Say hello to B2!

Here's B2

Formerly known as davenq's I think

Runs a 2.6 and a 5 speed, deleted balance shafts, 20thou over (0.50 on the tops), and some gh struts/brakes.

Plan is to throw her together and drive! Needs carpet (done and installed), and the head bolted up. A bit of crap to fix here and there, and on the road she goes! Nothing real special, and unfortunately, I can see this one getting a hard time (got my pretty one, need a thrasher now)

Nice one.
Keep an eye on 'em, those two get up to mischief.

took me a while, but I got it in the end

Got the head on, just done the bolts up firm. I need torque specs and sequences

Not sure...

But yea I'm glad I got it now

Got the head on and torqued up, painted the rocker cover and Installed a few other bits (alternator, radiator etc).

Also put the last piece of exterior on

the grille

Here's my purdy rocker cover

paint was there, thought I'd do it

Just need to sort out the ignition timing and a few wires here and there. Find a top rad hose that'll work and hope to start from there

That's a neat lookin little ride you scored.
What is the body like?

cheers

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:28 pm

Straight. Minus a dent on the rear left corner. And a small dent on the left front...

A plus side though? She has BOTH eyebrows! :O lol

There's a little bit of shity rust here and there. But really not too bad

Update!

Got her running

and... Some dopey bugger mixed up a water hose to a vacuum port on intake runner #4 :facepalm:

so she copped a belly full of water and spewed water out the gasket!

Hopefully no damage was done and all is well... The joys of finishing someone else's projects $:\$

...you know how some people 'can' do stuff but probably shouldn't?

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Mon Apr 28, 2014 1:15 pm

Yep... Good fun..

So ARP head studs are on order, a new gasket, and some block off bungs.. Should all be sweet by the end of the week maybe next

Also, might end up running some pepperpots under it yet

Mine went to Brissie, don't know if this is it. I put new carpet in mine ,the dead give away would be scorp seats on galant runners.I had interior rear blind and was very original.

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Sun May 11, 2014 1:12 pm

Nah found out its another members

was dnvgalant's

Not much happening at the moment... Waiting for money

got Mother's Day, mums birthday Tuesday, then my 22nd next Tuesday. Hoping to have her running again the end of next week (24th).

Meanwhile I've picked up 2 195/50r15 tyres, I've just gotta buy the 2 new ones (Falken ze912), and buy the wheels

going with pepperpots

I've only gotta get a head gasket, a couple 3/8" block offs, and the ARP head studs to get her running again, should be easy

throw in the radiator, bolt on the new rims/tyres, might make my new exhaust (bought a 12t pipe bender ;) ), and she can go for a roady

bruggz351 · Post by **bruggz351** » Sun May 11, 2014 4:25 pm

Sweet. Good luck it man...

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Sun May 11, 2014 4:59 pm

Cheers mate

Goal is to have her ready for, or registered by the end of this month.

But we all know, you double thermite needed to reach the goal when dealing with a project

bruggz351 · Post by **bruggz351** » Mon May 12, 2014 10:36 am

Ya not wrong. Just don't cut any corners to get there sooner. I've done that in the past and found I never got those cut corners finished.

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Mon May 12, 2014 11:08 am

Yea I started to cut corners with my good gb. Took a step back and slapped myself. That deserves more than that, so I bought this one

the good one (or B1

), is too pretty for a daily, not to mention the paint is that thick that it chips with the slightest bump

This one will satisfy my needs to have a galant registered, and also keep me from mistreating and cutting corners on B1

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Sat May 17, 2014 4:35 pm

Pepperpots!

Will be wrapped up in 195s on Monday after a quick clean up

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Tue May 20, 2014 5:30 pm

New wheels and tyres? Check

Arp head studs on their way! Head gasket tomorrow possibly??

Will most likely need lower springs up front (see in pic...), about 8-10" of gap and some unwanted positive camber. I don't think a 20kg head will change much... Might even need adjustable strut tops also... See how it goes

Also.... My logbook was approved!!!

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Wed May 21, 2014 5:17 pm

Got some goodies today

just waiting on the studs now

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Thu May 22, 2014 7:01 pm

I GOT MAIL!

Tomorrow sounds promising

bruggz351 · Post by **bruggz351** » Thu May 22, 2014 7:24 pm

75glnt · Post by **75glnt** » Thu May 22, 2014 7:33 pm

New sticker

Then this happened $:\$

But all in all, she's running well

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E-_C7UFimA ... ata_player
Still no exhaust

gonna buy some 2.5" straight pipe and bend up my own

geezer101 · Post by **geezer101** » Mon May 26, 2014 2:54 pm

Better lay off the weet-bix when you get another rocker cover 75glnt

bruggz351 · Post by **bruggz351** » Mon May 26, 2014 4:19 pm

yep... May have been a factor $:\$

Not long guys... Got some lighting issues. Hopefully a parker bulb, and some headlights. While I'm at it I'm thinking I may as well throw in some h4 inserts instead of throwing good money at useless sealed beam

Then some tidying up here and there (undercoat patch for starters, then some light rust here and there, a skim of bog and a coat of paint). Will be getting some 35mm lowered front springs to even things up, gear shift boot, air cleaner (just a cheap shiny redline one maybe), and hopefully that's it

Quick tally so far of about $1k she owes me... Pretty cheap for a respectable daily

Also have a small but maybe unacheivable goal to have her ready by. The 11th of June. A mate is taking his car down the 1/4 and I wanna join him
