ill do a update for him as he is on his way home, i swapped the doors over for him today, wasnt too dificult, apart from the new doors had EVERYTHING stripped from them, the front door even had the inside door handle removed... so a quick trip to bunnings had a new set of bolts to bolt it in, swapped the regulators over, door mechanisms and drivers mirror over, all the rest was pretty straight forward.

spotted some small rust on the inside of the drivers door where the mirror sits, then couldnt get the last screw undone, so got the angle grinder out and made a cut in it and was able to undo it.

once we removed the mirror we seen a HEAP of rust, looks like the foam cover for the mirror was holding water and made it all rust. the new door is clean. had no alignment issues and his doors now lock and unlock as per factory.

he seems pretty happy with the job.

Well up date time

Picking up another engine next week from my au wrecker, got it for 120 bucks with 180 000kms on it, out of a s1 au fairmont, needs a new front main seal and a sump, will be going into my mechs shed for a gasket over haul and some minor work done to it,

Will fit it probaly before it goes into paint

Well my local pick a part today, they had there 50 bucks all you can carry day today and still going tommoro,

So i headed down and found a s2 forte, so i grabed the 4 door trims, then i realised my au forte s1 99 model dosent have the electric windows wiring loom, so i now have to get some foam shaped and upholsterd to cover the power window holes in the front 2 door trims, i will drill out the speaker covers on the front so i can still use my manual windows but have s2 door trims,

Grabbed the other matching front seat today and some plush carpert out of a fairmont, grabbed a set of the black scuff plates, drivers side weather shield, the rear roof handles for my roof liner

I will go back tommoro, to grab a black centre console and a silver tbar slector surround and a few other bnits and peaces, anyways, ill get some pics up in the morning

The bonnet is the same colour as the drivers door , but the front guard looks a different colour to both of them.
When are you going to actually modify this car? I reckon it needs a 10 grand crank slipped into it.
