Getting club plates

It has always been my intention to apply for club rego
Now that I can drive the car I have had the front end aligned
and have a permit to drive an unregistered vehicle so I can
take it down to get a brake safety test and an exhaust test
These are all I need to apply for club plates. Then its off to
the ASRF rep in Victoria for an inspection and hopefully
the new plates.
Took the car out for a test drive today to make sure
it was all ok and to take some video (thanks to my son)
Every thing went well so tomorrow its the brake test
Fingers crossed.......

Tune up & New Paint Job

Took the car to a friend for a tune up, had to get
the distributor recurved, and a new coil.
So I decided to leave the car their.
We started discussing the paint job
He made me an offer to do it that
I couldn't refuse.
So here it is finished

Now the paint job

After a couple of attempts the demisters are now working
I'm using a 12 volt electric heater and plastic tubing
to connect to the ducts.
It's hard to believe all the conversion is finished.
Now it's just the painting.
I'm going to paint it flat black all over like the front
guards and bonnet

The Demisters

Its been two weeks now since I replaced the chrome oil pan
on the transmission and not a drop of oil underneath, so
thank goodness that's done I hate oily patches on the floor

The next thing on the list is demister vents (cant get rego
without them) so after much indecision on what type to use
I decided to make them myself. I cut them out of a
piece of aluminium and My Son-in-law machined the slot
down the middle, I think they look pretty good.

finishing touches

Picked up a set of wheel centres and some chrome nuts
this week, sets the wheels off nicely. So the car is pretty much
finished now just one annoying oil leak to fix,
I'm going to replace the chrome transmission pan
with a cast aluminium one that should do it.
Then its ready for the road
