here are the doors, i cleaned them up and polished them before putting them back on the car

the engine, without air cleaner or exhaust heat shield, the first time we started it in around 1 month. started first turn. which it had never done since i had owned the car. the cause was the distributor. i also replaces the thermostat which helps with the engine temperature.

the interior, you can see the seat in the corner of the picture, it has been re covered, im still waiting fo the rest to come back. note the fire extinguisher, i mounted it there because its the easiest spot to get to in the event of an emergency.

this is the car as it stands, you might be asking, who did the paint job, or how much? well there was no paint job. this pupy is strictly cut and polish. u didnt use a maching because i didnt want to cut away too much, so this was all by hand, around 5 days worth in total.

here you can see the before and after, its pretty good transformation. im glad it came out as well as it did, because it was alot of work to get it to this level.

That's pretty cool, bought one a while back for $50, actually the guy told me I could have it, then I just bought him a carton of beer... It's still on Grootte Island, and I'm paying $800 to get it to Darwin, then I'm popping a 13B rotary in there... Buy yours looks pretty damn nice. Good job.
