Got the boot plinth on,


boot latch adjusted and rear bumper on. The plinth and those studs....ugh. Had to grind a few stripped ones out and re-weld bolts in.

Pinstripes on. Thanks to Brad here at https://linehousegraphics.com.au
He measured up a mates car and duplicated them and put them on. Great to see a pinstripe / decal expert at work. Great bloke.

Chris,

I'd politely suggest you start a new thread on your issue, rather than hijacking Lachy's thread.

If you do that, I'll write back with some info and bleeding procedures.

Cheers

Paul

Beautiful work Sir. I'm not sure how I've overlooked this thread. I'll guarantee I won't miss it again. Looking forward to the finished project.

Very nice. I like the body kit. Yes it is fun actually putting things back together. I am keeping mine as it came from the factory so the rubber bumpers remain. Bloody rubber. Not to much you can do with it to make it look super nice. Unless someone knows something I don't. Also it is a bit wavy but as I keep saying, it's 1988 so that's how it is.

Got the back seat in and front almost all sorted. Waiting for some new plastic headlight adjuster clips from UK to arrive. Mine were brittle and basically as snapped. The metal carriers are fine.
