully i win in the end, i will check out those wheels to see what they look like, Cheers

Dragway Splats look like this if I believe
I am fairly sure they were actually named after his daughter (married name?)
She is a full tilt revhead from memory

Things are still progressing on the floor pans very slowly, the drivers one is done, along the sill there was a quarter inch gap from the pan so i had to make up right angle section to fill the gap and it all worked well.

I'd go and try and buy a semi-rusty floor cut out of a HG (firewall to diff hump). A HK-HG is essentially the same floor as a HD-HR, which is a minimally modified EJ-EH. Just remove the seat belt attachment plates with captive nuts from the HG, dress them up by grinding the floor steel off the attachment face and weld them into the EH in the same positions. Any curves in the plates will be in the items from the HG. This will give you all your floor anchors, will still have to sort out the pillars and the rear uppers if you put sash belts in the rear. You'd still have to get an Engineer's report though for the points but if you are copying what GMH did I doubt they'd have too many issues.

Good to know, I will have a look around, might be a bit hard to find though. Cheers Mate.

I remembered to check under the floor this time before hacking with the grinder, luckily due to there being the fuel line and hand brake cable there. And it wouldn't be a proper floor pan replacement without extra rusty sections that the new section doesn't cover.
