I have posted some photos on Face Book on the Isuzu site in case anyone is interested. Almost all the yellow paint is gone with the guards and bonnet painted today in blue. Cab is next. Chassis is done and painted in two pack black and 2.54 ratio (Ford Cortina) dif will be ready to put in soon. Big job as there is some rust requiring panel replacements in the cab that slows everything down. Should cruise very nicely down the highway.
Keeping the Florian 161 engine and the 5 speed Rodeo transmission. Newly re-chromed grille, headlight bezels and bonnet badge due to arrive soon and the new windscreen as well. Brand new Koito H-4 headlights have arrived and because I could not find any decent original front indicator lights it will get the later Bellett type lights with new lenses.
Any one with knowledge of the split rear bumpers - or suitable substitute - please let me know - until I sort that out it will not have a rear bumper.
Rebuilt a heater from a later model Bellett - got lucky with a VG matrix - all painted and ready to install once the cab is done.
Managed to get the dash pad off in one piece so a new one will be made.
Adding Oil P, Water Temp and Fuel gauges - replacing the combination gauge cluster with a Tacho.
Anyone one with a decent set of wing repeater lights let me know - white or yellow lenses - need to be pretty good condition.
Shooting for January completion date.

I will be happy to post some pics if I could find the instruction for this site. I have done a search but come up empty. Thanks.

Been cleaning the engine and transmission - painted the block in original black and cleaned up allt the alloy bits. Brakes all sorted - front drums required new cylinders and drum turned - one side almost down to metal to metal. Need to patch where "someone" cut out a section of the bell housing to accommodate a Rodeo started. Good that I had a near new original starter to go back in. Between me and my engineer we determine that there would have been 4 or 5 different people "modifying" different parts of this Wasp that required serious repairs to make it close ot original. This has not been an inexpensive restoration project and is not a surprise to keep this Wasp from the scrap yard. No regrets but maybe the next owner will appreciate the painstaking time we spent getting this done properly. And no it will not be for sale - I intend to drive it.
