This is an amazing restoration. I looked back at the pictures and this is a tremendous result.

Excellent pic Nathan showing the difference between the 14" and 15" rims, you wouldn't think a lousy inch would do much at all but the look is so different and so much better, goota pull the finger out and buy a set of those

things. Looking very good indeed.

well done.

Thank guys. Dad dropped a lot of cash on this one. Mt, tj and wgb have all played their part in helping get this rust bucket back to former glory. That and a ll the communities help. The org is certainly a Great place to find help.
Ken, I'd ge a set of those 15s from the classic centre before too late!

Huh..... guys, I think its too late for the 15 inch bundts... Tom Hanson told me they only had 6 left and I purchased 5 for the 6.3 we are restoring.... sorry....

Please if someone finds out different let me know, we may need some more in the near future.

Tks,

Joe

That's a bugger about the 15" rims being NLA new, they do come up on ebay.de every now and then but German sellers seem very reluctant to ship to Oz in my experience, especially for such bulky items I would think.

Hi guys,
thought id finally finish off a video for youtube of the start to finish 6.9 project.  its mainly a compilation of previously posted pics.  lots of them to see (~5mins!), but will likely make TJ feel better about his rust issues.  No audio as windows movie maker couldnt cope!
regards
nathan

For me the paint job itself is inspirational and something I dream of having the skills to be able to replicate one day  8)

Holy crap!  You kinda forget about some people's projects when you haven't heard about them for a while.  I'm blown away Nathan.

Shame about audio.  You couldv'e used youtube audioswap to play Dreamscape.  I haven't heard that song enough ::)  ;D

Regarding youtube,

I find it irritating how many people add totally irrelevant or incompatible music as a sound track to their clips that simply detract from the viewing experience. Most of the time I mute the clips made by such idiots  8)
