RUNAMUCK Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 And i wasnt kidding about those rust repairs. Id honestly forgotten how rust fucked it was before Josh weaved his magic. I actually felt disgusted with myself for letting a perfectly good car deteriorate so badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Not likely. Dads cousin would like to see it running again. Very unlike dad, he doesnt want a bar of it. Reportedly some other Barry has expressed interest in it. the tractors owner would be 80 ish. It was ran when parked. Although it appears some penis fingers been playing with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I might do both. Do you think it will attack the aluminium manifold/thermostat housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 ^ I ran the soda crystals in the Gemini back when we used to live in the same street Bart. I think I ran them in the car for a week, then dumped bottom hose, rinse/repeat and It ran clear. The Gloria just had 45min of back flushing when I got that (whilst running, dumping straight into the farmers paddock) - and it'd been parked for 15 odd years or whatever it was. Then it ran clean, however ultimately the Water pump impellor was rusted away & radiator still needed rodding out. I would just about put the shitty one back in and run it up to temp/cycle a few times with above concoctions then dump/back flush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otodat Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Yeah, put the old radiator in and perform a stationary cooling system test and it should be sweet, just remember to film it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otodat Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Actually I got some generic flush from repco and forgot to change it about 3 months, seemed to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXFORD Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Re: 620 diff. Do you recall what that 3.9 you scored came from? Thats a pretty rare find. If it was same axle spline then must have been from an old Silvia as the Fairlady Roadster and 1600 Wagons have smaller spines. If you come across another, let me know, I need one for my pickup.

RUNAMUCK Posted Friday at 20:38 Share Posted Friday at 20:38 Oh man, You could have been a cool kid, and started a discussion thread for my ute. I was just feeling sad that no-one cares enough to start one. I *think* it came from a diesel C32 Laurel.
