The round plates a glued on with the same white rubbery stuff that was sprayed over the entire underbody. Blowtorch/scraper and wirebrush combination worked eventually.
I feel like cleaning this stuff off is some sort of rite of passage, everyone should do it once…. but once is enough!!!!

Heading for Alpine White eventually. Next step is to replace enough suspension to get it rolling then its off to Melbourne (800km from Canberra) for roll-cage and seam welding.


Charles.

very nice, and very tidy, should be a fine example when complete.  :mrgreen:

how much did it cost to get that done if you don't mind me asking?

and what colour you going for?

Now your talkin! that looks very impressive and the weather looks very impressive too! 8)

lol at your sealer comment - it is a real mission but well worth the effort

looks good without the shutz! get a good two pack epoxy primer on the floor pan - it'll last forever!


will be sweet in white too!

 ops: good point! helps if I read things properly!

Excellent, stunning!

I am not sure which I admire the most, a fairly rot free shell, the rotisserie, the truck or the weather.

I think the weather! 8)

When you say ground up rebuild your not kidding

Lovely project and the weather is to die for 8)

Keep us updated in damp blighty 8O

Awesome Bluerex! Looks like alot of fun indeed!
