How those pics going...

ah-ha indeed. Holidays have come, and so therefore will the updates. I got into the holiday mood today by poping down to homie hardware to pick up some bog s/paper and primer. and naturally I've already started by boggin up the ding in the tailgate and primer'd that all of an hour ago. And no there aren't any fotos, for now at least. *mental note to charge the camera batteries tonite*

Today was a bad day to start boggin for the first time, as the high temps (around 30 degs) meant that the bog would set in about 10-15 mins and stop being plyable after about 3. Never the less good fun, and I think it came out well. Also did a small patch on the lower section of my R/h front gaurd.

Tomorrow and the next few days I'll start fixing up so other small dings here the and what not; attack the rust on mah door and sill

.. hopefully on surface on the sill. door may be worse; have a proper crack at fixing my throtle cable issues for my new webber

(props to stu for that).

Also the slight problem of having no exhaust or airfilter means that I can't tune the carb properly (not that I could if I had these but I'd try) It does sound awesum with out the exhaust though, even if it's a tad loud.

Will also look at getting some cutting compound or a T-cut onto mah paint to get all the old dead paint off. Will also need to get the bonnet off to attack all the rust underneath, and get it looking clean. Will I need a special heat proof paint under the bonnet? I think I will, but I'm not sure.

That's basically where I'm at for the moment. Pics will come tommoro or wednesday. Hope you can hold on that long.

and It won't be ready for DOVW unless I get an exhaust by then. Then I may be able to, just maybe. Actually with less than 1 week, it's just not going to happen I thinks.

my lovely interior/centre console note suede shift gater and tartan insert

My first boggin attempt, already smoothed and primered.

as she's lookin atm

Sorry everyone. I did remove the sunvisor. Makes the car look sooOOOO much better tho IMO, and I was worried that it was going to start rusting my rainsills.

Thats it for now. Was going to start on the door today, but not in this weather.
