Clapped out

^^^^ebay.

Awsome, you can't go wrong if you go out of town a little bit, bigger blocks means bigger shed, ha ha!

Welcome! Looks great! Wouldn't have thought there would be too many of these left in the usa, cheers!

Keen to see update pics, and welcome to queensland! cheers!

How is the progress going with this beast? Did you get the engine back together? cheers!

Very tidy I must say, well done!

Your only suppose to see rust like that up here in qld in the sub tropics!

12mm x 1.5

Fantastic effort! Those number plates are a nice touch too, At least this is one project out of the way and done for now, cheers!

A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay...............

Gemini/Datsun adaptor plates, same bolt pattern, cheers!

Congrates! That's awesome news to hear you got a roady! Not long now hey!

Spot on, 55's have a deeper bucket.

Thanks for the reply guys, i's be looking into it further, cheers!

Hiya guys, As the title states, I'm not sure as to which brand to buy, I've never had any experience with this sort of product before and as a first time buyer I'd like to get it half way right. I guess they're all designed to carry out said job. Anyone who has had both good and bad experiences with different brands, I'd like to know, I wan't to buy something that works!! Low down, engine was rebuilt 10+ years ago, only done 20k before removal, upon inspection there is a fine/thin film of black over all internals, no major sludge of any sort. Feedback would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

Any new updates craig?

who knows......

I could be wrong in saying this, by looking at the photo's, I suspect the passenger side rear rail is bent too, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Or you could just get a whole brand new one made up, there is a place on the northside here where I get mine done, usually cost around the $80 mark, just tell them what you want and they'll make it, cheers!

^^^^^^seriously?

Not cool, another one bites the dust hey?

Yes for 5k, never tried with a 7k, cheers!

Food for thought, Positive battery terminal, has two main wires that power the whole car, possibly bad connection on one? Just weird that only half the stuff in your car is working, cheers!

Sorry for hijacking the thread, just replying to mech, I just recently redone an early dash myself, using expander foam in a can, hacksaw blade, plenty of sanding and wrapping it in vinyl, oh and also shite loads of fast grip glue, cheers!
