  1. You can't get the shit out of the frame and for ever after the paint will come off around the seams, if you have it power coated after it will be a total mess
  2. Is that place in penrose still going?
  3. Thats what I thought, once a wof inspector noted that my car had previous structural repairs
  4. And then it needs a body cert?
  5. A friend of mine took her car for a wof and it failed on light surface rust underneath and they sed it needs a repair certificate before anything can be done, they recommend she scrap the car. Has the system changed recently or something?
  6. For some reson hitting the weld with the chipping hammer makes it darken
  7. It must be working as it goes dark even if you point it at a glowing bit of steel
  8. I have an auto darkening helmet but it has a battery, what is the battery for? It must be long dead.
  9. What about scrape the gasket off and use a bit of silicon?

    Basically just cut out the old muffler but with my friends 57 Fairlane its getting 2" duels with 10" Cobys up by the transmission, will sound nice with the old Y block

    I have been fitting them them to everything from motorcycles to lawn mowers, they do one called a Super Coby that has a chamber in the front that sounds super nice on an old 6 cylinder, I had some of them on a v8 with duels and it was nice, I have one on my 4 cylinder Volvo

    Not super horrible, a new big end and mains should see the bottom end done, I may reuse that old piston. People reckon I should press the cams off the shafts and swap them over but then the ramps are on the other sides of the lobes. Gearbox is apart and I need a new 2nd M/S gear, I found a new 1st, I got given most of a clutch and a kick start leaver

    Both the big 4 engines have ball race bearings from factory, they can stay that way. When the waka taniwha had its 2nd blow up the maines needed to be replaced and they were over $600

    I found another WD Big 4 engine, it has the tappits and valve lifter I was missing, also the cam pinion is better than the one I have. Much to my surprise and glee this engine doesn't have lipped roller main bearings, they are about $400 a bearing, this just has ball race bearings.
  17. Could you not put the expansion tank any higher?
  18. This is all finished, just need to wate for some good weather befor i take it out on the road
  19. Thats 35mm reinforcing bar, its for a job witch acutely pays.
  20. Can HPC do a white exhaust coating?
  21. Its funny BMWs only make max power with the stock liuftmaster mufflers, can do any mods to the engine like supercharge etc but every exhaust system under the sun wont preform as well as the stock system lol. Wile you can slip the gearbox back and lube the clutch splines and check the flywheel bolts. Thats the only photo I have with my BMW
  22. Got a honda GX200 and a torque converter to fit, it had a China 110cc CT style engine when I got it but it wasn't mounted very well
  23. New bit of seamless tube welded in
