thanks @dick61
ordered the new lens.

I'm planning on using the 202 Blue motor out of grandad's WB.
Does anyone know where i can source a basic (not crazy racing pistons n shit) rebuild kit for a 202 blue and if so, how much?

I've seen ACL Full racing rebuild kit (race gaskets, cast 60 thou over pistons, etc) for $700 but I'm wondering if there is a rebuild kit with just bog standard gear.

That kit from acl is the cheapest way to buy rebuild kits they are just flat tops those pistons in the kit nothing special about them

Finally bothered to upload some more pics to photobucket

finally did some work on the drivers side

door sanded with 150 grit
rust converter on spots
sanded 320 grit
spray putty to fill
sanded 400 grit
very light first primer coat

I'll probably have to do the primer again because as soon as i moved the car out, it rained.

I probably should've left if under cover

Good luck with the project, will be a Ute you will never forget and if is nice and straight, close to original and looked after will always get admiring glances from many. A nice set of Hotwires would look great and match the late 70's beautifully.

Should be awesome when you are finished mate. I am only 16 myself and am doing the same sort of thing. What state are you in?

**79Kingswood** · 09-10-2013, 12:22 PM

@Doug. I'm in Maryborough, QLD 3 hours from Brisbane.
@GNW1974 I think hotwires would look awesome. Only problem is that no one in my area has any

@Doug What sort of vehicle are you working on?

I was just wondering because I'm in Tassie, and have a 202 red motor with a 4 speed box which would be perfect for you, if you didn't want to rebuild the motor you were planning on using. I've got a 78 HZ Kingswood. I'm making mine how I want it, similar to you I guess. It was originally white with a buckskin interior, 202 four on the floor. I'm putting a full black GTS interior in mine, getting it sprayed either nocturne blue or windsor blue. Because I'm in Tasmania, I'm allowed to have a V8 on my L's and P's.
