Hi all

Been a long time since I have posted.
The tourer has been undergoing a slight birthday. Stripped back to chassis painted and built back up.
I have just completed the body and doors. 2 tone cream and brown, like it was. While I had the dash out I was able to fill all un wanted holes. now it looks so much cleaner. Better still, I went to a local swap meet and I was able to pick up a reconditioned head light switch. Could not believe it. The car has been missing this for ages.
Hoping to have the car back on the road by end of February. To enjoy whats left of our summer (AUS). Then come winter the task of engine rebuild will commence.

Still got a few problems I need to fix before even road worthy. Steering drag link has worn very thin. So is going to need rebuilding. not sure how to tackle that yet.
Tailshaft. one fitted at the moment is not the greatest. looks like a back yard farm yard job.

Does anyone know of anyone who sells repo bonnet latches and rubbers for taillight brackets.

Ill post some pics, but first need to upload to computer.

Thanks guys. This is the first time i have ever high filled, guide coat and sprayed acrylic paint.  Its all been self taught along the way.

You could say the painting was the easy bit. cutting and polishing is an absolute pain. Again first time. Learned the not what to do and rubbed through the paint in 2 spots (s*#t). Hopefully i can fix them and blend it with out it being noticeable.

The color looks great!
Hood latches are hard to find. I do not know of anyone who remakes them.
I do not think the taillights had rubbers.  I cut gaskets for mine.
