- VS UTE, HT MONARO REBUILD
Update
Hey guys havent updated in a fair while. but not alot has happened on the monaro. well in our shed anyways.
The monaro was taken back out to blacktown to have some more metal work done, new door skins and panel beat the floor pan as the rails that the seat bolts are in were smashed in and the bolts were stuffed. so now that has happened the car is presently sitting in the paint shop and waiting for the painter to finish another job off so he can start ours.
i will try to get pics of it at the paint shop but its hard with work and that.
Anyways a few small jobs while the car is out. we got a new centre console as the other was stuffed. i had to fix a crack in the new one and put the opening in for it to fit the saginaw box.
New console, had a split through the mounting bridge; All consoles did this.
I fit a small peice of plastic over the crack and epoxy glued it in place
The old console was well and truly stuffed, but it did have the cut out flange thing for the saginaw so i poped that off.
i then drilled out the cutout and filed the edges on the new console and glued it in place.
We also rigged up mount for the shifter plate (G clamp to engine stand haha) so we could test out our linkages and shifter.
we found that the shifter that was on the car was a herse shifter and also a peice of $h!t. so we got the right shifter which works much better but now we have to reweld a mount for the shifter as the plate was modified to fit the herse shifter.
Other then that a few little bits here and there is all thats happened.
Cheers Luke
