Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hey Troy. Welcome. My missus just works behind you at the child care centre and owns a marine blue 33 4 door. I have a white 32 4 door. I know the owner of the servo for years and years. Top bloke. One night boys I will organise a meet, just been very sick lately and haven't had much time of a night to hang around. Hang in there as it will happen I promise.

spotted Brad in the 32 4 door heading up Buchananans Rd. just now. nice clean looking car :thumbsup:

finally got the new engine in the little ladies Beetle. once its run in and tweaked properly I'll have the liner back in my hands more permanently.

Wednesday at the BP's sounds good this week. but i think we should give somewhere around northlakes a go maybe?? should be parking and some eats there somewhere. gonna look into a good spot some time soon...when i get a moment to think in between doing stuff.

clean is the under statement of the century... :D

its (ummmmm cant find the words) super duper clean...

Ultra shiny?

I have badly damaged my back so someone is going to have to drive me on wendsday night. (I can barely limp atm)

for sure.

ive done many a large amount of Body work in my time, but the older brother is normally the one swinging the spray gun when we paint cars......but hes in Wagga atm doing his military thing...soo chances are that wont happen for a while anyways.

What were you in???? I have morning face on and everything is a blur. Some mornings I don't know how I got to work lol. So if you had waved I apologise man. I have seen a black 32 coupe along the same road every morning. Very clean as well.

LOL Col. I'm a clean freak YES. Bit pissed off with the rain this week. Made the car look rather shitty. Spent close to 3 hours cleaning it this morning.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
