Looking good kitch. Akaroa would be nice. Great work.
Chris and I are hoping the 1600 will be ready too.
We might just have to bring the blue one if the orange one not ready but we're trying hard.

It's really good to have a deadline to work too. (Not so good when you have to admit defeat though)

Cheers guys
Labour weekend is in December ah?.....
Will have to see how things pan out - to be fair the list is fairly small really - although doing it carefully & properly it all takes time
Got a few things to sort like;
> Fit all new rubbers & put windows back in
> Trim & fit new carpet & vinyl to wheel archs etc
> Fit hood lining, pinchweld & the likes etc
> manufacture & fit seat rail adaptors
> make & fit drive shaft hoop
> miscellaneous wiring
> Fit out door mechanics (thankfully only 2 doors! as I hate doing this)
> fit all exterior trim/lights/badges/bumpers etc
> fit chrome trim & also the window frame dress covers
> lots of little bits & bobs!
Hope to have it panel & painted and home early July all going well

Sounds easy!
Panel and paint is the hard part. The rest is pure pleasure!

yeah, putting NOS or restored parts back on a restored shell will be fun alright! cant wait!
and its easier than trying to fit a buckled, crusty old parts... dont get your hands dirty either!
i imagine there will be a few late nights in the garage in a few weeks

mate you are a true inspiration, shame I cant seem to turn that inspiration into working on my own car.
