What camera and lens are you using Cyf?
Those last close-ups are so sharp that I reckon I could just about steal your fingerprint.

Cyf, You've got some pretty sad photos in your collection. I don't know why, but this one seems to be the saddest.

Hi Warwick,
the camera is a Fujifilm finepix 8.2 Mega pixel. I bought it 4 years ago, it was one of the cheapest. I bought it as a memo pad for the dismantling: it's easy to use, small and as you can see not so bad.
Why are you so sad about the wiring loom? You never dreamed of tearing it away to see what the hell is going wrong in this bloody electrical system?

Let's go on with the chrome work removal. The parts of the rear window The clips, different than the front ones upper ones lower ones There's a trick to remove this part There's hidden screws and bolt/nut in this picture In order to remove the chrome surround of the rear window, you must remove the trim of the C post to undo the nut Then you can remove the plate Under the plate there's a black sticky material And under the material there's the screws for the end of the roof chrome edge The chrome roof edge is removed by undoing the screws

Hi Warwick, the camera is a Fujifilm finepix 8.2 Mega pixel. I bought it 4 years ago, it was one of the cheapest. I bought it as a memo pad for the dismantling: it's easy to use, small and as you can see not so bad. Why are you so sad about the wiring loom? You never dreamed of tearing it away to see what the hell is going wrong in this bloody electrical system? It's got a good lens for a compact camera. It's not the wiring loom itself that I feel sad about - Joseph Lucas has a lot to answer for. No, it's the picture itself. The way that tatty, damaged and tired old loom is just lying on the ground in roughly the way it lay in the car. It's the car's nervous system. It's like looking at the residue and stains left by an animal that has died and disintegrated, undisturbed, over a long time. Or is it just me? Should I perhaps seek professional help?

Oh I see. Please, lie down and tell me about your childhood.... Did you see an agonizing P5 on the side on the road?

Oh I see. Please, lie down and tell me about your childhood.... Did you see an agonizing P5 on the side on the road? It all began when I was about 6 years old and my father bought a Holden to replace our old Morris. Both Lucas and Bosch had factories in Melbourne and GM-Holden used both companies as suppliers. Some Holdens had Lucas electrical equipment and some had Bosch. Our new car had Lucas components and I remember being constantly ridiculed and jeered at by the other children during my first year of school.

These are a great help Cyf - please keep going!
I'm struggling at the moment with matching up the lower rear tonneau panels where they meet the rear wings. I had welded all up but they aren't right and I've had to cut them about a lot to try and reshape - a pic of a rear quarter would be good for me right now!!
Cheers & Merry xmas!!

Now I understand your point of view. The Coupé I dismantled looked as new compare to the one on the picture.... But I'm absolutely not able to deal with that amount of rust

This is my Coupe I am rewelding again at the moment crikey and I thought mine was bad. I should have posted it before I treated the rust, filled it, sanded it and primed it. POR-15 works wonders apparently.

That pipe is a menace - its not the outside which is problem its the inside which corrodes unseen and blows under the 15lb pressure and leaks away unseen as it runs away and dries up

That's interesting. It's a place to check when there's a loss of coolant and you see no leaks
