I think I'll struggle to find y oh guys if you're still out..

Hey guys, my dive course will run a bit later than anticipated so I'll see if I can meet you guys later on in the hills

Not sure what path I should take from here.... Do I go 2.6 or just put a little money into the 4G32b? Im thinking I might just get a carb and exhaust for the 4G32 at the moment and go for 2.6 down the track. I found a 32/36 DGAV on gumtree for cheap (Im willing to learn how to rebuild it) but I've g...

Thats perfect. Im keen.

Double post

I'm keen however I'll be diving (most likely in the morning) as part of my PADI wreck specialty so if you guys are still doing something later in the day I'll meet you in my GD

I'd be lying if I said that not an almost exact match for the green sprayed on A6m zeroes during ww2, it'd look awesome mocked up to match.. few rising suns here and there. Some exposed rivets etc.

Is there a spotted thread anywhere on here?? Took her out today (drove approx. 350km) around the place. As I was nearing home I spotted a white gc with stickers on the back window just out of littlehampton. Thought it might belong to someone here.. pretty happy with how the car ran, no overheating o...

What's the deal re belt drive vs chain drive? Obviously this car has a belt drive (and runs like a dream) but would a chain drive be better? At the very least this one needs to lose pollution gear and get a well designed exhaust

She's on the road! Took it out last night for its first drive, could not be happier!

What did you make the C-pillar covers from?

I'll come to the next event (as long as im free) with my GD.

Cheers for the tips! I decided against doing it myself in the end so a glazier is coming to do them on Friday morning. Cannot wait to take it out for a drive Friday arvo!

Ok so the guy I was going to get to do the windscreens is away for a month and I'll be damned if I'm going to wait that long.. anyone know a shortcut to getting the moulds back into the seals? Damn near impossible :( also, to glue or bot to glue? Seems like these window seals are adhesive free but i...

Got all the polishing done today and re fitted most of the bits and pieces. Doorhandles/locks and door trims to be fitted later (more than likely tonight).. Then glass in and she's done! Finally! Im probably going to pay someone to put the glass in unless anyone has any shortcuts..

Here's a few pictures from the last 2 weeks.. Primer done http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee388/billyd13/IMAG0226.jpg Paint done http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee388/billyd13/IMAG0228.jpg Clear done http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee388/billyd13/IMAG0230.jpg Clear under lights (straight...

Ok so it's all painted up. The colour is amazing, though I think is a few shades lighter than the original. I put down 3 primer coats, followed by 4 colour coats (total approx. 2 litres of paint) and 5 clear coats. Doing the final hit with 1200 followed by 2000 wet and dry after work tomorrow. I got...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on here... Well the car sat untouched for a good 2 years but its finally happening and will more than likely be finished within the week. I'll put some updated pictures up when I get around to it. I decided to ditch the idea of going black with it due to pa...

cheers mate thats helpful

thanks guys, all good advice and its all being filed away believe me. im getting super keen to get this thing back on the road and getting these wheels today has only made me want it more haha.
Thanks, Billy.

thanks heaps for that advice mate. I've never done anything like this before and im looking for all the help i can get lol. Any ideas about what looks like a cracked shit bog hole on the bonnet?
Thanks, Billy

well i picked up my wheels today, tried to put one on but found that i dont have a socket with thin enough walls to fit in the holes on the wheels. What would the best solution to this problem be? i figure a trip to u-pull-it and get some sigma wheelnuts? i need smaller ones basically, or an extreme...

well i found a set of polished pepperpots on gumtree with new tires for cheap so i got around those, and they will now be the end game wheels for the galant. if they dont look good i guess i'll just get something else.
Thanks, Billy.

...

did a bit more sanding today, the bonnet is all done, including the patch which copped the superglue. Another question for someone, i understand its bad to rub paint off the edges of the panels, just wondering whats the easiest way to get close to the edges of panels without rubbing the edges off? a...

this build is coming along amazingly well mate. best of luck with everything and i hope its all working out how you intended

well i had a crack for an hour or so tonight, got half the bonnet done, but in the meantime i uncovered this little bastard... :facepalm: http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee388/billyd13/Photo0155.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee388/billyd13/Photo0154.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/alb...

I dont particularly want to do a bare metal respray but some parts of the car need to go back to bare metal, as in the paint is badly damaged or something similar. I've no idea how to go about prepping this thing so what would i need to do? If the car has spots where it is just bare metal can i simp...
