with the auto brake pedal you could just mesure the size of the manual brake pedal and cut the auto one to suit :hammer:

 

i was thinkin maybe just adding abit onto the edge of the pedal and take a nick outta the manual pedal cover then weld a couple of bits onto the edge of the manual KE70 pedal then ya laughin then all you would need is the master cylinder and bobs ya uncle fannys ya aunt

I will start this separate project tomorow fellas

 

Might be a great bit of income for me to use on ae71

 

Cheers

sounds like a plan will wait to hear something about it

OK

 

Havent had time to look at pedal box, that should happen tomorow ish

 

BUT

 

Today I pulled out the fuel tank so that I can feel safe when welding and cutting anywhere on the car without fearing to blow up :hmm:

 

Then i got stuck into sometihng ive been meaning to do for a bit since i was very tired and cbf starting rust work ahaha...

 

Polishing

 

I decided to do the first layer of polishing on the surge tank i got given, so i took all the taps out of it got stuck into it on the polisher

 

Turning out nice so far, needs two more layers with softer polishing wheels then i will clear coat it :P

 

And i got started on polishing the cam covers too

And here are some photos of the car as it sits now

 

And its current rust situation, note i didnt take photos of any panels because I'm changine all the doors and panels and most likely the one aorund taillights to the panels off the stock beige one i have, then scrap the beige one unless someone wants it??

 

Anyway here are the pics:

Heres a thread i saw this afternoon that shows it pretty good, thats roughly what i do at work, they are doing it a bit more on the cheap but certainly a great turnout :P

I know theres heaps!!!, gonna try to use as little bog as possible, gonna speak to my panel beater tomorow and ask him what he wants me to do as he will be painting it :P

 

Cheers for the comments

 

Travis

why don't you just turn the camera the other way when taking tha photos lmao

Not that easy, Since its my shitty camera phone things don't fit in or arent visable when i turn the phone around and i cbf rotating the photos

 

I should use the camera i got given for my birthday but i always forget to take it to the workshop

 

Travis

about going to fiji

 

good luck with parts, you can't find them anywhere

 

you see the cars on the road but now at the wreckers, i spent 5hours going around in a taxi to wreckers/part yards and got nothing. the only thing i found was a pair of metal bumpers bars and they wanted $500 so that wasnt happen

 

there car over there are highly taxed so parts arent cheap
