  1. Had kings in the ronadore and my t18, Didnt have any issues. Will be going kings again in my ae71.
  2. Amen. Deep single hex sockets work well with exhaust nuts that are on long studs.
  3. Nice find, Good luck with the conversion mate. I'm doing the same thing soon.
  4. I replace the hinges on both front doors yesterday and today. Found more rust in the roof *sigh*
  5. I bought front pads, rotors, sway bar link pin bushes, t50, tailshaft, sandwich plate and new tapes to record on to over the past few days.
  6. Fixed.
  7. Bought a universal heater tap today. Doesn't leak. Radio works properly and so does the tape deck, cranking out Eric Clapton Fuel pump is fitted and running properly. All I need for a road worthy now is the front pads and rotors replaced, rust removed, fix exhaust leak and fit new door hindges to front doors
  8. I'm in the middle of making my mower run on hydrogen and just general tinkering with shit i shouldn't touch.
  9. What master cylinder is that ?
  10. Des

    Wtf

    I don't like the way that moose is checking out that Ae82.
  11. I found red springs in the rear, Pedders maybe ? Also have a mate looking for a genuine heater tap, We'll see how she goes.
  12. Dam heater tap is leaking in three spots, and I'm not liking my chances of getting one exactly the same. Also I cannot get the auto to leak, it did when I first got it but it won't. I found a spray painter to spray the bonnet and the rear end of car for free + cost of paint if he can spray some mustang parts in my shed. Des.
  13. Whole car got a quick polish yesterday. Fitted the 14 inch corona wheels and removed the rear bar, tail lights, fuel tank and mud flaps ready for rust removal.
  14. Ive got a seal you can have for free.
  15. Today's effort saw the spark plugs replaced, Coolant flush, Clean out the boot, Fit the wipers, Swapped over the window and reg to the LHR door, Swapped over parkers and did a bit of polishing. The heater tap decided to split and piss out new coolant while i was under the car tightening the auto cooler lines and the fuel pump leaks fuel on to the exhaust ;) The radio is stuffed, If you turn the volume knob or tuning knob the power cuts in and out. So the heater tap and fuel pump will be tomorrows effort A quick video of a cold start up. 1100rpm is its cold idle and the 1800rpm is me.
  16. September i think. I will double check tomorrow. The body will stay standard just need to finish off some rust work, just need to find someone to do it for me. My next door neighbor is giving me a few 22R blocks and some heads. Not exactly sure whats there but its a lot of parts. Tomorrow i well get it running sweet and hopefully fix the gear box leak.
  17. Motherf***er. I can't get any noise out of the dam thing but then again i tried the radio not the tape deck.
