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.
