Hiroshima Screama

[Stivva]

I certainly hope so, it is going in on the 17th for paint, so I will still have it for the social day event in the primer.

Just a couple of updates, the car is still going in for paint this coming week. So it will be undergoing a strip down after the meet this weekend.

I have bought a bunch of stuff from ebay to put on it when she comes out of the booth.

 

Excuse the ebay shots:

 

 

 

 

As well as these babies

And now I am hoping to get a new centre console from the states.

Just stripped the car and its ready for paint. I am so pumped! It took me a few hours by myself and even got the glass out myself!

[Riceburner]

Good job mate, I'd like to see plenty of your top notch pic posted up when it's all painted.

 

I got a very good 2nd hand centre console from eBay 12mnths ago. I bought a rough one and it was shagged so spend the extra $ on a good one, it'll compoets the interior nicely.

The old girl is at the body shop in for a bit of cosmetic surgery thats guaranteed to take years off her face!

[Bigfella]

Hey all one colour now.. nice looking forward to the top coat I bet.

 

[Stivva]

I certainly am. They have made all the repairs the body required after 35 years. Have rehung all the panels (bar the doors for now, obviously. Welded my fenders where I cut them for the flares and are obviously doing the paint. I am hoping to have it back on the weekend.

I have got my the Screama back together now, not bad for a weekends work and a few quiet drinks.

A list of things I have done while assembling the old girl follows:

 

Polished all the lights before re-installing.

Installed all the new rubber grommets and clips.

Installed the new clear side repeaters.

Repainted all the plastic trim inside the cabin.

Remounted the speaker pods in the doors and reinforced them with a few more screws.

Created a new bracket for my front number on the bumper bar.

Polished all the window trim before re-installing.

Rehung the sagging head lining.

Installed a new black ariel.

All new black screws in the (fresh black) sill panels.

 

Things I am yet to do are as follows:

Get a new centre console.

Install the front and rear windscreen (O'briens glass' job).

New wiring looms for the headlights and indicators.

 

Any other ideas from you guys would be handy as to improving the car.

Let us know how you go with O'Brien installing the front windscreen and chrome trim. I will be doing the same shortly!

[Stivva]

 

I will let you know Agno, and will post photos when it is done.

[benny]

I had obrien do the zed recently and it was fine... 1 small nick in the chrome channel but not noticeable at all!!

[tbscobraZ]

Absolutely GORGEOUS.

[Stivva]

 

 

Almost done!

[Stivva]

 

 

 

There is where the car is now, I have to change a few things (namely the front tyres) but I am really happy with the way the car is coming along.

[MaygZ]

That car looks great!!  I'm not sold on the pink wheels, but I reckon the package looks awesome.  You should be very proud of what you have achieved.  Well done.

Looks great.  Are you happy with the satin clear coat?

[Stivva]

That's mate, and yeah I am happy. I have one spot that needs to be redone (the scuttle panel) but that's easily done and the panel beater is happy to do it.
