"Left to Rot" - My 64.........amazing what sandblasting uncovers!

Long live the van!! looks epic on those rims.

Plans aside from exhasut?

Iridium or platinum have crazy prices for sure, i know someone that used to sell them that could get me them heaps cheaper, so im picking theres a big margin.

My CRF250 needed a certain type of plug that only Honda sell and it was $160 a plug!!! And there was no alternative...Super gay alright

Dude must be super stoked!

White!!!

Heading home today (West Auckland) From Tirau while i was going up bombay hills i saw a mustard yellow mini clubman wagon slammed on its guts on what were either 14 or 15 inch wheels heading on offramp to highway 2. If anyone knows the car i'm talking about i must know more about it looked Feckin awesome guessing non standard supension and or chassis wheels were well and truly under guards tucking all of tyre and some rim. Mint!!

Cheers K-Trips!! Need to start stripping and painting n gasketting the 283 so she looks a bit nicer!

Yeap thought that stuff might be the go, have used it for engine bits before just not a whole engine.....

You just bought it in a spray can (didnt use a spray gun or the likes)?

Whats the best way to paint a engine?

Degrease, waterblast and blow some paint on?

Any paint in particular (does it need to be the heat paint like you get from repco)

Dont want to do it and find it all falls off once its back in car and got to pull it all out again lol

Possibly, need to talk to someone in the know with the things, cause I dont know fuck all about sizing etc for them lol...

Would be so keen if was up here..

Grandads got one of those in teh shed, hes the 2nd owner but had it since about 2 years old i think from memory.

Discussion therad > viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36383

So turns out the 450 Holley is actually a 600 so too big for what I need. Need to now find a 450 floating around somewhere

Have acquired a few new bits

- Holley Street Dominator Alloy Manifold

-Chrome Rocker covers

-2nd Hand as new mini 2kw starter motor

Have finished stripping the car and its now at the sandblasters. Getting sandblasted and primed while its there.

Got a list of new steelwork to get from the states, once its finished sandblasting ill have a final idea for one big order of steelwork.

Few pics of the final stripped product,

What is your dad planning with this orange one??

Not sure need to find out if its still on hold or dead, grandad was keeping it on hold for years but havent checked in a while.

Was all running fine nad interior still mint, even the exterior was still mint bar one scratch/dent thing.
