We can restore cars back to original. But we can't restore originality.
could be up to 4 months pre vehicle build date I believe. if you want REAL specifics you'll need to contact HHS or one of the members who collect ID details mate

It's been a while.... Finally found a weekend to work on the pano.
Contemplated not doing this but I'm glad I did.

By the way. The rares beaver panels are rubbish but I don't expect much from rares products anymore. I done the best with what I had. Still gotta Finnish it off and clean it up. But I'm happy I got to repair the rust behind the beaver panel and treat it..

does it need too much massaging or just totally shit fitment?

Its very different. Finnish is poor lots of ripples ect. The bottom corners where it wraps around is way way off. No holes drilled. I had to trim some spots. And where they have cut the top section looks shit house. Its just pissed me off because there not cheap and all the little things take so much longer. Come up ok i the end i guess just alot of effort
thanks for the info mate. Im still torn. If you go second hand you still have to scout around and then spend the time removing it that you could invest in getting the rares one to fit i suppose. but yeah, $400 for something that is ripply and fits like shit is a bit redick

I used body deadner to try get the same horrible finnish Holden did... its harder to paint than u think.. I used thinned down body deadner first to get the same texture,
Then had some paint color matched in satin. turned out pretty good in the end. you prob cant seen it in the pics but..

getting close to painting the body now. I've wet rubbed but had a couple of small ripples so I've repaired them, just doing the edges, all joins have been sealed with seam sealer.
I have painted door jams and the scuttle area in palais white and the fire wall and dash area in tuxedo black. but i want to do the dash area in a satin.
