Hey Matt,

Looking good man... I must say i like your personal touches of aftermarket accesories to make it "Your" ride...

Keep it fresh and keep those pics comming... Cant wait to c how dressed up that motor of yours is gonna be!!!

[Matt]

thanks alot guys. finding time in this silly season isnt easy-between work, keeping the missus happy and the lust to quench this
terrible 'thirst'-there just doesnt seem to be enough time.

the motor is gonna have to wait, ive run into a bit of a problem with the doors! the door rubbers need replacing(dnt kno why i didnt see that earlier),
the window channeling is f@#ked and the chrome beading with the scraper rubber is also poked. the problem is none of the suppliers
are able to get anything till the new year. but ill carry on with what i can.

hope im finished in time for the run. if not-ill drive it as it is

[Matt]

ok, so heres what the front end is looking like....i havent put the bonnet handle on coz i lost one of the rubbers
that go between the handle and the bonnet itself.
the holes for mounting the runner boards are closed with paint-need to get a set of taps to open the threads...hopefully today

Hmmm kinda looks good without the handle huh. Haha. Hmm solenoid boot.*bugspray thinks it through. Dude with the nu paint, you def gonna have to throw away those fugly T BARS... I'll do you the favour of taking em away for you. lol. Why do'nt you ditch the blue l.e.ds for white ones? And go clear on your indicators? The bugs coming good mate.

[Matt]

thankfully every1 has a different taste--thats what is suppose to make your car YOURS.
HOPEFULLY ill get the t-bars made today, if my mates not too busy-his welding is lot better than mine(hes a coded welder)

im goin down now to get started on the runner boards. im sure ill have more pics up later

[Matt]

not much longer now...looks like i might be ready for the run

[2BugMe]

Freeeeeeken Sweet Ride Mattster!!!!

Im soooo jealous Dude

I hope i can c this cab soon soon...Just PM me and i will make a plan to come c u!!

[ZeroAxe]

That looks realy neat! Good job.

So..... how many hours are invested in this then?

[Matt]

quite a few hours have been spent-no doubt! but shes far from perfect, im gonna have to put a few more hours in with polishing
to get the paint job fixed.
all-in-al im enjoying putting all the stuff back, coz im making sure everything else is as tip-top as i can get.
windows/doors are still holding me back!?!

Hey Mattster,

Where do one mount the pick up for the Rev counter??

And where u buy those peddals dude?? The awesome...

So when the SnS Show??

Shot

btw: Hours well spend man

[ZeroAxe]

IIRC, the pickup for the rev counter is mounted on the coil (+) ?

[Matt]

there's 4 wires: red=positive(when ignition is switched on
black=negative(ground)
white=for the background light(connected to the dash light fuse)
green=is the pick-up(its connected to the negative on the coil-i have electronic ignition, and thats also a green wire--coincincedently)

all accessories are from autostyle, except the rev counter. the whole set is napier racing; pedals,gear knob and window winders.

sns show??? i dont have a clue. does any1 know if its coming up soon???

[2BugMe]

Sorry Matt,

It was Bugspray's (Buggard thread) comment. Apparently they had just a Sound Off in Newcastle...

[Matt]

hopefully next weekend ill get the sound in
