Yep as said go with the .9 Just degrease with the supercheap stuff and before paint you'll need to key the area. I use a flap disc on the grinder as 9 times out of 10 you'll use filler over the area and a rough surface gives better grip.

It is not. It is best to remove it. It may have been applied in an unsatisfactory manner. Beep. Humanoid out!

Sorry gents, while the discussion is raging on about mounting placement the Grille Sold. I should have another for sale soon. :-\

Etch primer.

Do you have Facebook?

Some pics of the two grilles in Dales garage.

I think one of the fins is shorter, the middle one. I have spare fins too if someone want to make an extended grille.

I reworked this Grille stripping it back and sanding all the fins then spraying in etch primer. One of the uprights was damaged so i made another one to the same specs just a smidge thicker material. Asking $100 plus postage if required.

I fabricated some because the 75 onwards floorpans are complex. I cut off the bottom plate of the rail at the corners and made a full length insert that went around the corner and joined the rear section. Looking back i t would have been easier to replace the wholefloorpan with the flat rare spares type. I'll see if i can find a picture.

I extended my chassis rails to the rear. Many here have done it.

Or get one of these.

Copy that! We'll nut it out but sounds good.

Yep got some Ballarat boys going.

Gordo was chasing one.

If someone in Melbourne doesn't go down to trufit and get this guy some carpet i will drive 300 + Kays and do it myself. Anyone??

Ta for the quick reply Wayne, you are Legend!

If you don't find one there i have one here off a parts car that was sitting around for maybe 15 years, so it would have less wear i think. PM me if nothing else comes your way, have posted large parts all over Aus.

Ohhhhh you've done it now!

Bit of an issue finding the right type of bolt for the coat hanger for this young gentleman. I ended up machining a bolt down and polishing the top for a chrome finish. Left is the original one and the center one is the base i started with, the finished one on the right. A drop of your clear nail polish (i'm not saying you have any) after you fit it will keep the chrome look. Will that work?

I should sell my green one. It's just sitting there and i'm not doing it justice.

Hi, just wondering if anyone is around the Toowoomba area specifically Meringandan QLD 4352? I am collecting some parts for my daughters project (intake manifold and holley) PM me or text me on 040five298four11. Thanks

I have booster here. Should i hang onto it just in case you require one?

It's like organ donor-ship, it's not a nice topic but if she saves others it can't be wrong. 40 years from now people will read this and desecrate our graves! (or mine)

Ahhh restoration, i have had a hand in the odd one. I will assume you have a vehicle mostly complete to write this. Before we start, 9 out of 10 projects fail! The Vehicle: Always nice if you can start, drive and video the whole lot. It will inspire you when you are running out of energy. Get snap Happy. The Workplace: Treat it like you are working for someone else. Make it user friendly. The Budget: That's your choice but if there's not $100 out of your wallet every week you will be more likely to fail. Engine/ transmission: Do you have 20 Years? Unless you want a stock setup or are handy with a spanner i would say forget about building your own. Budget and types can range sooo much it's a whole other thread itself. If you buy unfinished project gear do Not do it unless they have proof. The Tear-down: Don't label every little piece because there are 1000 guys on here who can help you with nuts and bolts. The other big bits are simple and after 40 years a percentage of the bolts will incorrect. Parts: Haggle, wait, watch and get the best price you can but remember that every hour you're on a forum, gumtree or ebay is time you could be spending on your project. GET A PARTS CAR!!!!! Rust Repairs Shell The hard bit now will be when the car is at it's most vulnerable. Guess what? So will you. You'll now have a stripped down and rusty lump of metal that doesn't hardly look like a car. This will sap all your energy. Break down the areas into sections (Panels) if you are serious you can do one a day (8Hrs) on each. Cover the rest of the car like a surgeon does if it starts to get to you. Get that sucker in Etch as soon as metalwork on each panel is done. Bodywork will follow. Rust Repairs Panels Same as above but get that repaired shell out of the shed (remember you are Male and you know you can multitask but focus your mind, focus it on one section at a time. You will work better that way.) Now as you repair a panel fit it, get your gaps right. Start at the back and go forward. Bodywork: Now that the emotional part is over take a breath. You need to change your mental state. Bodywork is more like art than work, try to enjoy it. It's like crafting a clay model much the way they do for any prototype. Get some music cranking, you'll know when you are in the mood. FEEL THE CAR. It's important. You need to reconnect with it. It's becoming part of you now If you lack the skills do as much as you can, remember it's 90% prep 10% paint. Then get help to make her straight. In the history of our planet there has never been a better time to learn. Starting the car and driving it at this point will boost your ego. DO IT if you can! Assembly: If you will use the car like i do there is little point in having a high quality finish underneath. Clean everything but don't go silly. Interior: Try to find a car with a good one or you'll pay for it here. Having a mix of new and used parts is hard to pull off. Once all this has been completed you will have the luxury of dealing with engineers, roadworthys and registration. If you manage to get to this point you may find yourself a changed man. I won't say how because i don't want to ruin it. Be in that 10 % you won't regret it!

We all know that some have to die for others to live. This has a vented bonnet. I would kill it in a heartbeat to see 3 or 4 others live.
