    Hey hey everyone, just an update with the ragtop.
    Few things have happened since ive last updated on here
    Ive been flat out following my passions and managed to finally stick my foot in the door at a tuning garage down the road that needs a mechanic and now finally got into a career ive been dreaming about! So now i can sell my VE ute and daily the mk1 when its done! Yay!!!

    Ive come to the conclusion that over been just too fussy about the body work lately (main reason why its not sprayed) but I've agreed on a reasonable body condition and trying not to go over board, given that I'm going to daily the beast.

    Raintray, gone! Haha
    Im retro fitting a modern heater box that is smaller and more efficient that will only recirculate air

    Smoothing the bay too for a neat finish






    Can anyone tell me what this sticker is for? Vac lines?

                    Congrats mate! Looks professional.

                    Looks like you got a little bit of paint on the floor
