Another day in the garage today. Engine bay was epoxied, seam sealed and painted. One run in a subtle spot which I thought was pretty good, prick of a spot to paint.

Parcel shelf and drivers side window frames bogged. I’m not trying to get them laser straight, just covering up the hundreds of screw holes I welded, the pitting and the little dings.

Onto brake lines tomorrow and then I’ll either put suspension back in or start on the roof. I’m thinking the roof might be easier while I can still roll it.
Chasing any Neiman steering lock parts, will consider anything.

Great progress mate
The fun stuff starts soon
Putting stuff back on
Thanks mate, I fitted my first NOS part today….brake line grommets , can’t wait to put some actual bling on but still got some solid work ahead of me.
Had to tweak the booster bracket to buy myself another 5mm. Super happy with clearance now, won’t even see it once the bumper is on. Made a solid start on brake lines, didn’t realise how long it would take. I hate when you see nice cars and the brake lines are all wonky and look like shit. I had a mate who used to be a fridgie help me get started, he did an awesome job on his escort so we did a labour trade, I welded on his car and he helped me out.
Booster/master will both come back out once the lines are all set up.

I’ve got the kids home next week. I might take a bit of time to finish my tinware, need to get the engine back to Champ for a break in and tune.
