    Acid bath recommendations

    I was speaking to my Dad last night who has been restoring cars for 25 years and is currently doing his own Renault 5 turbo 2 He wouldn't touch any form of acid dipping for many of the reasons already stated here, firstly the panels often seem to get "damaged" and any compensation they offer...

    Sikaflex? Tiger Seal? or something else?

    Any polyurethane based adhesive is only suitable for bonding glass to metal or anything that you want to be able to cut out. If you want to paint the fibreglass panel and not show a joint line you need 3m Panel Bond adhesive, its a 2 pack material but needs a special gun to mix and apply it. Its...

    This has got to be a joke

    THERE IS NOT ANOTHER RESTORER IN THIS MARKET PLACE THAT CAN OFFER THIS TYPE OF SERVICE, Hopefully what he means by this is that there aren't any restorers that can f*** up a car so badly and actually believe that they have made a good job of it!

    Weber Manifold Needed for pattern

    Skiddell I agree that motorbike engines give lots of power and little torque, mainly because they are not moving much weight they dont need the torque. However by altering the trumpet length, camshaft profile, valve timing, squish band, compression ratio, valve to piston clearance (bath plug...

    Weber Manifold Needed for pattern

    Hi Gary, I'm restoring a 240z and planning on putting it on motorbike injection. Just wondering if you would be prepared to sell me a set of raw castings un-machined as I will be able to do it myself and modify them to fit at the same time. Cheers, James

    Is this worth it? 1977 260z

    I should add that I am also a student and was looking for my first Z to restore, and as I have practically no experience (yet!) in restoration I was wisely advised to give this one a miss! Hope this helped you out, good luck!

    Is this worth it? 1977 260z

    Went to go and view this when it was owned by a gentleman in Bournemouth. I would honestly advise you to avoid this and see if anything else comes up. My father came with me to view it and though he has been restoring classic cars for 20 years or so he said that even he would think twice before...
