I just put a set in my BA falcon, they are REALLY good. Don't know how your AEs will go as they have older wiring but these are worth every cent as they give a very bright slightly blue light. I'd buy one set and give them a go.

I would have to agree that Lincoln are one of the best, but they are rather expensive for occasional home use, I recently bought a CIGWELD Weldskill 170 TIG welder. Forgotten how much, but it wasn't unreasonable. It's compact and goes as low as 5A, perfect for thin automotive metal. Tungsten welding rods are not cheap and you will need a few when you start out. You can also use it to arc weld, just remember to swap the leads over or else when you TIG, you will melt the tungsten rod, ceramic gas lens, collet and collet body, and generally end up wondering what the hell went wrong. Not that I'm speaking from experience. If you can stretch the budget to get an AC/DC model, you can also weld Aluminium. Hiring gas from BOC is a pain but heaps cheaper than the disposable bottles. All in all I'd say for auto body work, the low amps and neat welds of a TIG make it the obvious choice.

Looks a lot better than when I saw it in person after the spray gun problem. Will look even better when it's all together and polished up. All the best boys. P.S. those guards I got from you are STILL in my boot. Hate not having any spare time. Pete.

I use SP combo spanners and toolboxes, bluepoint ratchet spanners & sockets (awesome but expensive) and a mixture of others. Personally if I won Tattslotto I would have everything in Snap-on/Bluepoint because they are without a doubt the best tools I have ever used. My mate swears by Snap-on, in fact his home garage looks like a Snap-on truck just exploded in there, must be close to $20,000 worth. Snap-on make everything and I mean everything, from screwdrivers to full computerised diagnostic equipment.

I have a cable K-T too (finally)

cheers. still waiting on info from the US might look at dellortos while I wait.

While we're at it. What would be the biggest twin side drafts anyone would run on a hot 5k? (Supercharged). I have no idea as I have always worked with down drafts (mainly Holleys). Sorry to the OP for butting in on your topic. P.S. I have found a company in the US (Webercarbsdirect.com) very cheap, (45dcoe US$349.95)just sent them an email to see if they will post to Aus. Will post on here if/when I get an answer.

Pure gold! My mate has an Exeedy heavy duty clutch sticker on the back of his skyline. Funny thing is, it's an auto!

Spewing to hear the bad news. Just spent a good hour the other night showing a mate videos of this beast. He was suitably gobsmacked the whole time. Hope you get it going soon. All the best with the rebuild. Perhaps now you'll get some decent horsepower results.:wink:

Try this site www.ToyoDIY.com It has exploded views for virtually eveything including part numbers. Unfortunately it wont tell you if they are still available, but at least you'll have the exact part numbers when you call Toyota on monday.

Love that steering wheel. Will keep a close eye on this build, looks interesting.

Glad to hear it's been found. Hope your lawyer tears them a new asshole!

May I suggest a new sticker for poor souls such as myself, who at times, drive vehicles other than Corollas? Perhaps something such as this? OR Also how is payment made for RC stickers?

Thanks Philby. Will look into it further.

Anyone know what this 'formula 3 type head' is that the article mentions?
