Shiny! Mmmmmm

Outstanding! Oh and by the way, Welcome Back.

Like many others I'm loving this thread. Your skills make me feel inadequate but it's great to know there are people out there that can do what we wish we could. :thumbup: I'm just going to stand in the corner for a little while now and try to think where I went wrong. :sad: Cheers!

Thanks Tom. I know of one guy who went to see a TR4A advertised for sale and when he got there it was actually a TR5 (a 250 with factory fuel injection). He tried to tell the vendor that his ad was incorrect but in the end he purchased the 5 ($$$) for 4A ($) money. Win! :rocker: Why can't we...

Thanks for the advice guys. With the baking soda do I just mix with water - ratio? - and brush it into and over the floor before rinsing off? How long do I leave it on before rinsing? Hi Simon. As a fellow 6-Pack'er I was sorry to see your 6 go - I always loved that car - and I'm sure AL is...

Hoping you can help me. The photo attached shows my 25 year old garage floor and the "erosion" or "corrosion" that is happening. I've been building a new race car and when filling up the cooling system it seems the concrete didn't like having a coolant/water mixture sitting on it for a day or...

One word. OUTSTANDING!

Next time I get the car out of it's shed I'll bang off a couple of photos. Thanks for taking an interest. Cheers! Mark

Sorry to hijack this thread but I need advice on how to fit door skins to a door frame without needing heat to eliminate oil canning. My old Triumph TR6 had been restored prior to my buying it and it looks like the restorer replaced both door skins and then used a torch to spot heat just about...

G'day Anth. Nice deck mate and the corners look good - you have to allow for some swelling of the timber :) The link for the foilboard is: http://www.foilboard.com.au/ I used the Green 20 for my door. Super light weight and on a panel door or wall you can use silicone roof/gutter sealant to...

On the subject of temperature control one of the best things I've done in my garage and shed has been to insulate with foilboard. It's easy, relatively inexpensive, comes in a variety of thicknesses for different applications and it's lightweight so it's easy to handle. You can buy it from a lot...

Thanks guys. Bob, this is on my Triumph TR7 V8 race car. Engine is a Rover 4.6 litre V8 and no computers in sight. I'm guessing "old school" might be the way to go so we'll give that a try. Cheers.

My dyno guy and I have been trying to get the timing right on my race car over the last couple of days and we're having trouble getting a stable "flash" on the front pulley with his digital timing light. :headscrat The ignition system is all Mallory with a 6AL controller, magnetic trigger...

I'm not worthy. I think I'll go and cower in the corner now and **** on my thumb. Cue pathetic whimpering noises. :Twitch:

I wonder if dry ice would work on the roof insulation? I know it works real good on that tar-like floor insulation so loved by manufacturers and so hated by restorers. Just dump some on a section, wait for the sub-strate to start making cracking sounds, shove it into another location and scoop...

Hope you get to enjoy the NBN 1/2 Cup. From what I hear from work colleagues it's a bit dodgy with a lot of outages and it seems to take more time for techs to fix than it's worth. :headscrat In my case although we live in the NW burbs of Melbourne and it's all around us we're not even on the...

Having just found this thread today and looked at every update (yes it was a slow day at work) I am filled with admiration for the effort, the dedication and the perseverance shown by Doug and his wife. Thank-you! I'm not sure I'd be able to hang in there for so long and especially with the...

This may be a stupid question but will epoxy filler applied into existing concrete cracks stop any further movement or the cracks getting worse? Does anyone have any tips on where to source epoxy in Australia? Cheers!

There is only one word to describe this build - "Awesome!" Puts my old 6' x 4' layout HO train set into perspective and it's really interesting to see the structure and the building process in detail. Don't stop now. Mark :drool:

Thanks for all your kind words guys. I'm looking forward to learning and participating. Cheers! Mark
