cheers ben, ill move back to SA with you now

you mine is all stripped except the roof and quaters but i was waiting till i get the car off the rotisserie so unless some one else does it before me ill do it then also make sure you have a bucket of water close buy for incase you splash stripper on your self and always wear safety glasses because your eyes are important

dont forget when you after you have applyed the stripper to cover it with a plastic drop sheet and let it sit for about half an hour. Oh and scratch up the paint surface nice and good before you start

ill definetly be up for some retrimming in the next 12 months so i will be in touch

yay another south ozzy welcome mate

are you going to put some mesh in the front bar to hide all the uglys behind it ?

nice job rev

rose would be sad, i have her heart

would a wood chuck if?

no the l20et is still going to make its presance between the shock towers of the 240z while i am building up a tough f54 / p90 I am interested to see what i can get out of the l20et with just bolt on bits and ecu upgrade just for kicks i am looking at buying a motor bike to ride to work so i am selling off a few spares to fund it

i didnt realize your car was a 2 seater till just now. That is wicked cool and killa even

i have a spare standard turbo manifold you can have for $250 pluss postage i also have a spare turbo rocker cover you can have for $200

i cant remember how many pice my power built kit is and i dont think i am going to go out and count them, but it has one extra large draw to what NZeder's has. I also fot the tool trolley for the chest to sit on. I have had the kit for 4 years and use it every day and havnt had one thing brake yet. I cant say the same for my sidchrome ratchet spaners

i noticed you have a powerbuilt tool kit. Are you happy with it? I have the same kit and think it was grate value for money

would these seal enough to run boost?

i have to agree. these lexus are not small cars and the mirrors look big on them, so they would look like dumbo on a zed

yeh i have herd all about that with the panel industry heading towards r&r. the beater will soon be extinct. This is why i want to go more towards restoration, because it is what i enjoy the most i will be sure to remind you to tell me that story. I love hearing dirty gossip about holdens lol

john just to back you up, i herd pretty much that same lecture when i was at tafe. Also ve commodore boot floors are glued in and ba falcon roof's are glued on. pretty soon we will not need welders in crash shops

no probs mate but i dont think i would use the tabde to fill in the hole hehehe

I cant be going through a mid life crissis because i havnt yet grown up welcome to the club mate

i would be very hesitant in welding in a new section because of the warping from the heat. I just recently replaced my whole roof skin to do away with my sunroof and it is definitely the best way to do it, providing you can buy you can find a decent rust free roof. If i didnt find a roof i would have glued in a new section with a lap joint. Yes you herd right glue it in The glue to use is from 3m and and is called panel bond. Doing it this way you will not produce any heat so there will be no warping At the very most i would have placed a tack weld in each corner to make sure it didnt move I can remember at trade school we actually replaced the bottom half of a door skin with this method and after we finished we smashed it with a sledge hammer to see if we could brake it, but we couldnt

adelaide z cars has around 8 or so 2 seaters in there wrecking yard maby you should look them up

NOTE FOR THE NOVICE... When welding in new metal in to a corner section, when it is possible it is best to do a diagonal cut rather than a square cut . The reason for this is that with a square cut, when the metal shrinks it will pull from two different directions, were as with the diagonal cut it will only pull from one direction making it easier to keep the metal straight the pics speak for them self
