I always wondered what it looks like under there! 👍 I'm definitely going to watch this series. As an HQ owner I'm learning alot, thanks

[@craig7343]

Thanks Gary great work man. How did that take to drill out the spot welds? Just curious is all cheers. 👍👌

[@TheRestoShed]

It took a bit over two hours including the filming.

[@GeeenJ]

first HQ i've seen with a complete plenum panel my dad bought a HQ new in october 71 173 3 speed chocolate brown with white roof

[@TheRestoShed]

Yes it’s definitely a rarity to find one as good as that particular one.

[@stevenJEDI3]

Well if you could give me a little bit of advice I’ve looked at your video clip to see exactly where all the weld’s It’s completely loose from the front right along with the brake booster is moves freely but I am having troubles trying to lift it off where the windscreen goes I found a very hard to find the welds Am I supposed to try and knock that silicon out from underneath as well you didn’t make mention of that in your clip any advice appreciated

[@TheRestoShed]

You’ve probably missed a spot weld or 6 along where the windscreen sits. Keep trying, you’ll get there eventually.

[@mariomuz8]

good work

[@stevenJEDI3]

Did you end up re-using it again

[@TheRestoShed]

Will be refitted after the car is blasted.

[@pauljohns1016]

[@mariomuz8]

u can still buy the cowls and they are perfect not after market shit

[@TheRestoShed]

Yes I know, I’ve fitted a few of them. Nothing wrong with saving a good original where you can though.

[@cjbroers5629]

What size bits did you use for the plenum? Thanks
