I seem to have lost my prev post, due to not adding to it,so, I'll include a few pics just to refresh. I actually cannot remember where I last stopped posting, but it is a new year and I have enthusiasm again...

Hi Roel,
Good work going on there with the misses!
Glad to see the 72 Gtx/Runner coming together after all these years.
I saw in the pictures you have an orange Air Cleaner, I'm sure it should be black?
Guess what though, I have a black one here (72 Gtx) and would like to get an orange one for a 72 340 Runner.
Best wishes Bacca,

Guess what though, I have an open one here, and would like to get a sure grip one for a 72 340 Runner.
Best wishes Bacca,

Hi Jules,
I think your computer is playing up?
The text seems to have got muddled up with Air cleaners and axles LOL!
By the way, it is a serious comment, as this car was owned by some good friends of mine in the past and they may have swapped the Air cleaner over to an orange-340 one by mistake?
Black-440 Air cleaners are much rarer and twice as hard to find LOL!
Best wishes Bacman.
ps, nice looking axle there Roel!!!

Thanks for the kind comments. yes, she does help a bit, the only time there was a bit of a moan was when we fitted and took off the rear bumper 3 times!!!
Bacca, the aircleaner is 440, I am not aware of black in '72, BUT, you might be correct. I'll find out and let you know.

Once I have completed underneath, it was off to the paint shop, I painted all inside and underneath at home.
Decided to go full colour underneath ( sorry Bacca) , only put the undercoat in certain areas. I got the undercoat from Ricks Resto
Dave, only saw the finger now, sure I missed it
