Your going to have to press it out. Make a v block so you dont bend the shaft.

Why wouldnt it drill out??

Well done mate!! The workmanship quality in your project is outstanding. Its been a pleasure watching it progress, and contribute as well.As gill said, its a total credit to you. Cant wait to see this emerald shine.

Brushing on the epoxy enamel is easier and cheaper Gav, and there is no brush marks with the enamel either, you cant tell the difference.

Pm'd.

I have a spare pair if your still looking. Not too far from you either.

I wish you had of contacted me a week ago! They are no longer available sorry.

I would like to send out a big thanks to the many members who have given my old man their clocks to be repaired. He has been very successful in getting them all working again. Could i ask that the people that he has helped out to write some feedback on here on your experience so people sitting on the fence can feel at ease and not be hesitant to send theirs off too. Cheers guys

Hey guys, i have these left over that another member gave to me to use but i ended up fabricating my own. I only needed the top corners on the rear section replaced anyway. Theres a little cancer in them so what you see is what they are. They're off a late 2+2. I am offering them for free to pass on the generosity of our community. The rear section has had past repairs but might be better than what you have or at least a good template for an example to use. I dont mind if you want to post but you organize the courier and i dont want to wrap or package them. Im on the northside of Brisbane.

And disconnect the battery when its sitting.

I'll pass that tip on to the new owner. Sold pending.

All good mate. I know im not the first to make a spit from old engine stands. I reasearched many designs around to get the offsets correct for balancing and the height also. So thanks to all for posting your creations so one more mutant could come to life. Its been so awesome to have it. I couldn't bring myself to be working upside down for so much i had ahead of me with removal of sound deadener and then rust repairs. Also to position the car at exactly the angle to be able to work on without a sore back and knees. It has been a pleasure and also a milestone that many people dont pursue. But the end result is very rewarding to look at and also know that i have a 99% rust free shell now after about 4 months on the rotisserie. Before:

Guess i probably should have made it look pretty and give them a lick of paint but thats time id rather be doing other stuff on the zed. To bear some details these started life as engine stands that were chopped and added height. From there some gussets added and side stance fattening. Definitely not covered by original makers waranty. There are no stress cracks or any evidence of failure at all.Feel free to add your own signature to them if you think they need it! This is a 2+2 by the way. Price is negotiable as i realise its not engineered. (I didnt get a mechano set when i was little ok).

Hey guys, im just about to put my shell back on the ground as i have completed all underbody repairs. The stands are obviously homemade but it worked very well, sturdy and was well ballanced. There is also two long lengths of reo joining the stands together that i added later for more rigidity. After $500 neg. A couple of pics of finished underbody.

Theres another 2 seater on the gold coast now for sale..gumtree.. cheaper than the last one.

Why did the direction of the breather change?

Not sure if they are correct as i havent got around to the job yet but these were advertised as steering rack bushes.

No i was thinking these ones

Have you tried repco. Thats where i got mine from and still havent installed them so can get the part number if you need.

Ok i have updated the items that are sold and a big thankyou to all who have purchased these things as i have now a new DeVillbis spray gun and it looks beautiful. Cant wait to use it but have to get the last of my rust repairs and blocking done before i can appreciate it. Its just more insentive to pursue with the mundane processes. Cheers guys.

Im happy to do this obviously. Will do a better price for you Gav

Mate,your not getting many resposes here because its really your decision. Keep reading that book and you will make your own mind up with what you want and how much money you can to sink into it. Theres all sorts of builds out there that you can research to make your mind up too.Thats why people post their build threads,to highlight their goals and how they achieved them or changed because of......

280z caps sold.

Have just reduced the prices on all items. I have found my spray weapon of choice and it will be the Devilbiss flg5. Great reviews and great price so just need a couple more bucks now.... I will advertise on flebay on the weekend if they dont sell here by then.

Good stuff Gav. Ill pm you his details and let him know who you are. Thanks.
