Ok yeh that makes sence haha thanks mate

Looks like a good base

Thanks mate, yeh not to much rust, all fixable :)

 

Anyone know what I can use to get the grease and muck off my gearbox?

I have used paint stripper and a wire brush in the past and they have come up ok. Afterwards I give them a good wash off with water.

All the best

Got it done today just used degreaser, came up a treat will put pics up tomorrow

When we did the engine swap in panelvan, we took the gearbox down to the 24 hour car wash next to bp with some degreaser. We soaked it with the degreaser, and blasted it with the high pressure gernie till it was clean enough. Then brought it home, sat it in the sun to dry, and painted it silver. :)

oh can ya paint it?

Yeh I got it up clean and nice will put pics up soon

 

Here's a link to what we did. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/29071-joshs-ke36-panelvan-project/page__st__315 :)

The 3k has gone this mornin,

 

Took the carby, manifold, and exhaust off the 3k yesterday, so I put that on the 4k today looks alot neater with out the earth saving 4k carby and all it's lines haha
