Lots of cleaning of the inner panels surfaces over the last two weeks. Not fun work, but has to be done I suppose :)

Interior was ordered through Winners Products. Code 10x, which is black. Ordered seat skins, new foam, kick panels, parcel shelf, door trims, interior light assembly, and new reclining seat adjustment knobs.

Rare Parts, my local Rare Spares stockist, got a few orders for parts, including new eyebrow moulds, wheel arch moulds, new lock sets, some badges, bonnet release kit, and a number of small bits and pieces.

The shell was sent off to be sand blasted. We didn't expect to see it back before xmas, but it was. Thanks guys! The door and boot skins were removed, and cleanup was started.  During this time I started working with   Leon at A1 High Performance, to organise a new engine.

Dropped the Monaro down at The Panel Shop    on October   21st 2019, and it wasn't long before the first photos started coming through. Quarters were stripped off and cleaned. Front end was removed, as were the diff, fuel tank and suspension. The bonnet (a NOS item i purchased years ago!) was sanded back, and the interior was cleaned of all sealer etc. Next, the car was going to head to the sand blaster...
