my kexx wagon had this type of issue i swaped out the neddle and seat (std carby thoe) new pump plugs and leads, only to find that it was the capacitor below hope it helps

paint stripper is an option however this may burn the metals on the rim. sandpaper and a carefull hand would be your safest bet mask up anything u don't want to hit, prime than paint don't use to corse paper thoe u don't want to scratch the metal to bad otherwise this will show threw your topcoat however some picks would give us a better idea of what your asking for

if the battery is stuffed there usualy is a black residue on the inside of the fillercaps on the battery. however check ur terminals for corosion and work down the line earths, fuses, conections, check anything thats been fitted recently headunit wiring and the like.

Looking good, keeping an eye on this one the joys of a new find :laff:

Three peice exhaust joins at bottom of manifold/ at bothsides of cat/ and before the diff/ put in new head unit my wiring from unit to my specal wiring loom no more fires inside the car from walking soldering irons all the lights now blue no more green head unit

ill have one for me and one for every other sr here its so sexy ill have one in L0G1 PPG thank you

off getting exhaute done now 2.5in Engin bay done EXCEPT A/C NOT FITTED YET pick of pump placement

being a painter i get blokes from the welding shed send apprentices up to get a can of overspray, Then there is vasoline on all the door handles. makes them hard to use when you have got gloves on, taping the filters on the masks so the warer can only breath out, glue all the aprentices belongings to the celing, cover a car in washabe booth coating then paint it red, washes of with a pressure washer see. The owner freaked we had a good laugh thoe, match head in a cigerette he nearly shit him self when it went up and the list goes on.

JMD 55 hit it on the head ive had a really small budget from day one. SR20DE I'm fairly skilled with the tools and still hit well over 8,000 and havent got a turbo. Still have to convince an engineer to say yes which could cost 1000 anyways. If it dosent work out at least you gave it a go.

standard strip on mine looked like this nothing over the top Sloth's pic sorry i borrowed it bud

strip it, media blast it, soda blast it, sand it. :blush: don't sit there and scrape at it with a damn razor blade thats somthing a work experiance kid would do... :hmm: people and there strange ideas. if its been painted its been done to hide somthing strip it and start with a bare shell.

hope this is what your after :blinks: Had to make my own :blinks: everything added onto my car (engine conversion only)in a picture. excludes a few things like radiator, thermos, air box, etc inside the dash redone. full digital readouts :jamie: DRIFT: IRIDUM FUEL GUAGE BLUE DIGITAL 2in IRIDUM OIL PRESSURE GUAGE BLUE DIGITAL 2in IRIDUM WATER TEMP GUAGE BLUE DIGITAL 2in IRIDUM SPEEDOMETER BLUE DIGITAL 3.3/8in IRIDUM TACHOMETER BLUE DIGITAL 3.3/8in floor and seats also redone Floor PR01817 CFC MOULDED CARET PLUSH AUTOBARN WAGGA WAGGA $239.00 seats by Riverina Custom Auto trim & Upholstery Wagga (they changed the name to this) $880.00 boot remodled the engine bay last time i worked on it
