Find your local paintless dent removal firm and get a price from them. A lot cheaper than a panel shop.
If the sealer between the roof braces and the roof has proken,get some Sikaflex 255 adhesive and run a thick bead between the braces and the roof. This will fix a lot of the floppyness problems.

Dave,I wouldn't lower it too much..the ride quality will go out the window. My XD ESP that I had was fitted with Bilstiens front and rear,Selby Front coils and Phase 3 rear leafs and was only 50mm lower than factory. It rode like an absolute bag of crap (although it handled like a race car). My GA o...

I painted a few of my old R/C boats a similar colour to your Sig,but in Clear Over Base and added 25% Lilac Pearl tinter to the yellow. When it was cleared,the Lilac showed through as a pinkish tinge in the yellow. I also painted a Suzuki 50 quad for my mates son in that colour and added some PPG Pr...

Dave,not being a smart ass,but a 180B is a P610. A 710 is like an oversized 120Y in appearance and there are only a couple in Oz and they were private imports.

I am not aware of how it would or wouldn't be, my point was it is NOS rare factory parts. This is the sort of thing people will be killing for in 10 more years. 18 years ago I sold my XA GS Fairmont Coupe for $1500 because no one wanted them, if I had it now it would be worth $30,000 as it was. Now...

Nice to see the specs for a #5 cam listed. Might be able to get one ground to replace my stolen one

They are available,as our mechanic disassembled his B45s for me to paint. Rather than get shafted by Strap on,try an engineering supplies like Blackwoods or similar. They carry a pretty good range of specialty tools.Worth the phone call.

I am not sure if it was that car or not,but years ago,there was a TV ad for Sigma that showed a much modded,winged and flared Sigma doing a hot? lap of Bathurst. Anyone remember it?

My Dear Friend,I can assure you that I am no stranger to a die grinder,a sander or even a body file.I did my apprenticeship on Ferarris,Porsches,Lambos,Rollers etc. The next 10 years of my working life was as a Painter for one of Australias leading Vintage and Classic restoration companies. I then s...

amgis_obrut,all I can say is that you are an absolute tosser. have you ever worked in a paint shop? have you ever done any spraypainting professionally? Have you ever had any formal training? Mate,my mothers Commodore has taken me 6 months to paint so far and it is still in primer.Why.because I just...

I have been using 2pack since the early 1980s and have used most brands. One of the best to use <I found was actually one of the cheaper brands,Protec. Most of my 2Pack usage was euther Spies Hecker and Standox. I am not really biased towards Acryilic as I have won concourses with both. I did a TA23...

a good painter will get as good a job if not better with 2 pac as anyone can with acrylic and it will last alot longer and be easier to maintain. the amount of peel you get depends on a range of things from thinning ratios to heat and air pressure. That may be true, but I'm good enough to be able t...

and i bet if you put your mates stang next to Fitzy's 1600 the stangs paint would look like Carol Yager's bum No doubt it has brilliant paint but is that paint brilliant on every surface of the car and consistent in thickness with in a few micron[/quote] The 'stang is a national concourse winning ca...

My daily is normally a 1988 Telstar TX5 Turbo but it needs a clutch.Otherwise I drive the other halfs car,a 5.7l VX Calais fuel guzzler. I have a mint 37000mile GA Galant that my mother is using while I repair and respray her VZ Crumpledoor after she was hit by a kangaroo. The Galant will be transfo...

Great idea. Unfortunately,I won't be posting any pics of my Galant until it is finished. The car itself is a 1 owner 1971,1.5 Automatic GA Galant deluxe. I bought it from the origional owner when she had to hand her license in for .........$500. It is 100% origional with no rust or panel damage, I r...

I have to disagree with tandanus about sill panel repairs. Sills are an important part of the body shells integrity. The car will twistand sag with weak sills and will have greatly reduced side impact protection. Pillars,sills,floors and chassis rails should ALWAYS be fully welded,not only for your ...

Anyone who thinks 10k for a paint job is over the top, I gotta agree with you there some paint can be $1200 per litre I painted the engine bay only in my transit and it nearly cost a grand just in product alone, if i had paid someone to do it i think it would be about $2500 I know a bloke thats spe...

good point Dan. Anyone here actually do paint work? would be good to set up a service maybe for members here? im sure people would be willing to pay a decent amount and supply the equipment needed. 10 Grand for doing a paint job is bullshit, i find it silly how painters/panel beaters charge... i wo...

V8 would have to be a 351 4V Cleveland
6 Cyl. 2.4litre Ferarri ( 246 Dino) sound so sweet full noise
4Cyl....Definitely 4G32 with a #5 cam,twin 45s full noise in the forest

On the topic of swap meets,if anyone sees my 4.6:1 Lancer LSD,my #5 camshaft,my C2 pistons or either set of my sidedrafts,please let me know or at least get some contact details of the seller and let me know please. Would you like us to string and hang him from the short and curlies or wait for you...

one of the young guys that I workked with a few years ago put a mongrel 302 windsor into a GK sedan with a C4 auto. It was a fairly simple conversion that was done in a night (apart from the tailshaft) . Last I heard he was working at a custom bike and truck shop in West Gosford called The Chop Shop...

I bought a GA Galant in 1978 that was a fully prepared rally car. I had a ball with it over the next 4 years,running it in autocrosses,motorkhanas and a few rallies. I sold it to purchase my 2nd LJ XU1 and have just recently bought another GA (straight,rust free,37000 miles,one lady owner)to build u...

Unfortunately I haver no pics or serial numbers of the bits. They were all stuff that I have had stashed away from when I rallied my GA Galant 30 years ago. It was hard to find then,and near impossible to replace now. One thing I will say is,I hope the butterfly on one of the Webers comes adrift at ...

I was working for an aluminium fabrication firm and we had 99% of our work powder coated and any of the metallic,high gloss stuff was actually painted in Two pack. Go to a good panel shop and get them painted in 2K with a flex additive in it. The flex add makes the clear as tough as nails for some r...

I really hope that they weren't taken by any one here,but my mothers shed in Central West NSW was broken into last Wednesday night and most of my bits were taken. Stolen were 2 44mm sidedraft Solex carbs in a factory manifold with factory (grey oval) airfilter :@ 2 45DCOE Webers on LYNX manifold, Th...
