thanks but im busy next few weekends.
work this weekend, camping in walpole following week then work next weekend
Man I love Walpole. Mum n dad's friends own the caravan park on the inlet. Funny Walpole stories. Me and my mate Jim rented a old van down there when I was 19, he's about 6'8" and 140kgs below zero temps. the whole bed on his end of the van collapsed snapped and dropped him on the floor outside he went crook and went to sleep in the landy with the engine on and heater running. I had beanie 2 t-shirt 2 jumpers 2 track pants 2 socks sleeping bag and sheets off all the beds. Wind was blowing in the hole like a hurricane and I nearly froze to death. Last time we went for Christmas. Took the gravel track down to the small rocky beach off the inlet. Family got out the car and charged to the beach. I opened the drivers side door got out and looked down at the massive f**king snake that reared it's head up and trapped me between it and the car. Just stood still for ages till it settled down then f**king bolted. Dad and I weren't catching much so took the dingy all the way out the inlet into the ocean. The outboard shit itself and we had to row the whole way back took hours, arms were burning for days. Have fun Trev. Still one of the best spots in w.a

+1 on beer after welding in this weather, nothin industrial like you bit still 2mm plates to 0.6 body steel.....

Did you mig or tig it? Butt weld with backing?

The plates come as direct fit so all we gotta do is clean and weld. Been running a small bead on the 0.6 first then turning the mig up to get a nice weld between the bead and the 2mm plate. Hot work inside the cars and u have to be careful u dont set fire to them lol

I'd be taking it back to the painter,  you payed good money to have the car painted properly. Maybe take the car to other paint shops and ask their opinion on what the cause would be (in their experience) before you go back, so that you have an understanding.  

I wouldn't accept anything but perfection, if that's what you were paying for.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
