what about one of these?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/other/auction-1010314136.htm

maybe a bit small on the litre side of things and they arnt to badly priced either 

could be a go 

Found this mint 1979 Honda civic chilling at the Sylvia park Carpark in Auckland

by looking at the photo of what you put up about the carpet it doesn't look too bad in the photo 

theres one thing you have to consider if you are going to get new carpet 

1 being you are a young fella and me aswell both know once its legal your gonna go cruising with your mates etc

and there going to eat and drink in the car and place there dirty shoes on your nice new carpet.

All rounder the car doesn't look too bad of shape although i would advise a oil and filter change prior to the engine being started by looking at the oil filter 

and i would advise in investing in some fish oil or a similar product and go round and spray in the inside of doors rear gaurds anywhere that rust could start 

good luck with the project 

Decided I better update this thread

I haven't really done a lot on this regarding the rust repairs but I decided I would pull it apart a bit more

So now my mission is to fix the exhaust leak it had from the manifold

If you zoom into the picture you can see the big gap between the manifold and head

Which reviled this big leak

The reason that there was a exhaust leak was due to a buggered gasket manifold wasn't completely flat and that a couple of a exhaust studs weren't long enough to fit a flat washer on

So while I was at it I gave the surfaces a good facing so there will be no more leaks

Now I just need to get a couple of longer exhaust studs and a new inlet/exhaust gasket

And get a carb to manifold rubber gasket from Webber specs

Also needing some radiator upgrade advice

What other car radiator fits etc

Decided I would do some work to this and this had been bugging me since I've had the car that the rear brake drums were rusty which looked crap.

So I started by jacking it up removing wheels etc and I managed to get the left rear drum off but the right hand one wouldn't have a bar of it

I was smanging it as hard as I could with a big hammer with fully de adjusted brakes

So with oldschool post for ideas

Smanging it and heat was the answer

So I ended up using a propane torch and a drift and a big hammer.

Didn't get a photo of how bad they were before but I'm sure your imagination can paint a picture of them

Keen beans on this shit

So I ended up getting the drum off

I blasted the shit out of it with the propane torch and no didnt get it red hot as not advised

Ended up using a solid drift and hammer and smang dat while rotating the drum every couple of smangs

And worked a treat

Also find out it helps if you have someone to help you for some unknown reason.

Cheers for the ideas guys!

Have been tapping it one the flat face

Have sprayed crc on it also

And handbrake is also off

The drum is free spinning

Have even been hitting it with a big sledge hammer

I think heat might be the go aye

In my kp starlet I've been trying to get the brake drums off

I've got the L/H side off by tapping it with the hammer took awhile though

But the R/H one won't budge I've fully de adjusted the shoes tapped the hell out of it with a big hammer

Tried hitting it from behind with a punch also.

Although it does appear to be damaged around the locating hub which I think is what is stopping it from coming off.

My work and myself use Enpro engine reconditioning on 11 Malvern rd off church in onehunga/penrose just a one man band very knowledgeable guy very fair pricing and I think infact his ute has a ford v8 in it.

He's been in business for a few years now and said he use to have a bigger shop before with a few employees when everyone was getting engine rebuilds etc.

My work uses advance auto electrical limited in penrose there mobile and have been good when we have used them unsure on pricing though

There number is 09 634 1541 ask for rowan he's the owner

^ he's talking about real steel gc's to deal with and not to badly priced

They are on hill street off church st at onehunga end

So hilux lsd's are pretty much single spinners is what your saying

Looking for LSD diff options for my kp starlet

Have found a hilux setup but are they a bit overkill?

Do hilux's have a good LSD diff?

Or is a t series the way to go?

Currently has a 4k in it but will be going to a 4age in the future

Worth it or?

Wanting people's opinions on this

Cheers

Also anyone got any front doors for me?

After looking at the door again I've decided it's a bit of a mission to fix as its double skin in areas

So I pulled the rest of the doors off to check weather they are repairable as well and have decided I'll try and find some not so rusty front doors and will repair the rears

With all the doors off what better way to go for a burn down the street and back right?

Here's a pic of proof I did

Do you require a kit or is it just leaking from the o ring on the shaft going into the engine as it's quite common they leak

//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/34643-how-to-add-pictures-to-the-forum/

This will tell you how to upload photos on your project thread 

Had a quick look at the rust on the drivers door and after tapping around with a hammer i ended up with this

Now I just need to go buy myself a sandblaster as my old one the nozzle shit itself

Yup going to fit a rear bumper just waiting to hear back from enzee weather he has one or not

Not much of a update

But this is progress right?

If you have a good quality screwdriver that fits nice would be a start

Sometimes it works if it has a hard handle try and tap it the handle of the screwdriver with a hammer while trying to undo the screw

I Havn't done any welding with panel steel before so I've picked up some scrap bits to do some practice welding with so once I get good enough I'll start my patches on my car.

I've pulled that for sale sticker off that back as well after I took the photos
