Ants Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Small update....... A friend / club member of mine had diagnosed an issue with the clutch cooling fan..........the clutch fan was moving within the cooling fan not from side to side but forwards and backwards.............needless to say it had to get fixed. So I took that step today. After much debate and swearing in three different languages I managed to remove the cooling / clutch fan without removing the radiator cooling shroud (yes it's all possible) I didn't go unsaved though Anyways me being the clean freak that I am, I thought Id give the cooling fan a clean down Nice and dirty all clean The next step was to install this little baby Brand new clutch cooling fan Thanks to Zac (Cowdy) for procuring this item for me so speedily All fitted and ready to go back in its home That's it!

Ants Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Been busy paint stripping the rear bumper anyone know how to remove the paint from the bottom bit? It's rough like the front bumper lip so very difficult to remove cleanly.

Ants Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Also thought I'd tackled the shit spot welding on the back RHS rear quarter panel All smoothed out with my trusty powerfile Next will be a little sanding and then I will paint the rear panel in crystal white to make it nice and clean 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/24/#findComment-7222450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild31 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Are you going to do anything with the spot welds you grinder back? Wouldn't be much straight left in the welds, if there's any weld left. I can't tell exactly where it is on the car. Thought about some stainless rivets, or rewelding it completely?

I can't tell exactly where it is on the car. Thought about some stainless rivets, or rewelding it completely?nah mate, the way theses spot welds have been applied is pretty full on and there is enough of it left on the car to keep everything nice and strong. Should I feel the need for more bracing I would spot weld the entire car but it's not necessary...........for now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/24/#findComment-7222850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
