Holy **** an update!

This car has actually become my daily driver, at least for the short-term and is much overdue for a bit of TLC.

First things first, this needs to come out.

Little oil leak I need to find the source of.

Bought another one of these. The current one is a bit noisy and makes weird turkey noises in 5th and 6th.

Dropped this out. Need to fix up some rust, put some new bushes in and some new paint.

Also need to fix up this colour match disaster from years ago...

And, while I'm at it, a dash upgrade from WH2 to WK. Worth the effort involved.

Will be changing the whole system across to WK, which requires the full body loom being changed, and the cooling system to keep it all neat.

Couple of plastic brackets required to put the WK radiator/aircon into the WH2 body.

Old dash removed.

New dash in.

Quick coat of paint in the engine bay. $25 rattle can to the rescue.

Now the hard part. 2 fuse panels, both of which are bigger than the hole in the firewall. Options are cut the firewall, or de-pin this panel. Time consuming task chosen...

Fresh coat of paint for the k-frame. New Superpro swaybar bushes also and back in.
