Well my engine is just about complete so I've been busy working on the engine bay.
The interior is finished bar the seats. (one day)
And the back end is now road worthy, though it will come off again for a better clean, cut and polish once the car is running.

Front half all painted up. I used VHT engine enamel gloss white.

Nice work mate! If you were closer I'd offer you the rotisserie if you wanted to give it a go... You could leave the interior in a brumby and it'd be fine!

Keep up the awesome work - you'll have one VERY neat brumby once it's done!

Cheers

Its comments like these that really make it worth it.
I would love to use a rotisserie but yes there is a few k's between us.

Thank you! And welcom to the forum. It's always nice to hear feedback.
The 12 volt outlet is located on the removable panel above the drivers wheel well.
There are reverse lights already there. Along with the brake lights and indicators.
Don't know of anyone using led's but I'm sure it can be done.

Cheers Can

Easy to do though.

The container of goo was about $50 I think.
And the felt was about $20 or there abouts I think.
As of tonight I can vouch for how well it works for speakers. Sadly haven't tested it for road noise. (Drive it in the shed! See other thread later tonight)
Makes the speakers sound great!

Right

New bullbar
Image

Lift kit almost installed completely
Image

Brake goodies. Drums shimmed and pads shimmed to match. And new cylinders.
New front discs and pads. Just standard and bendix general ct.
Then I lashed out and got braise lines with an extra 2-3 inches. :)
Image

Oh and painted my wheel arches with sound deadner/ stone chip.
Image
Weber is almost on. And I am very lasy updating this :(

Good stuff Cam, especially with the braided lines - You'll love them.

I hope that the extra length on the rear isn't too much. On Ruby Scoo I went with an extra 3 inches to match the lift kit, I reckon I could have gone with either 1.5 or 2 inches on the rear and been fine. Hindsight!

Will you be servicing the master cylinder too? I kind of wish I did with mine, but it's working fine - it'd just give me that piece of mind ;)

Great stuff though!

Cheers

Havnt thought about it yet. What would I do? And what about the brake booster?
I tell you what, trying to get 20 year old brake lines is hard without wrecking the hard line bolt thingy.

Either get a new brake master cylinder or have your current one re-conditioned - much like an engine's cylinder they hone it out and replace the piston for a slightly larger one, a new set of seals, a lick of paint and you're on your way!
Brumby Kid wrote:And what about the brake booster?
What about it? :P

Seriously, the mob that did your brake lines should be able to service the booster, although I'm not sure that is needed :???: Someone will know, hopefully they'll share.

This is part of the reason why some spend the time to replace these too! You can buy pipe bending and flaring kits to make new hard lines just like the factory ones. I don't have time for that and I don't think our roads create the corrosion that warrants this type of work - unless it's a show vehicle!

That sounds like hard work. I haven't damaged the nut too much. If they are dead il take them to my brake shop.
Ok so vacuum booster doesn't need anything. Could get the cylinder done. Ok.
Thanks Bennie
