cute wee gem

Most oversize pistons have +.20 or whatever engraved in them don't they?

Thinking about reboring the mini engine.. Heres a few questions 1. Basically why I started the thread.. Is it worth spending $350 or so just to go from 1275 --> 1330 or should I just spend the cash else where on the car? 2. I've heard a rebore is about $160 and oversized pistons + rings are about $180, are these figures about right? 3. For my new cam should I run NEW standard followers or go for a performance brand option?

^^ Fully agree, I used to be over at the forums of Club-K and Callum is probably one of the most helpful and knowledgeable people around. Not only that he has some mean projects and actually does the research

The correct spelling is with an E.. lol, the dictionary is your friend http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/matte

You're pretty much onto it, was also the Hillman California/n which was a single headlight coupe

Cool car man, whats the thing on the exhaust?

Fuck man its looking good, you strip the car with those drill things?, must have taken forever, wish I had the patients.. lol School holidays aren't to far away, you think you will get it painted by the end of them?, You're lucky that you found a damn straight car by the looks of it

ZOMG update #2 for today Thought the black was gloss and thought the silver was darker (can lids lie), but still should look good

This morning I painted the inside with some cheap black paint, got overspray hard but it made it look better as it may be a little while before I get carpets My camera skills ftl

Toucan ftw, best I've used so far. is the fibreglass stuff real strong?

Want to know the best bog for holes?, sheet metal + welder

Nutech ftmfl.. hate that crap, although it is quite strong I'll admit.. took me ages to get it off the mini cause thats all my mate had, and he basically wasted a whole tub on it.. angle grinded half of it, was piled up about 1cm... in completely straight panels he = mega n00b

My cousins, trade for beer ftw Dunno if you're talking to me about the business, but Hoopers Panel & Paint is the place I was on about, Todd (the guy who owns it) is an awesome cunt

And thats half the reason I do my own, The spray painter who lets me use his booth/get all my stuff from is a real good cunt though & his workers are real good too afaik

LOL!!, Won't be getting that vid out if they teach you how to bog sills with newspaper....

Mega cunt, cheers man.

nah the whole front, but the back is perfect he says.. but the roof needs to blend into the rear 1/4s

Ok, I'm gonna be painting a ae101 on monday and he says the arse end is perfect and wants me to blend the paint from the roof onto guards. How exactly do I got about this, I have an idea but dunno if it will work Help me Venga boy

Yuh, not exactly the most original idea, but my gearknob = super gay, and the piston should be spot on for size

piston = gearknob

Yuh, banana smoothie t37g turbo, makes smoothies in about 2 sec flat, although they will be carrot smoothies My cat almost spewed on me whilst writing that

The trusty Xenoah Chainsaw is going to be part of the project, and no I'm not chopping the roof off. I'll let you do the guessing

Cheers man, good explanation

Sorry to hijack thread, but lash caps are the little caps that sit on top of the valve, in the middle of the spring ay?, Not exactly sure what they do, can someone explain? when you re-grind a cam it obviously makes the lobes smaller so lash caps make up for this loss. What they are all depends on the engine.. on my falcon they are just wee washes that go on the roller rocker posts.. on a pinto they are little caps that sit on top of the valves to lift the rocker get it?

Got some doors off trademe, hopefully better than the ones I have now, definatly look better but will soon see.. then the paint process can continue also crank is away at engine rebuilders getting ground and tested
