Testament Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I was meaning on the diff side not the chassis, but i get the point/not easy. And well if you do that you cant go for the untubbed record at the drags then either! Quote
Gaz Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Im going to head into garage again after dinner and have a look.. gotta tidy up first tho! Fail. Yes yes to drawing of brackets. G Quote
Gaz Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Nah got shed clean and then failed with diff as I have a slight issue.... only have 4x axle stands and they already under car holding it up. Need another set so I can place diff under car centred and start playing/measuring. Might buy two tomorrow if I can get away from the desk. Gaz Quote
Alistair Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 You taken it to Matt at steam and sand? What sort of media did you go for on blasting? Quote
kiwi808 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Yes. I wold like to know about blasting cars as I will have to do my coupe in the not too distant future... Quote
Alistair Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Yes. I wold like to know about blasting cars as I will have to do my coupe in the not too distant future... Let me know when you do, will put you on to some of the better blasters in Northland, we supply most of them. Quote
Gaz Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Car being dustless blasted so panels ain't warped. Using recycled glass or garnet? as media and water plus inhibitor. dont think too many places in nz doing process yet, us its big. Quote

Alistair Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Ah yeah forgot he bought a farrow wet abrasive machine we do em to www.geo-blaster.com Not many people have them as they're like 30-40K dependent on model haha. Quote
Gaz Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Oh true; ya link dont work for me tho, try again, keen for looks. Quote
Goat Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 You're hammering through this project gaz! Also, where are you getting panel and paint done? What were you quoted for panel and paint? How much was the blasting too? (you can pm me if you don't want to post on thread) Quote
Gaz Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 PMd Yeah weird aye, actual progress on a car! Gaz Quote
kiwi808 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Gas, I would also be interested in how much the blasting cost. A discreet PM is fine! Quote
My name is Russell Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Hey hey hey GAZ, next time you speak to your man can you ask him how much to do a Honda C90 frame. The money pits looking good too! Quote
Gaz Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Seems heaps cats want an idea on price. Lets say: To strip a whole car back to bare steel (including underneath) using dustless wet blasting & then to epoxy prime is about $2500. Then ya panel man price would be dependant on the rust/dents but maybe say $1500 Then paint would depend on what product you use but lets say another $1-1500 Ill hit him up Chris, havnt talked to him since he took the car though.

17fps Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Ok, here's mine which looks the same. It's supposed to be an old (i.e. '70s) 13b but i can't really tell except that the "Mazda" logo on the housings is the old style. Measurements are taken from the flange surface on the seal that mates against the corresponding surface around the dipstick hole, to the nearest mm and as best as i could with a tape measure. From seal flange to "F" end of crosshatched area = 234mm From seal flange to "L" end of crosshatched area = 265mm From seal flange to end of dipstick = 274mm Quote
Gaz Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Fukn ledgend! I was just looking through service manual to figure out how much to pu in... now I dont need to. Cheers bro Gaz Quote
My name is Russell Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Two 4L packs should do the trick Gazz Quote
