Does Canadian spec mean that when you press the horn button, you hear a voice yell out, "Oh, sorry!"?

Two 1968 Datsun 2000 project cars I will never get to. Yes I will clear out any junk in the cars to get them ready to pick-up but they need a good home to bring them back. $3000 firm for the 2 of them. No parting out at all. Price is firm otherwise they will stay yard art.

Down and dirty works, that's why we keep going back to it

So as CO has mentioned there is a longer side to the rear swing arm bushings. The longer side goes out away from the strut... I suspect this is why some people have had a hard time reassembling the rear suspension in the past. If you were to orient these incorrectly the space would be about .008" too small for the rear strut to fit into. I found a pipe laying around in my stuff that was very close in ID to the bushing but it was thin wall stuff So I cut two pieces of it and split one down length wise I then sleeved one inside the other and welded them together and welded around the lip for additional thickness My apologies to the other welders here @grannyknot @disepyon these welds are pretty ugly. I assume I didn't get all the galvanize off, oh well Dressed them down a little bit and tried them as an anvil... Not happening! I couldn't get the anvil to line up well enough to receive the old bushing. So I resorted to less elegant methods. I didn't want to burn them out because the pieces are already painted. So I took a drill bit and drilled all around them... Then I tore the center out with pliers Then I took my body saw and made some cuts through the remaining bushing shell and collapsed it on itself Pressing them in after that was a piece of cake Even though I couldn't use the fabbed anvil for removal it worked great for the reinstall. Today I worked on the fender repair some more and hopefully will figure out some bolt locations tomorrow...

SteveJ, You're partly right. It says "Oh Sorry" in both official languages.

Means you use Maple Syrup instead of 10W30....

Look in my "Lily" thread to see my spray boot. .4 mil poly and some 2x4's, an exhaust fan. Good to go. You will get better results inside the garage than outside. Also it would probably be better for you to be discrete considering where you live...

Good idea, perhaps electric door locks are next? Totally keyless? I rebuilt my seats with heaters. It makes a world of difference six months out of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

You could put red tape over the green tape. Would that be too much red tape ?
