I'll be doing that but taking off the trumpets and fitting them behind em. Then I might see if I can find a very light density filter/foam and sit it in the trumpets. So I get the trumpet look with the filtration

[fridgeGB]

I like that idea geezer I had a quick look again last night and found you can buy them. They call them a gauze filter that just sits over the trumpet like a cap. I'll just make some like u said tho. It will be a lot cheaper

[75glnt]

Update!

This is how she looked this arvo



Getting to be very straight now

Not long!!

[VGJONO]

looking good, must be scary seeing her like that though i would imagine

[75glnt]

Haha!! Nah not really I know she's in good hands.

It's good to see exactly what will be under the paint though fair few little dents in her some I didn't even know where there!

Fixed my withdrawal symptoms though!

[75glnt]

Oh.. Also!

I'm hoping to have a neat little update tomorrow if I get a parcel on the mail..

I'll let the suspense build first before revealing my addition

[VGJONO]

Fair enough, may have to come on one of these trips to see her, might hit up old mate about getting some paint work done myself if he is keen, sadly the GD will need TLC on the bodywork shortly

[75glnt]

Yea he would do it $1200 doors closed (you drive it there. He will do what's needed. Like removal of trim, lights, bumpers etc. prep and paint, assemble and you drive it away). Or $1600 for a full respray. All of this is him supplying the paint, materials etc. all you need is your car

[75glnt]

Patiently waiting for a package in the mail

Meanwhile! Thought it update y'all

She looks like she'll be done by next Tuesday the colour is a mix of dandelion yellow (evo 9), and devil yellow (be commodore). Looks perfect!!

Bought new ball joints and such. Also pretty sure I finished the engine off time to bolt the box back on and wait patiently

[75glnt]

PACKAGES!!!!!



For my gh struts! Also have bendix ultra premium hybrids (ceramic/titanium pads). My king springs (35mm lower) and my gas shocks (unknown as of yet). New ball joints and will give the strut housing a make over

[75glnt]

And how they look!


Just gotta rebuild the calipers and m/c. Paint the calipers red, then fit my springs and shocks. The they can go in!

[geezer101]

...oooOOOoooh, pretty.

[VGJONO]

[75glnt]

[75glnt]

She's going through the final stages!! so excited!!!

Here's a teaser for you lot







That engine bay!!


Looks like she can come home Sunday! can't wait

[A112H]

[75glnt]

Engine bay is still getting black bits yet... X member, front side of the rad support, steering/suspension bits, engine mount base. Strut top centres (the outer edge will stay yellow, just the very top will go black).

All being blocked back today, then I gotta so another inspection to make sure I'm happy with it. then she's going yellow!!! it's a mix between dandelion yellow (evo 9 MR), and devil yellow (Holden VE commodore).

[75glnt]

Just ordered my carpet from Knox

Getting them to leave everything up front (not trimmed "to fit"). Just overlock the end so I know I'll have enough (thanks for the info on that guys ).

Plush pile black

[75glnt]

Got a quote from scottsoldrubbers.com for the sort frame rubber (entire outer of the door where it closes in the door jam), bailey channel, whether strips and clips for the frame rubbers..

$580!!!

I really need to know if the gc/d rubbers for the ga/b. as I can get them cheaper somewhere else. But only gc/d

[tandanus]

This is looking great
So good to see
T.

[75glnt]

thanks mate

getting close now, should be going into the booth tomorrow

[75glnt]

Ended up delayed with the booth my fault though... Asked for more work to be done as I'm pretty picky. But that's all done now, and she should be going in on Monday

I've got yet another package today


Black plush pile with the extra left up front. With 2 rolls of under felt to go with all from Knox auto carpets. It all looks like it will be good. Though time will tell

[75glnt]

Doors are painted!

This was straight out of the gun

[VGJONO]

Cant wait to see this thing come together, going to be epic, might have to step up my game once you have it done and get some more work done on mine

[75glnt]

It will be very epic! The combination at all the new parts will make worlds collide! haha

[75glnt]

So.... Ummm...

SHE'S IN COLOUR!!!

[bruggz351]

[75glnt]

Should be able to come home in a couple days!

[VGJONO]

[75glnt]

Thought these guys can wait until I get it home

My Facebook friends would have seen it maybe? A couple shots on 70s JDM Chrome

But the rest who don't have Facebook (Merv ). Y'all have to wait
