Fuel pump bracket made



Fitted and hidden out of sight behind the Shock and between the tank



Fuel line from tank



Regular mounted, plumbed to carby with 1/8 fitting for gauge



Coil mounted and leads done



Battery cable ran



Through the wheel arch



Out and into the battery box



Battery boxes mounted





Roof lining fitted



Rear doors done, I ended up painting the ash tray seduce lol



New door handle gaskets finally turned up from the states



Then....

Tried to fit the radiator. Must be a difference between the 6cyl front aprons compared to the V8s. Tried to fit the V8 radiator to find it was wayyy off from fitting.

Almost ready to slam the shed shut and come back after my wedding I bit the bullet and got the grinder out and decided to make my alloy Falcon one fit.

Came up alright, had to cut the support brackets out but I welded some bracing back in on the inside.



Upside, it will stay cool as with this rad, as before hammering through soft sand it use to creep up quite easy.

Anyway, got my dash back. I welded it all up and my panel beater glassed and smoothed it. Turned out well..

Before



After!







Only bad thing, he left the jeep cherokee sticker there :scratch: he offered to repaint it but time is running low, so I stuck an autometer sticker over it

Grill is back now too all repainted



Seats, carpet and shifter fitted



Dash fitted
