Ha ha,The Beware the Unwary.lols...As for the older ones being easier,Hmmmm way more repairs as they have 30 years more wear and often parts need remanufacturing,and yes EVERY single part needs attention in its own way.You will learn procedures for all aspects as you go along,many tricks and tips can be learnt to make things easier and much faster,The Hg im about to post took me 15 hours.i have spent 8 hours before just in polishing alloy parts,painting is quick as is prep,I have a sand blaster and I mostly use a gun,but that can make its own work as sandblasting shows pits which then need to be filled and repaired and so on.You cans spend hours on bases to fill and prime or lead wipe and sand to get a perfect result. So may aspects to consider,people dont realise. I spent $30.00 for parts and 40.00 for new wheels on my last resto,its almost ridiculously cheap. BUT 15 hours at a really low labour rate of say 50ph...equates 750.00 doesnt seem so cheap anymore does it? lols. Anyways your doing great and as you said it can be very rewarding. I cant post pics for some reason at the moment,but my Last HG is Finished see what you think,cause trufully,your work so far at least equals that of mine...Well done,and keep them coming :)
