Nice work Tony!

Alex - I like the way you think - whatever works is in... In my book.
I did actually stand on it initially and bounce (gently) on it. It did help a bit. But of an update - photo's don't do it justice and Narrandera Exhaust centre were bloody patient and did incredible work to get all the fiddly bends and eventual successful line up of the pipes at the front. Grinding cleaning painting and approx a dozen test fits done by your's truly. Apologies for photo's - but exhaust system is finished.

Exhaust
Should get them to do a few more now they know how... I remember having one made in the mid 70s when I worked for Hughes Auto Spares, it was an exhaust place in Brunswick who made them without any fuss as they had been doing them for years.
Yours looks truly excellent!

Thank you
Very kind words Keith...thank you.
Still working on little fiddly jobs. Thought Id better get out the headlights and check them out and clean them up, Managed to fit the original bits to the new loom wiring. I am getting some modern Halogen globes that are 6 volt and fit these pre focus type lights. I'm going to have a crack at cleaning up the reflectors. Ill see how they go with a bit of Silvo. The other bit that's been bothering me is the gap in the front spring hangers and the leaf springs themselves. I found the right size washers for each side of the leaves and went over the eye bolts, they went in like they were meant to be there.

This took a lot of goes on one light. The other came up nicely quickly.
Silvo is definitely the right product for this job.

Long overdue update.
I do sincerely apologise for not updating this thread.
I have not been idle. In fact this restoration has occupied nearly every waking moment I've had the last 10 or so weeks. Here are some pictures from the weekend.
