    hey looking for a paint code, would anyone happin to know what this could be ??
  4. 3au starter motor same as 2tgeu
  5. i just view the tig welded sitch like get something your local shop can repair and consider what material and its thickness you plan on welding. most common branded machines work fine mitech cigweld lincoln or miller are all ok machines and capable of achieving good quality strong welds. a cheap mitech handles the jandel pretty dam good, a lincoln or miller isnt really that much better imo
  6. due to the cars worth use a second hand chain and guides, new tensioner from wherever.. bm parts or bm workshop? thats the typical fix on old rattley chain m42s
  7. swwet as man its basic stuff making coilovers, all i was getting at is check with ya certifier beforehand to avoid an extra hassel. you can get bilstein sleave kits from autolign, big range of coilover springs too. crack testing isnt a big deal either its about 120 at sgs or southern assurance/institute
  8. yeah you need cert for adjustys if ya car didnt come with them from factory. tig and mig both do the same job thats pretty obvious shit. but i talked to wayne martin a couple days ago & he said "theres afew new rules it has to be tig welded and magnetic particle tested/crack tested" thats what im being told by the cert guy i use here in christchurch
  9. struts have to be tig welded and crack tested to pass cert these days
  10. basicly the same as any other cambelt, it goes something like this.. remove top timing belt cover rotate crank to tdc observe tdc marks on cam pulleys maybe loosen off waterpump pulley, remove ax belts etc remove R/H engine mount, suport engine if nessary rattle off main crank bolt remove crank pulley centre and lower covers loosen belt tensioner bolts push tensioner back lock bolt back up remove cambelt and then reverse order to assemble, can ensure belt is fitted correctly by spinning engine round twice and geeking marks, make sure tension on belt is right. check condition of ax belts etc can replace tensioner bearing water pump any leaking oil seals if you want.. its up 2 you

  12. the problem is that proper window sealant is designed to stay kinda runny so it tends to leak out and make a mess around the seal/on paintwork. its beter not to use sealant if you can but if you got hard rubbers or gaps use sealant no doubt
  13. Sweet thought i might start sharing something for a change. Weather you got a valiant or old toyota its the same deal it should take no more then 3-4 minutes to install a rear window..... u need some soft rope, i didnt have any this time round i ended up using an internet cable put the rubber seal on the window and run the rope inside the seal lip all the way round finishing at the bottom centre. now sit the window in the car with the rope on the inside slowly pull the cable out and the lip gets pulled onto the inside of the car, go all the way round youll probly find it easy to finish the last bit off in one of the bottom corners. done
  14. cut some rust sorted the pedal box & the heater pipes out accel cable etc just a whole bunch of little jobs welded a different bracket on the pedal box so the steering column bolts in the centre not off to one side like it did pedal also hit lip spoiler off 85 20v sporting gold stacks
  15. they flood easy too. put ya foot flat on the pedal and winde it over for ages, hook up some jumper leads if you have too. i wouldnt bother pulling egi fuse or anything. plugs will be wet, shitty old s.plugs dont help either, you can check one if you want. next oil change use promar mbl8 as per instructions
