nice job on the parcel shelf, probably something i should've done, but oh well, should also add a bit of stiffness there too, but since there's going to be a cage, that wont matter :)

Coming along nicely, gotta hate whinging neighbours too

Took me while to do the shelf but it payed of in the end, i was very happy with flatness over that large area.

Will probably paint it there too, can i ask you SR20 Datsun what brand of 2pac did you use.

Cheers Mark O

I used Standox high opacity white for the 'final coat'
but for the touch ups, I used 'Protec' from Eastern Auto Paints.

The 'Standox' is great stuff and so is the 'Protec'. Just make sure you use a good primer. I cheated and used an industrial grade 2 pack primer. Ameron (sold by All Cars Paint supplies). Their paint is fantastic for rust prevention.
They sell a primer that has zinc oxide and a few other nice bits and pieces in it.

File comment: Basically most of the rust is gone, just some panel beating and panel fit required and finishing of the valance. This one will be the same colour as my other one. Slowly getting there

Gday Mark

I remember you on the "old" Ozdat email list from "wayback". Weren't you the man who carried gearboxes on his head?

My 1600 wheels are now on the road as you see. Love driving in it!

Hi Richard,
I think that was someone else but i do vaguely remember that someone commented about carrying gearboxes on his head, that could of been my brother Craig, I remember using some of your weber jet recommendations, that you posted up years ago.


Cheers Mark O

Nice 1600 Richard.

Thats me.

I am still into Webers, but Mikunis also are getting my attention at present.

The 44mm Mikunis are a surprise, they perform nearly as good as webers. I just bolted a pair on, balanced the butterflys and set the idle mixtures - no jet swaps, no flat spot, no back firing, and just as easy to start. I see why they are popular in the US.
