kyteler Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Foh sho. Awesome. ..and you're right, no point cheaping out on those things. I bought a cheap hoist but it was only cheap because it was a second hand one. Good quality name brand item though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77magnum13hundy Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yeah nice to have a high roof for the Ol hoist... And heaps of areas... was a squeeze to find room for this thing because it takes about half a car width so now had to re-jig garage to allow for 2 cars and shelves and bench.... Getting there....

77magnum13hundy Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Annual update, building a fuel shell to house the surge tank and lift / main pump in the boot using an old mortar shell box. Also what would be good option to make LSD happen in this? And yes I have a spare diff to weld, does anyone make anything that would fit into this housing or should i go shortened hilux type deal.. Keeping in mind the custom widened wheels, the 4x4" stud pattern, and just generally the least amount of fucking around involved. Been pretty down in the dumps lately so mojo and overall production takes a seat while i sort life out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Glad you're still at it though. LSD were made in limited numbers for the larger axles but spendy and rare. I think Geoff fitted an escort axle (english or atlas?) so he could find lsds cheaper and easier. ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Tamer Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Be careful when sandblasting. Sand contains a lot of silica which will fuck your lungs. A dust mask won't cut it for sandblasting like you are doing. You really need to wear a respirator probably of the correct grade. You can get dust masks to filter silica but they are really for dealing with low level amounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77magnum13hundy Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Oh thanks for that, I was using a painting mask Norton branded which should be suitable? I do use a normal Fibre mask for grinding smut as black boogers accumulate...but yeh I can see a lot of airborne dust hovering after I've done a bit and wait for compressor to build up again.

Tiger Tamer Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It’s the real fine dust that is harmful. The dust you see hanging in the air or the dust you can’t see. The filter will tell you if it is suitable for silica. That one doesn’t mention it so it would be best to get the correct filter. Google Silica dust health problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumberSS Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Cunty job. Am in the midst of floor skunge removal on the datto. Not fun! Recommend scraping all the under seal off first before blasting, will make the blasting job a bit easier. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77magnum13hundy Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Yeh any areas I'm able to get at are being dealt to with strip disc on grinder and wire wheel, the hard to get to areas as in pics are getting blasted. Have a heat gun and scraper and a butane torch to help get shmuts off as it clogs strip disc on the thicker areas of tar or underseal. Not in a big rush so sections only will soon have it sorted. To prevent rust im coating with crc weld thru zinc paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumberSS Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 It's a shit job. I'm doing mine underneath car on frames which makes it even more fun! Worth it in the end though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Tamer Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I was told underseal can contain asbestos ( which google confirms). I have always used heat to soften it and scrap it off. Then used petrol to clean the residue off. I have been told Kerosine is better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't need to know that. Looks back to all those fun days wiring brushing off old dry underseal 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The more I read these info snippets, the more I realise that I must be close to death already. Bogging, sanding, painting, grinding alloy , galvanic poisoning about 20 times. Yup way to look after myself. she’ll be right *sigh* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
