    Nothing much on this project car has been done for awhile apart from pull it apart more and use it as shelve and storage cabin inside FT dog telling me to get it done. All of this is because it was stored in the car port then the carport became an enclosed garage so we ended up having no proper space to do welding and grinding without setting fire to stuff. And plus we have been building a new shed to put our shit in mostly mine though so now with our shed pretty much done the car should be making its way into the shed this weekend and i shall get stuck in to finishing this heap but.... on a brighter note all ive done is buy more parts too. so i haven't completely done nothing

    +1 for dashboard restorations Did my one in the piazza that a upholstery shop at the time in onehunga didnt want to touch due to the shape Also not surprised that they are busy due to them making dashes for R/H hook conversions. He should just pull it out and take it down there for a quote. Also just as a note these guys don't just bog and slap some paint on your dash or do a quick recover All their dashes are coated with a paint that is imported from the US that is $200 a litre from what he told me and it also involves them being placed in a oven for proper paint cure plus the use of a vacum of some sort to pervent air bubbles stuck in the dash. so there is a reason they are not cheap they use quality procducts and do top notch work.

    With looking at the photo of the caliper it appears that it has rust under the seal but the rust on the top ridge isnt a huge issue as it only holds the moisture boot best bet would be to get it bead blasted then see how bad the pitting is on the metal but would most likely be fine i would say that the caliper piston has rust on it so would require a new one but you need a caliper rebuild kit anyway. would also recomend doing the rebuild yourself as saves abit $$ plus they are not hard to do.

    //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/34643-how-to-add-pictures-to-the-forum/ incase you hadn't already had a read of it Also seen as your wire wheeling up parts then applying paint to them which is great have you considered buying a sand blasting booth like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/building-renovation/tools/airtools-compressors/sanders-sand-blasters/auction-1141087017.htm nice and easy for all those small parts and also removes the rust/paint the part may have leaving a nice surface to paint on because a wire wheel will not remove all the rust mostly just surface stuff keep rolling in with the updates keen to see the end result cheers

    I havn't had a look at a ex lancer but could possibly have a electric pump in the fuel tank pull up the back seat and check for a wiring plug or for some screws or bolts in a round shape undo and pull out and pump will be there

    +1 to that also

    Yes only the bits that have been repaired will be repainted yellow respray is on the cards for it but in years to come define a proper patch? ive cut it out just past the rusty patches then welded in one single layer steel but thicker than standard.

    would be keen on some updates on this if there has been any that is

    Hmm that's the first I've heard of a clutch plate slipping on The spline But I seem to think that the incorrect clutch plate That matches the gearbox spline has been fitted Causing this. As your clutch friction material is always your weakest link In the system. Keep us posted on how you end up removing the Clutch plate from the G box

    Nice collection you have there Did you bring all your American cars in from the US yourself? Liking the ke30 but bit bummed your not painting it factory yellow again As i like the factory yellow But that's your choice not mine but like the new colour however

    Good With stuff for patches everyone will have a different opinion on what to use etc But I use a phosphate type coating on patches and bare metal etc Which I think is great shit as you can wipe it off with a rag When it's dry As it turns to a powder form And you can weld over it also And it's a great rust neutraliser
  19. piazzanoob
    when you are striping all these panels are you coating them with anything straight after they are bare metaled? also body looks in good nick with that small patch of rust i would say go and get yourself a small portable sand blaster and buy some fine grade media like a glass aggregate for all those small bits that need doing all it would require is a air compressor to use it.

    previous person who had done work on it used pop rivets to hold all the door rubbers in. only doing the spots that are showing rust atm best thing would be to unstitch the inside of the doors and redo all of it but thats a massive job. remeber you cant stop rust it will always come back in these cars all i can do is pervent it and fix the bits it has.
  21. piazzanoob
    Thought I better start doing some real work done on this car Like rust repairs Started out by making some patches for one of the doors so they can Be welded in One of the tricks I found on how to create a radius No screwdrivers were harmed in this event Got my Ol mate Jim to keep me going
