Hello All, Well we finally have our baby back, the new paint and interior look incredible. Hope you agree :D Back to original paint, looks so amazing -- but does show up that we need to clean up the wheels!! 20220916_121240.jpg The interior has been rebuilt keeping the 'brown on brown' 1979 aestheti...

It's been a few weeks but it's worth the wait! She's back to her original Sonic Bronze colour and looking really special. 20220710_103429.jpg No Plate.jpg 20220710_103819.jpg She's with the upholsterer where they are working on sound deadening and getting the seats ready. We chose a vinyl as close a...

More photos from the painters. Body is pretty naked now, steel work looks great though.

Last 2 weekends I've been waking our 1979 build from a 4 year sleep. New battery, oil and fuel, she started first time. Next got her a service including replacing the coolant. Since Friday she has been up on a stand getting all new bushings, shocks, springs and other suspension components. Can't wa...

I'm posting changes to our 1979 series 1, 9HB-295, also known as "Helen's Babe" (Helen is my wife) on the "what have you done to your car this week" post. One of the things this week is to choose new materials for the interior, so I thought I'd add that to this part of the forum ...

Car is at the motor trimmer this week, total interior strip down including the dash that I was unable to do. Dash is heading to a company called "the dash doctor" to be renewed.
Next step she is heading to the painter.... standby for more photos.

Hi all, it's been a few weeks since my last post about the hatch closure. With your help I identified that the mechanism was missing a spring that attaches to the hook. I tried a few from Bunnings but they did not work. I found a full replacement mechanism in Queensland -- this has what looks like a...

The '79 rides much better with the new suspension components, so this weekend was dedicated to interior strip-out before it goes to auto upholster for new (back to original colours) interior. 20220312_111729.jpg Rear compartment stripped out 20220312_111746.jpg Front section and doors stripped out (...

rbld Hey All, I stumbled across this project on You Tube owned by a pretty funny Canadian Giles Vessey. He has 7 episodes up at the moment (March 2022) and they are really interesting. Giles has more skill than I have at rebuilding the steel work -- plus since he is in the Northern Hemisphere with h...
