Thanks, I have news...

Got the bonnet out of the shed to fix and got the flat tyre off the the front... I really should have fixed that went it went flat... Think the side walls are stuffed.... But then again I think the tyres are 20 yrs old... So should be replaced...

Little bit at a time but... Work has started again on it...

Cheers Chris

Having the wheel off means I can take a good picture of the front brakes, XF discs and RX7 series 4 calipers.

They'd have to take a wheel off to notice. Not too many places would do that in newsouth!
Looks pretty sound, and a fair improvement on what is required.

I um'd and R'd over getting blanks drilled... Just wanted to get the setup all done before I went to that expense...

Wheel fixed so should be able to pull it out of the shed this weekend... About time it's been a while... Looking a bit dusty at the moment... Binet goes tomorrow to the boys at Delta to get sorted.
Slowly working on the exhaust down pipe...

Looks great

Hopefully see you for Jap Day in March?

Dave mentioned that the Bellett's may get the centre spot the more the merrier.

Hi,

Slowly but surely the exhaust is happening... :-) AAA Exhausts have been awesome in helping out with tacking the bends as I bring them in. Here are a couple of pictures so far.... Still a bit to go though.

VERY nice work. Not a lot of space under a Bellett for bigger pipes, mufflers etc.

Hello Chris.
Knowing which ones you need is a bit difficult. I have some here of various types. PR90 is early GT single headlight. PR91 is single as well until '68 1/2 where they changed to strip taillights and twin headlight. Sedans changed with grille changes. If you post a pic of the grille and light surrounds you intend using that will help identify the ones you want.
I'll help if possible.
Cheers, Matt.

The ones you have are early (teardrop taillight) PR20 sedan. The location of the surround mounts is obvious.
You need the late PR20 mounts that have the surround mounts between the lights themselves.

Hi, here is a pic of the original grill I want to use, just would like to st least try to get a set of the headlight mounts, really wish I’d looked but 20 yrs ago when I took the thing off... I really didn’t think... twin lights... twin lights... should be the same...
