It’s looking good by the way. 🔥🔥🔥

Yep will tape up from now on. I don’t use rattle gun at all on anything other than the wheel nuts. Always use hand tools.

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage yeah good work. Thought I saw you with a power tool tightening up bolts on the left front door. Young fellas see videos using impact drivers and think they need to use them. Battery operated ratchets are fine, but only up to snug and then tighten by hand. 👍

@Louie2309 nope

@Louie2309 👍🏻

Cheers mate, least it looks like a car again!

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage Are you going to put headlight washers on it??

No mate.

😂 good one ☝️

Of course!

Hawkforn

@BeyBroman heck yeah!👍🏻

Bendix is a good pad yes. But because I have factory spares that’s what I used.

That’s what I’m working towards. Or at worst early next year.

Concept paints unicolour 2k solid

That’s the plan! Maybe boot lid first.

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Ahhh that makes sense. I have been thinking that I need to fill the back in, then silages it on. Adding a screw would make more sense. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks mate!

Ratio was 2/1 with 10% thinners.

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage Thanks old mate

@froggy121000 You’re welcome buddy. You will enjoy the 2k. A lot easier to work with.

He is out, trying to get in. He actually really wanted his dinner.

It sure is. It getting exciting.

Thanks mate

😂

Sure is mate!

Car is almost ready looking good what a difference with the new taillights wow

@gstoj7467 thanks mate.

After sitting for a period of time the fuel drains back to the tank and the old mechanical pump has to work hard to pump it back up

Had been sitting for a while.

😂 for some reason the fuel drains back to the tank.

Glad you enjoy ☺️

​@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage wait a minute, do you do it for that long on purpose?

@@viktorhardindyrvold4234 No that’s how long it takes

It scared me to buddy.

I should have to an Aussie flag hey.

5.0L was used fora different project

Why did you hate the struts? I have kept the rod ‘just in case’.

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage I could feel the entire bonnet flexing everytime i closed it, and slowly noticed an arc forming along the bonnet, essentially was changing its shape slowly so it would sit perfect at the rear, perfect at the front, yet proud of the guards by about 3mm in the middle. It also used to sometimes just nick the strut body between the bonnet and the top rail if the guard where the bolts are, and catch slightly on the way up from latched.

@borismcfinnigan3430 something to keep an eye on then. 🍻

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage When i was researching it i saw some guys swear by grabbing VN to VR tailgate struts that, although not good enough for a later tailgate, had the perfect amount of force for an early bonnet, maybe mine were just too strong, they were just a random ebay kit.

@borismcfinnigan3430 oh that’s what I got. They did feel pretty strong as well. I will make sure I keep a good watch over them.

I don’t think so…..

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage 😎😎🤣🤣

It latched easily, but was a little harder to open. Will need some fine adjusting.

True true!

Interesting. Mine didn’t have instructions so I just put them on the way that I thought it should be.

Thanks for watching William

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage anytime

Thanks mate, yeah it’s getting really close. Just a few more things to paint and fit.

Good tip 👍🏻

Now that would be a sight!

Sure did mate, fronts are Vr and the back is the original VK seat.

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage awesome job.. Are you an upholsterer by trade? I wondered this when you did such a great job of the b pillar covers.

@ClayD76 Thanks for being so kind. No not an upholster by trade. Just something I taught myself how to do.

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage well mate.. you are a talented fella. Full credit to you for achieving so much on this build by yourself. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching you tackle all aspects. Top man👍

@ClayD76 Thanks mate. I really appreciate that.

I think I done the dash around 4 years ago. I have some early videos on that you could have a look at. Or shoot me a question and I’ll see if I can remember any info for you.

Not at the moment

If upper half is in the car, grab underneath the bottom and lift up. There is a slide on each side that locates it and it will come out, unless there are headrests, then that’s a whole different story. To refit get in the car and push back hard while also pushing downwards to get the ‘slides’ to locate in.

A lot of the time he has 2 balls in his mouth. He’s obsessed.

It certainly has 👍🏻

Thanks mate, all that hard work is starting to show the rewards.

😂 thanks mate.

Thanks buddy, it’s starting to get real exciting now.

@@TAVOTravsDIYGarage absolutely

NUCOM that’s the one. Well done mate.

Thanks buddy, I am bloody stoked with the way it’s looking!

Thank you, they are beautiful dogs.

Thanks buddy

Thanks mate 👍🏻
