hey am keen to hear some more about how you brought your parts from malaysia, and what you do for freight etc, have a ke25 coupe and keen on a few things. cheers

choice check out around the pedals for rust as mine has issues there and bottom of the back door. love these vans such bricks but shit in accident.

hey you could try using some plumbers flux paste from a plumbing suppliers place, we use it when brazing brass to copper etc, or dirty pipework, may or may not work for you. have also used it for brazing brass to steel , lots of heat too.

think they are 8" they are on a kingcat rideon 

if you need a set of ride on lawn mower rear wheels I've got a spare set for free if need be. 

yeah so been a while. 

collected 9 sigma wagon 14" steelies , some stiffer springs, and have done a little work on my engine. tried to buy new where i can\afford. got a ute gearbox for it (stronger?) , brought a g of c02 for the welder , no excuses now not to do some work on it. (will find some)

has factory body tag and a cage number and logbook.

yip its still attached etc so maybe bring a few tools mine are scattered everywhere at the mo. will pm my ph number

have a whole car if you want one for free, someone is looking at buying it on the weekend for parts so ya better be quick!

hey there anyone know anything about roll cages? been offered a 70's corolla race car for what seems to be a good price but worried that the roll cage may not be up to todays standards, has logbook but no number plates. he last used it at taupo 10 years ago. will this be allowed back on a track etc? cheers

cool thank you , don't know much about toyotas, will get a pic sometime\work out how to store it\tell wife its hers etc.

hey nice corolla, a mate has offered me his old coupe race car, same shape as yours, for $3800 its running a hot 2T with twin sidies , cage with papers , heaps of hot-wires and slicks , nice rear end set up, big brakes etc and comes with two 4age engines. I don't know what these are worth is this a good deal? be a fun hillclimb car. cheers.

going to steal your dohc valve spring compressor idea.

cheers will do.

Hi there I'm buying a 1980 jeep j20 6.2 diesel, it has the usual rust in the cab from sitting outside. A guy in hamilton makes fibreglass cabs for these and I'm quite interested. 

Whats the go with getting one certified? He said they put steel in for all the mounts etc but said they need extra if you want to use it on the rd, do they need a roll bar type arrangement? is it a bitch\costly exercise? don't want a jungle gym to get into.

cheers max

pretty certain the second gen L200 diffs are bigger than the early L200 diffs, think you could also look into the sigma wagon diff centre too as they were? an 8" diff and might be of use to you.

think this is everyones dream? find a choice rare car off some old geezer who doesn't know what its worth? 

gotta be the best find of the year, gets my vote. 

pretty sure I've got lenses and a mint front bumper end cap,not sure which end.

not sure about your outlet? better throw up a pic, I've got a few 16L bits in my lockup if your short. is the outlet from the block or head? I've used 4age? inline thermostats from pick a part corollas with good success , have herd they are not good to use in theory but in real life they have worked well.

can you run compressed air through the spark plug hole to hold the valve in place while you replace the seal? have herd of people using thin rope through the plug hole at the bottom of the stroke then winding the piston up but i don't like that idea.

glad you like it mate.

cool cheers for your input guys, looks like its best to stay clear.

have just been offered a mid 2000's landcruser single cab 6 cyl diesel with tipper and nice bar for $26k so might just go for that.

been working in broome lately and spotted this old HQ monaro in the car park of the local maccas, waited around to talk to the owner\try to buy with no cash but they never showed, there was a big abbo footy match in town that day and i suspect that it came from the bush, was heaps of sweet old dungas around, had plenty of rust.[/url

]sorry don't know how to fix this
