    The FIRST question that needs to be asked: "Have you worked out a budget?"

    Interesting... Looks like it's already been painted?

    Pedders = Junk. And at that price you are being ripped off. At the very least get some KYB's brand inserts from Baz at Datsport in Lonsdale or SW Motorsport in Sydney. If you can stretch the budget a bit further, Koni Reds are the go (Koni Yellows for street/track work).

    Chassis rails have arrived! Huge thanks to Nat0_Chev for pressing these up for us
  15. C.A.R.
    Well some much needed chassis rails arrived today, & that makes me that much closer to finishing the rust repairs. So I guess it's time to start throwing dates around...! I'm unavailable on the weekeds of Feb 9/10th & 16/17th - rest are free (atm), so what are peoples thoughts of a date?
  16. C.A.R.
    You down at your beach house, Gordo? Yes I was doing the GS&CCR Economy Run - we finished on Churchill Island for lunch. I got the "Stone Motherless Last" award: 14ltrs/100km / 18mpg
  17. C.A.R.
    Thanks Paul. I thought the E/Wheel in your first photo was a MM one - my mistake.
  18. C.A.R.
    Great stuff Paul I'd be interested in your opinion of the MetalMan English Wheel too...

    From NDSOC: Hi Everyone, Understandably we are getting a lot of enquiries about Nationals. We finally got the track agreement over Christmas so we can now have the supp regs to CAMS and more importantly, out to you all for entries. It IS definitely a 75db day, you do need a CAMS licence and it won't be long before we have entries out. Now this is confirmed the council (once back from leave) can finalise our road closure for the concours/show and shine and everything is booked. We hope the entries for the event will not be too far away so please bear with us. If you have any questions, want to know anything, contact nationals@ndsoc.com.au and Karyn will get back to you. Cheers!

    Wooden steering wheels are banned under CAMS rules.

    More completed today - slow going though... :-\ Tacked together & sitting in place. Underside. The finished article (media blasted).
  22. C.A.R.
    After I have repaired it Alex, of course it will hold. Why do you think it wont? Just support the Zed on the chassis rails - the sills aren't the only place to jack up a Zed...

    Have you been drinking Sherry again?

    Mark - Inner sill is in good nick. Just a bit of surface rust No Dim - it's like a piece of FG matting that was jammed into the hole so that the bog had something to stick to... And this is what I was doing for the last couple of hours of today: I've remade the edge of the inner guard/battery tray (by cold shrinking the edge to create the curve) where it is spot welded to the firewall, as the orig. lip was cut off when it was removed from the donor vehicle... ...This will now get 'tweaked' further, & then welded to the replacement panel before being fitted to the car. Thanks must also go to Matt "Bigfella" as this job would be so much harder without him donating that inner section!
