Gauges, trims, lots and lots of chrome bits... Hey drifta, I sent you a PM earlier (when I posted in this thread), asking about a few parts that I needed, the main being a hatch. So I guess what I'm saying is, let me know when you're ready to sell the hatch, I'd love to buy it. Cheers, Rick drifta1600 1 Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted February 22, 2017 Administrators Posted February 22, 2017 Interesting hatch repair method, did you get much distortion doing it that way? I'm guessing it needed a skim of filler? drifta1600 1 Quote
drifta1600 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Interesting hatch repair method, did you get much distortion doing it that way? I'm guessing it needed a skim of filler? No distortion as the lip was double skinned and tacked on first. Then the top skin was tacked on at random points to minimize the heat. And yes.. and weld/patch work need a layer of filler... ideally id buy a brand new hatch.. but cant find them. Also would buy new doors and new gaurds.. but cant find them/get them in Australia unfortunately. In trying to organised heaps for parts from the usa in container. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 22, 2017 Administrators Posted February 22, 2017 In trying to organised heaps for parts from the usa in container. I'm trying to do same thing actually. With doors, bonnets, hatches, steel wheels, roofs etc.. drifta1600 1 Quote
