Do you know if cage is required? 

the escort has a cage doesn't it ...

scored this bad boy for 60 proper roller bearing slides ect heavy as all fuck 

quite sizable at 790w x 440d x 575 h

tbh if he has more tools than cabinet at that size 5k is probably a small chunk of change compared with whats within

ok so wee while between updates I blame the crap weather we have had and a busy schedule things have slowly been happening. Manu is currently modifying my aframe to work with the car so i can tow it round. 

I scored a bunch of bits off a guy I know that came off his old etude that he wrecked he was hording for that "one day"  he gets another that  that resulted in this happening much earlier than I expected they call it the vr4 conversion. Basically its 266mmx22mm vr4 mitisi rotors over mazda bfmp hubs that get machined to take the rotor over the top instead of bolted behind and then you use gtx calipers .

the rotors were almost brand new but needed skimming as they looked like they had sat in the sea but came up ok , the calipers are refurbished with new seals and the hubs had been modified and had longer studs put in the only bit I needed to get was some bfmp caliper bolts that weren't that easy to track down but I got there.

form this  

To this 

also scored a strut brace 

While I was doing the brake upgrade I poked at a scabby patch that someone had put on and found a large rust hole so I was trying to find a patch panel from another car to make it much easier. I Hadn't seen one at pick a part in some time so I was trying a few other avenues and crustywhip said there was a KA laser at pick a part so I went down and liberated it of the section I needed it put up a good fight.

here's the patch ready to get cut up after i removed the spot welds here to remove the chassis rail its triple skinned here I dollied it back into shape after all the removal from the car and drilling it and cold chiseling it got a bit deformed

Once that bit of rust is fixed its ready to race took it for a test drive after doing the brakes and they make a big difference will be better when they have some quality pads in them and it was my first drive since rejetting the carbs months ago man it runs way better more mid range. Have to get my o2 sensor bung fitted so I can see what the afrs are doing. 

To be fair ive used and abused my supercheap 25$ grinder pretty hard and it hasnt died yet

im just sayn but id pay extra to get my lawns done by a guy who showed up in a mk2 panno

I've had a stanley socket set and ring spanner set last me about 8 years,

 

weekend only work,  leveraged off the spanners n ratchets a few times too and have only broken the 17mm ring spanner.

I have a anodized black set of 3/8 and 1/4 inch deep and normal wall sockets with a few spanner and they have been awesome had them for 4-5 years haven't broken any yet 

ect...

yea a sabre saw would do it it just zip it off up by the firewall and by the front panel through the chassis rails at both ends too. 

As of yesterday:

I had no time or tools but is that the one you wanted the parts off?

YES!! yes that is the one i need a passengers side inner wing off 

There was one quite a while ago but i didnt see one last time i went

inner guard as in just plastic arch liner? If i get there tomorrow i'll check it out

the actual inner guard / front quarter mine is turns out is very very rusty would make life far far easier to repair with another panel

So there is a KA laser listed at zebra onehunga and im trying to get a complete passengers side inner guard for a ka laser or a mazda bd and having no luck here . Will pay cash for someone to go get said inner guard and send it down to Wellington?

Anyone keen?

id say that would only happen if you used really small rope id say you would want the biggest diameter that can fit in the spark plug hole and still get it to feed in

Wet clutches tend to stick when sitting for ages. Start it in gear and go hooning with your hand on the clutch lever for a bit. It should eventually unstuck.

my ag100 does this if i haven't ridden it in ages pops free easy enough after a meter or 2 of riding

I was more referring to the peice steelies was lookin at cutting off turning the triangle upside down vs flipping it backwards then ending up with mdd side out.

can you do this?

 

 

edit, nah that bit will need to face MDF outwards. lame.

would work it you turned up upside down wouldn't it?

if its this month im unlikely to make it next month however probably , Manu is currently fabbing my a frame up so i can tow the mazda places. no wof or reg but meets sch A and I need to get my license again since I let it lapse.

when is this ?

How much?

people used to fill toyota ae 92,101,111 mounts full of sikaflex due to them breaking to make them more robust
