dr.wylde Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 that shot of your trans covered in grime made me giggle.

kyteler Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Swiss Cheese Ltd. ? So much sand.. ..did you consider soda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 what you see is really the worst of the rust. Yea I considered soda but I could get sand with ease, plus there is about 6 different layers of paint/filler to get through so I went for the reuseable option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes the xm 180 pro. It's exactly the same as yours isn't it? Such a fine machine really, just doesn't seem to like it when lead seeps out of the part I'm trying to weld though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah same. Lead and bronze. Just been welding up another nissan gtr and lots of factory bronze has been used in joins. Stuff spits out when hit with welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Mayyyyyyte, that's my machine too, I think. My Nissan has ALL OF THE LEAD in the tops of the c-pillars. I'm going to melt it out and then use regular filler as it's a fight fucking cunt of a prick doodle. Coming along goodly, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Haha I just noted that 72 has had a high stop lamp fitted. I don't think that I'll ever need one as the complete rear if the car is a stop light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 l Not sure what year it is - different tail lights to yours, but 'Stranger Things' features this fine vehicle a number of times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
