    okay bit of an update
    been working on the front quarter panel trying to get that straight. coming up pretty well, dents coming out pretty well. im trying to get it as straight as i can with out much body filler.
    couple of pics bit hard to show the dents and what not but better then nothing.

    theres two biggish dents on the flares. a long channel kinda dent off to the right of the guard and all the fronts messed up


    both popped out like this, just need a little bit of filler to get it smooth

    how it looks at the moment
    more updates later cheers guys

    Bit of an update started bogging and sanding the front quarter. If any one has one they wanna sell let me know please.




    It looks like there's heaps of bog but it's pretty thin most dents have been knocked out then just smoothed with bog.
    Thanks guys

    Because I can't find part to rebuild the solexs back to working order or if I can it's way to over priced. And at the moment I just want it running, I don't have the time to mess around with the twin carbs untill it's all up and running and painted and so on. Plus with the new laws for P's I don't see my self being able to tell the Po-Po it's a factory option. Give me maybe a year and they will be back on.

    fixed my brakes up today grinded the edges with the dremel. they now sit flush and aren't as hacked. hopefully replace them later on. also started putting the diff back together. all fitting okay so far. should have this thing running in the next couple of weeks. also looking for a new sump if any one can help out with it. should have up some more updates pretty soon.
    cheers guys
