dontcha jus love the ever expanding list of things to do when u tryin 2 get a car back on the road? i keep thinking that i is close and then find two more things to do... final checklist is (@ the moment) is anti corrosive paint interior footwells and welds underneath, seal weld seams on front footwells, rust proof doors, and in side panels, under dash, underseal front footwells and in trans tunnel and passenger side wheel arches, (rest allready done) check for leaks with garden hose before installing dash, install centre console, install seatbelts,(new from Repco @ $130ea!!) install door rubbers and sill guards, install door locks (if i can remember where the feck i put them...do have spares tho...) swap out front springs, weld small patch in left rear wheel arch,(underseal etc) mount chrome bumpers fore and aft, sort out rear number plate lamp (ideas please! rear plate mounts shaved off boot door so need to mount below bumper which is low as....worried bout scrapage) fabricate central exhaust mountings, will jus have to see how much of this i can carve thru today, not working today and feckin need this car for work purposes!! Will add and subtract from list as i do it, jus need somewhere thats not a piece of paper to keep tabs on all this nutse!! Been goin hard doin heaps, last nite got bonnet release sorted, grill mounted, guard mounted, rocker cover gasket replaced, valve clearances done, welding in footwells finished. Plus started attempting to clean up barn...mission impossible!!

Looks good man, Especially with the chrome bumpers on it, something about the rear hatch doesnt quite look right for some reason to me? (missing lettering/numberplate on the gemini's - Mounted like a chevette now..)
