Well it's been a while, took a little break from the forums haha
Not much has happened since last update, but I'll start from the top.
First of all, Simon finished the wheels (the day after he primed them) and refitted them to the car soon after.
Around the same time, the freshly rebuilt carby turned up, so that was refitted along with a new fuel and air filter as well. (Tank is going to be dropped to do rear quarter, so will be cleaned out at the same time...) All it needs now is a tune up and it'll be great. Simon decided against repainting the air cleaner and rocker cover as he preferred the "old" look...
Nothing happened for a while, but after Christmas, Simon bought himself some new Pioneer speakers as the old ones were stuffed.
And today dad took us to the wreckers to get some parts. We came home with a new right rear quarter (got some rust, but way less then current...) and some VL mirrors. Once we got home Simon and dad fitted the new mirrors, after redrilling some holes. They look 10x better than the original VC ones haha
Old quarter, fuel tank will be removed to do this job.
New quarter, some rust but pretty good shape
He's gonna buy some springs soon, so all the works will happen at the one time. He measured each corner height, and he and dad determined it can drop 2" and still be legal. I did a quick chop showing a rough 2" drop.
Before
After
Cheers guys
