Update - Wiring loom and door frames

Here are the wiring looms after cleaning. They were cover with 30 years of mud and grease.

Decided to save cash by reconditioning the radiator, below is the primer going on.

This s the condition of the 1/4 glass frames from the door. Plenty of rust and failing paint.

The pic below shows the steering column after blasting back, spraying with primer and then painting in gloss black enamel. Decided to do these parts in non 2-pak as they are not as exposed to the elements. Remember the whole vehicle was painted in enamel, nowhere as strong and UV resistant as the new 2-pak paint will be. Even the gloss enamel out of the can is superior to the original paint.

Below shows the handbrake lever, master brake cylinder and heat shield, all blasted back, primed and painted.

Here are the 1/4 glass dooor frames from earlier, blasted and primed ready to take to the Panel shop for spraying in 2-pak as these components are exposed to the element 24/7.

Here is a pic of the vehicle so far. Beside the yre is the radiator painted and ready to install.

In the pic below you can see the exhaust system. Lucky it waas stainless or galvinised and only required grinding back (to remove the caked on mud) and then painted in manifold black paint which wil be heat resistant and not peel.

Body in the Panel&Paint Shop

Here are some pics of the body in the Panel & Paint Shop (2 Pak Repairs 6/36 Kenworth place Brendale QLD 4500). The first two sho wthe body blasted back to bare metal to show the ugly underside. Surprisgly not too much rust, mainly 30years of the good idea fairly with drill holes everywhere where the latest fad of flares, stereo etc have ben added. Plus the numerous dents over 30 years of us. All these dents and holes need to be patched. The two rear 1/4 panels were completely replaced with new ones due to the amount of bog in them. 

 Dont panic fans the yellow paint in the pic below is etch primer, not the final colour, just there to stop rust. At this point the body still has plenty of panel work left before it is good to go for paint.

Heres a pic of me after sanding back the roll bar. The roll bar had foam glued all over it, easily removed with an air powered sander. Did take 90 min though to remove all that crap.
