Johno Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks guys, Took a break from doing work on the rolla tonight, I was painting a weatherboard house today in the sun all day so I'm buggered. On the way home i saw this Toyota Camry, I want that colour on my car. Maybe i shouldn't say that because I'll properly change my mind next week, Lol!

Johno Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) I sanded the rear plastic bumber down tonight so its as smooth as glass. And.....A guy at my work kindly gave me about 3 litres of 2 pac primer/filler so i can start priming some stuff very soon!

Johno Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Not much had really been happening with the rolla in the last 5 days. I think i had a brain wave though, My rear boot/door paint is in a bad way, needs to be stripped back to bare metal. I'm missing the plastic wiper cover inside and my rear demister isnt working because all the (wire) on the glass has been affected by the sun. So i was going to buy new glass which will cost heaps and strip the paint and buy a new cover. Brain wave is.. Buy a second hand door, just gotta make sure that the rear demister works. I might even get a series 2 door. Then i will have my numberplate lights under the rear spoiler rather than on the sides of the plates. All i will have to do is mask, sand and paint :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltwin Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 dude it's coming , i know i know but shes coming and that bonnet, i just about fell over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 He he, hope it doesn't rust up again! Got a question for anyone mechanically minded. :P I have started pulling out the old 4ac, got the radiator, coil, battery, air cleaner and other bits and pieces out. I want to take off the air conditioner pipes but i don't know what to expect. the air-con works shit hot ATM with the 4ac. I want to run air-con with the 4age but not sure what to do.If i take the pipes off for the air con, is gas going to piss out everywhere? or is there a one way valve to stop it coming out? Will i wreck the system if i take off the wrong thing? I want to take the pipe off the compressor and take out the inter-cooler thingo and all the other pipes to paint the car. Any help is appreciated, cheers, johno :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfunkt Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 since it works really well, you have two choices... leave it all there and spray around it... crack one of the lines to the compressor 'accidently' just enough to let the gas escape and disappear for a minute or two while it 'accidently' leakes out. then pull all the lines/cooler/dryer out. the a/c from my ke20 had very little gas in it, took a whole of 6 seconds for it to stop making a hissing sound :P dF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johno Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Thanks guys, I might attempt taking it off tonight. Edited October 12, 2008 by Johno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have just been told how toxic this Gas stuff is for the environment, Haven't cracked the pipes just yet (luckily).. I think will be getting a professional to come out to my place and DE-gas it for me. Just lucky i didn't open the pipes. I was so close to doing it today.. just couldn't find the right size spanner and didnt want gas everywhere.. I am glad i posted the question about this the other day otherwise i wouldnt have known how bad this shit is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
