Yeah still chipping away. Shifted into a new place a few years ago and unfortunately it's only got a single garage which limits what I can do. That being said, I've re-built the heater core and fan unit, also had the radiator refurbished. Renos are done now and the plan is to get the engine fired th...

The top coat is Dinitrol 447. Not to sure how it will hold up but at least it looks better than the Grand Canyon that was on there previously.

Long time between drinks on this one. Still chipping away but very slowly. Completed the dash board restoration earlier in the year. I think it came out alright. https://i.imgur.com/2JGamsZ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UpBidTL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6yTHD6E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8M2bot7.jpg https://i....

I'm off to a new job closer to home meaning i have to shift the truck out of this awesome workshop. Cab and tray have been temporarily fitted back onto the chassis for transport. W...

A big thanks to Scott for sending me through a few photos of the old girl from when he owned it. Pretty cool seeing all of these photos of how she use to look. Wish it still had the canopy !! I'll be looking for a new left hand side door next year (the red one) if anyone has one in good nick floatin...

Hopefully the paint stays on there once it heats up haha. The issue I'm having is primarily with the oil pump. I align the mark on the spindle with the mark on the oil pump and every time I install it the spindle top is at a 3 o'clock / 9 o'clock position instead of the 11:26 position it should be. ...

Motor stripped down, tested and painted. Re-assembly underway. Struggling a little bit with getting the timing right but we'll get there. https://i.imgur.com/K3ikC2L.jpg https://i.imgur.com/a2YNnvB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/r7W0dHy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aKny66p.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Tj6wA3j.jpg ht...

Haha in an ideal world I would have already gone with an SR20 but I'm running low on time and $$. Rebuilding the L20 should be a good starting point for my first engine rebuild. I've got the service manuals so what could go wrong
