i reckon it'd be better if i got some 0.6mm wire. i'm currently using 0.9mm.

its getting easier though.

 

hmm fibreglas n bog... that what i did!!! (hangs head in shame)

 

but now its getting doen properly!!!

 

thanks for the comments guys!!

Gas mig it or braze them on sounds like it would be a bit better than gasless mig. Could do it the old school way and lead wipe it :y:.

 

Really love the progress. glad to see everythings being done the right way.

haha

lead wipe

i've seen that been done before

its freakin awesome how it works

from what ive seen theres alot of skill needed.

thanks man!!

yeah gaslees is the only thing i got access to in the portable fashion.

i really wanna learn tig!! that would be ideal!!!

although oxy is easy enough but i aint got bottles or know anyone with bottles!!

 

meh i make do with what i can!! seems to be going ok though!

Yea, thats how everyone starts out, making do with what they have.

 

I totally forgot about tig. You could braze even with a Bernzamatic propane torchy thing.

 

Might have to ask work nicely to use the tig welder one friday arvo. Really have to strart kissing ass, iv still gotta make my supercharger mounts and now guards :y:

hey all not really an update but i've decided to streamline my car a bit!

the rear vents are gonna be shaved!!!

 

thanks to Jaymz

this is an approximation.

will be straighter of course!!

fark yea car looks nice man

 

and you have same clarion sticker as me in same spot!!!! yeewwww clarion!!!

It doesn't look too mad but I personally would keep the vents. Better yet stick in KE30 vents, maybe the early ones with the chrome stripe.

DUDE lead wipe that shit!

my stepdad is getting his hands on some when he does the body of his commo lol!

only prob is that you need a mad ventilation setup appartently!

 

oh and

GET ON WITH IT :P

how will you be venting the cabin pressure in the car?

 

i think youll be suprised at how much force will be tryin to push out ur rear window when youve got your window down doing 100km/h.

 

 

cheers, scott

We removed the vents from my ke30 a few years back.

 

Cabin pressure is certainly not a problem, mine has new rubbers all round,

but you will never get an old car to seal well enough to create a problem.

 

IMO it looks good, but getting the it straight is NOT easy,

after stripping mine back to bare metal recently, i have spent 3 weeks of afternoons on each side!

I tried lead wiping the acids and flux's used can for a lot of damage if you don't clean well. lead is also not good for you.

 

With the MIG welder have you considered disposable one litre argoshield gas cylinders .

The disposable cylinders cost around $35.50 each no rental.

hmm i figure it would be hard! but it beats trying to fix the rust around the petrol filler.

and my opinion is that it makes the body look cleaner!

but.... i'll be doing it..

i did think that maybe cabin pressure might be a prob maybe some hidden vent behind the bumber bar or something??

i dunno.. but nissan man if you reckon its no biggie then yeah i'll be doing it!!

 

 

as for the mig... its working so i'll just stick with it!!!

get on with it
