Just here to offer swaps for a rusty sack of poo. I know what I've got... KPs don't get much better than yours!

In the name of science no doubt

Your overthinking this Reverse the r&d...

I used to say 'if only I was into old men I'd have no trouble getting action'... Not once was I appraoched by a fine young female sadly.. Perhaps it's not the car though as prospects haven't greatly improved..

Love that old beast. It was a pretty easy classic to live with.

Clutching at straws you say...

I guess another test might be to start deploying gaffa tape along strategic seams to check if things are less than perfect? I had no doubt you'd be all over it, annoying to have to chase..

Hi Alex, not to challenge your obvious engineering wizardry but a couple of thoughts. Have you done a smoke test to ensure you have no leaks elsewhere?? Additionally I note that the factory exhaust exit is maybe 200mm from the outer edge of the car and quite long from my quick googling. Would it be worth emulating this (mirrored obviously) as one would assume it's good from factory given the superior engineering of Rootes group at the time! Just a thought, loving that you are starting to get some kms under your belt I bet it's a real sharn magnet!

Try googling the part number to find local supply or see who the agent is.

I think it has been repainted then too. I actually stole the bonnet and bootlid so he prob repaired them as they had a small amount of rust, and perhaps then repainted again. It had def had an enamel respray when I had it, I sold with blue panels though. Unfortunately it was the only pic I could find.

Sorry for commenting on your build thread but I can't see a discussion thread.. Funny story. I brought your snipe as a parts car for my one when I lived on the North shore, probably around 2014ish. Think I paid $500 for it. I got it home and realized it was too good to wreck so I stole a few bits I needed and on-sold it (possibly to you??). @ThePogended up buying my one which has a build thread here somewhere... Great to see you rescued this old steed, I enjoyed ripping a few drives in it while I had it, the 3 speed was fun. PFA

Recipe here. I'm a recent covert to the evaporust now trying to be a cheap ass. This guy's recipe is better and can be reused a lot longer

That didn't take long. Epic

Ive searched this thread but some old links that are dead now. Wondering what the favourite flavour of Aliex gun is? My old shitter has seen better days and I have a few jobs coming up. Id prefer something with the paint cup system (for topcoat) as it looks easier and every gun Ive ever used has lid sealing issues unless ultra clean (including spendy ones - but it has been near 20 years since I swung a gun on the regular..) Keen to get a new primer and topcoat gun. I see the R500 mentioned a few times. Are there any others to be aware of? Some links to some flavours that may or may not be good... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005767569627.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007522684126.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008554572711.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010376291854.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006577132597.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006633806561.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010439258830.html Also interested in where people are buying their paint from. I usually use our local place and the service is good, but shit paint is spendy these days..

I always love how efficient and well mannered my super snipe was on the twin 1-3/4 strombergs
