Mmmm a very good point Dave. Maybe get the shell dip in Gal. Would cost a bit but, your shell would last almost forever. |

Or just do what I did, and put Fish oil in an empty body deadener can and loaded that onto the Shutz gun. And blasted it at 60psi into every seam and cavity I could fit the nozzle or a bit of hose (and most places where I didn't want it to go either). Fixed my rust issues for the inside of the car. |

Isn't Fish Oil near on impossible to apply paint too though? I guess paint the crevices first then apply fish oil after that? |

As I said, I'm sure there are ways around it. Just something to be aware of. I plan on doing the same (blasting rustproofing everywhere) on my car. My preferred rustproofing is a mix of fishoil and Tectyl. I like the body deadener gun idea. In the past, I've just cleaned fishoil up with prepsol before applying paint. I'm looking forward to seeing more body-prep pics. I love seeing resto's done to the standard this one seems to be. |

Well... been to much rain on days off to think about moving the shell.. so still no photos. I get my new motor tomorrow, looking forward to it. Fully forged S15. Going to add to it a nice GT3071, and Haltech Platnium 1000 ECU. Does mean I will have to sell my old motor. I will put up in the classifieds very soon... but will consist of S13 motor, 740cc injectors, GT2871r, Nistune, Poncams, clutch, New stainless exhaust manifold not mounted, and a Greddy inlet brand new never mounted. Also the loom to suit 1600. Made 226rwkws, which is not a bad amount in a 1600, very pokie!! Even the exhaust and dump pipe.... as I am replacing it all anyway!!! Motor had no issues when in car.. went a treat. Not sure on price yet, but for someone wanting to put a SR20 into a 1600... could be a nice easy way out! CHeers |

New motor looks tits, not going to much left originally from the car after you've finished. Keep the progress going |

Get an engine stand ASAP for your new donk fella. Last thing you want is it taking a topple. $50-$100 from Supershit. Do it! Very tasty mods by the way

Mate.. got a engine stand ut my other SR is on it. I will move it across to the wall and lan it a little towrads it. If if does roll, it will only go as far as the wall. The block will be repainted and the rocker cover. Might go everything black... I want around the 300rwkws, so the aove combo should get me there!! CHeers |

Well here are some pictures of the shell after dipping.... well its got some etch primer on it now, but you get the drift. I am 110% happy with the dipping. Cleans it up a treat.. all rust gone... more surprises found, but at least I know what I am working with now! Next car will be dipped as well... ![[ img ]](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Ackley6mmbr/Dato/IMGP0387.jpg) ![[ img ]](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Ackley6mmbr/Dato/IMGP0401.jpg) ![[ img ]](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Ackley6mmbr/Dato/IMGP0383.jpg) ![[ img ]](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Ackley6mmbr/Dato/IMGP0385.jpg) ![[ img ]](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Ackley6mmbr/Dato/IMGP0384.jpg) It looks like I will be going GT3071r external gate top mount with Haltech. WIll it be a pain in the butt for engineering with setup... what will be the issues if any?? I need this sh*t sorted befire I commit to anything... only want to buy once! Been checking out colours.... Saw a FG XR6 turbo today in that red, "SEDUCE" is the colour. pretty sweet and I think it will really suit the 1600. White might be out.... on my holidays will scuff up my spare boot and get a coat of the stuff on it!!! ![[ img ]](http://farm4.dealernet.com.au/stock/20100804/3D50EF5BA4EF42BDAA56C38E0C5F2DA4.jpg) CHeers |

For NSW engineering, who do you guys recommend? I do not want to drive to Sydney (I'm on the Vic/nsw border), but will if I have too... Anyone in Canberra? Cheers |
