used to install underfloor heating (water) back in the day , boss used to say your solar collector size would need to be the same size as your floor area to be efficient. Which no-one ever went ahead with. Not sure if this is relevant

Spotted this Galant 1850 today at the Duvauchelle garage.

 

 

Nah mate your wrong it’s a Datsun I used to own one just like it

Do you have any measurements for the springs? I have a set of new falcon springs at home but don’t know what model they’re from, they’re blue and quite short. 

Got this in the shed today, was in my price range (low) lots of repairs on it but everything works. Came with no tooling though 

Nah not for sale sorry @SOHC, 

brought a lathe off him though , will put up some pics when I pick it up.

I want to find a drill press like this, found a few that were huge but no smaller ones. Guy next door had one and sold it.

Will ask my wife’s old man he’s got a big old belt drive 3 phase one stashed away he doesn’t use anymore

What volts amps? Might be cheap/dirty psu options we can suggest.

Be a shame to scrap them if there’s a cheap way to get them going/give them away

There are about 50ish of these going in the skip this week, ex stadium leds, however quite a few of the drivers have blown but the leds are mint, are they worth salvaging? The new drivers are over $300 on Ali. Each big panel has two lights and two drivers at a total of 600w. They go hard for what they are, will sling a few up around the shed 

Have you tried going for a drive with the hood off? Does it still boil over at idle with the bonnet up? Is it worth going to an electric water pump so you can run a big fuck off electric fan? 

Went and asked about this rusty Toyota today, it’s not for sale, well put it in a shed if you give a shit about it. Was a fiat? Panel van thing behind it. 

I have a kubota d722 copper radiator that’s brand new , might be worth googling specs to see if it will work , I’m never going to use it.
