The Pressure is onWith only 2 weeks and 6 days left before this car is headed to Perth for the Nationals, it must be reassembled in record time.
Yesterday the carpet and headlining were fitted
Luke taped up and painted the blackouts on the body -
He also painted the bootlid -
and prepared the bonnet for blackouts -
Jeremy has been working on the dash. The bezels which surround the switches were not looking good with the chrome around the edges peeling. We cannot buy new bezels at short notice so he taped them up and painted them with chrome paint -
The car is now on the hoist again so that Ron and Brad can fit the engine, gearbox and tailshaft today.
Tomorrow the window man will be here to fit the front and rear screens.
In other happenings, we bought another project. It is a 73 Q Code Mach 1. This car has been in SA for quite a few years and is RHD. Bonus for us is that it is already registered.
Put some petrol and a good battery in it yesterday, turned the key and it started straight away. Needs a full resto -
The Patrol is almost ready. Had glass tint fitted on the weekend. It is going to Nissan for a service and Tune today, then it will receive an Autopian Polish over the next few days.
