Torker Man

Would love to see eome pics of the day

Bitchin work on this one..Your patience is awesome!

Thats cheap!! considering the exchange rate and all!

So a quick update for y'all... Was starting to look a little sad... ..So we gave her a blow over in Classic White And gave her a new set of boots too! I was worried about the charchol centres on these rims, but actually really like the look! (IT'S STILL ON THE JACK - LOOKS HIGH) Thanks, Adam.

This isn't a bad read either! Great stuff nigel. http://www.alumilite.com/howtos/TailLightCastingNoEquipment.cfm

Sweet!!!

I love this thread!! Let me know if doing some kits to sell!!!

The paint is flat black. Its called Metal Amour by TREMCO Love this stuff! You can put it on real thick, goes off nice and hard, no primer needed!! Also unlike others I have used, it sprays evenly right untill the can runs dry. Thanks for the lights heads up mate

Damn!! I was just going to bleach mine.... Thats intense!

Just a small update.. Restored the grille, new paint etc.. grille fitted... some minor rust works, ...some extra parts that i came across.. This is a 4dr rear section, I actually like the look of these lights better (Not sure if 4dr panel will fit coupe??) But was planning to do a JDM tail light mod (change reverse light for second stop/tail, then make the small brake light into a reverse light..) Spoilers from Kent (CHAMP!!) Just got to work out how to fit the front lip spoiler????? No holes in it, edge seems to thin to screw on? not sure on that one yet. Cheers! Adam.

no worries, will check wednesday when I am with the doors....

I rekon I can help Kent! I have 2 spare doors for my coupe, from memory all the hardware is still in them mate. Give me a few days to go and check it out for you. Adam

They look tough too!! My wheels arrive on the 6th so cant change them now, but may sell these of and go as you have done Flauski! Thanks for the info! They come in whole sizes only (no .5 in sizes) and offsets from +\- 0 - 25mm The 15 x 6 (+12 offset) I have ordered should look like this....

Thanks for the pics...I can work with that!

I used 'Metal Amour' Satin Black, Its a no primer needed Epoxy satin black. if you use std matt or satin black it will come off pretty easy, but the epoxy stuff seems to hang in there pretty well. I couldn't match theOG ones as all the paint had faded/washed off. Wiped the badge over with Metho, let dry, then a few good coats of black, then carefully wipe off the raised areas with a rag moistened with metho. DON'T USE THINNERS!! these are plastic and the thinneds with remove the chrome finish too! Am going to do my Grill this same colour, leaving the chrome highlights around the 2 grille openings and around the lights too. For the rear panel, I will look for a satin finish in a dark grey, black would be too much I think, BUT I will remove it and soak it in wd 40 for a day or too, this may bring the colour back enough for me not to have to paint it...and I will give the rear 240K GL badge the same finish as the front.

O.K, a couple of pics.. I restored all the badge work off the car. They were all faded and the remaining paintwork inside the badges was cracked and shitty, so gave them a once over. the large "240K GL" badge is usually a grey surround with white letters, but I went for black with White and Red letters. I used some anno paint in Red for the small GL ones, and it looks pretty standard, and hit the smaller 'Datsun' one from the bootlid with the anno paint over the crhome letters, and after I had re done the black. Happy with them for now

Don't want to braek it, so is there an easy way to remove this please?? Thanks. (Pic "borrowed" from another thread) Adam.

Fair enough mate,but here is the problem...$450 for mirrors!! no way, like I said in my first post, tight arse here!

Well I will be upfront and say i am a tight arse!! Have seen the following on US ebay for $19.99 plus $20 worldwide shipping. Any thoughts? What are you guys using for fender mirrors?? Thanks, Adam. Nissan 1200, 620, 720 utes.. R100, RX-3 etc KE70 Corolla...

Awesome! Thanks.

I dont mind that so much, just want to be able to see at night! so1 12v wedge LED globes?? Do autoibarn and such have these?? Thanks

Got the pic off JDM ledgends, it was a give away car from the US. hope this attachment works?? Its fooking cool as though!!!!

ha ha, yes it did mate, doors, g/box, pedal box, console, rear 1/4 windows etc.. How does yours look now?? Have you known Ev for long?? Adam

A cheaper way to go ITB may be to get some from a 4AGE 20v from a toyota wrecker?? grafted to a triple webber manifold?? Custom itb would be mega bucks I'd say?

Getting some bits together for the KHGC, got carbs, and some body kit pieces from a couple of good blokes here in this forum!! Cheers! And today I ordered my new number plates. I like the vic roads 3 x 3 plates, they have that old school look that I was after, and as luck would have it the combo I wanted was available, so I ordered them! Now I know that the chasis number goes KHGC110, but was limited to 3 letters 3 numbers. ...and besides KHG-110 looked better that HGC-110. Not bad at $295 when everyday slimline plates are $68 or some $^!#!
