well finally getting round to up date again , not got to the stage i wanted to but have got a bit done. hopefully start a new job on the 18th so it will be all hands to the pump untill then to try and get as much done as possible.
the pictures ... first atempt at stone chip it ran so i had to spend the next two days flatting it back sorted primed and stone chipped rot cut out in the b pillar and repaired built a little shelter to stop the water dripping from the roof. got rubbed down round the doors :) then moved onto the bench seat and hand brake. (not fully attached in in the last photo but you get the idea :). extended my 4 spd linkage to 5 spd. last plate welded round the window. and got abit of primering done :) , hopefully will be able to make some more progress over the next 2 weeks and i promise my next up date wont be so picture heavy :) |

Cheers dude yeah it dose look pretty good I am gonna get a peice of bar, hot it up and try and do some thing similar :)
Any way had quite a busy weekend got me dad's mates big diesel compressor in so I could get on with rubbing down and what not :) Sills all stonechipped Got the body the doors the tail gate the wings light pods and bonnet all flatted back now I have to start Gping over it sorting out the little dings! Me brother is gonna give me a hand with that as he is quite good at that sort of thing :) Also got all the wiring and cables back in the engine bay along with the steering rack wish bones and brake set up on but I forgot to take a photo :) I am having troubles with the m/c upgrade though I am not sure where I am going wrong I need to put pressure on the m/c to be able to bolt it in but that will mean the brakes are always on I have taken the servo back out and it is still the same can any one help? Also managed to pick up a stainless bumper we are Going to adapt to fit..... Sneak peak.... Bracket cut down to size just need to drill it to fit, will reveal more where it gets done....... And finally.... recived my new door cards the other day look awesome cheers gggti :D look ace with me speakers! And that concludes another episode of caddy crisis, tune in next time folks! :) |

theres a spacer missing off the m/c....... whatever sits past the bolted shoulder on the top one needs to be the same on the bottom one. its like youre braking already as your compressing the m/c to make it fit!
