Made myself a solid lifter ready for the forthcoming head job.

You're lucky, you get a head job.

Mainly preparation time.
I cleaned all the old paint off with thinners.
Etch primed and repainted and clear coated.
Easy to do but time consuming.

Cleaned the vert today

teacherspet · « **Reply #1533 on:** April 08, 2015, 05:42:15 pm »

I pulled the front panels off the vert, ready for the new paint job.

put a chrome dress up kit on haha just kidding, cleaning up the engine bay, previous owner did a horrible job.

awesome tech tip, if your to lazy to take the dizzy out like me and need to tape up round things, aluminium foil wrapped around them saves alot of taping and time

it conforms and holds it shape really well.

I just put a plastic bag over mine when I painted the engine, with a cable tie to hold it on and tape to keep the lines clean...

I bought a new air filter from Supacheap. my mechanic will have to modify it to get past the distributor. It should run better, I started with a small filter and it spluttered, I went to medium sizer and it roared but has a flat spot, the larger filter should allow it to breathe fully and make sure I completely wear my tyres out, creating large holes in the bitumen when I floor it.

Well this wasn't strictly done today but it was finished this afternoon. Heat and sound deadening on the floor pan, Vintage Air A/C installed and Dakota Digital Cruise control added to the instrument cluster network. Oh yes, while the seats were out had new seat upholstery installed as well.

R_Beckhaus · « **Reply #1539 on:** April 15, 2015, 08:33:22 pm »

I visited mine at the Sparky's. It's away being improved and repaired electrically.

Mustangpaul · « **Reply #1540 on:** April 16, 2015, 10:01:02 am »

My vert is at the mechanics, I'm having my battery cradle and surrounds repainted, as the old battery was leaking acid. While he's at it he will make the larger air filter fit.

Just checked my Decode sheet and realised that I missed a 50th birthday. Our coupe was built Feb 3 1965. Dont know why but I kept thinking it was May.

Spending the day cleaning the S code

PS: If anyone is installing a Scott Drake HiPo alloy 24" radiator, you will also need a new upper radiator bracket and matching insulators. The old bracket will not fit unless bent and reshaped as the radiator is wider and a little shorter.

Nice,
So what size and brand are they.

SMH00N · « **Reply #1547 on:** April 17, 2015, 07:33:34 pm »

They are the Dynacorn 15 x 7.

I shrunk the photo too small but they do look good.

At $1,195 for 4 landed I'm pretty happy with them.

Good price , so are they steel or alloy?
They look like alloy in the photo.

SMH00N · « **Reply #1549 on:** April 17, 2015, 08:39:59 pm »

They are alloy, polished and painted matt black. Include low profile centre caps with just a blank emblem but they will fit one of the dashboard emblems I think
