Ive got a donor car in Middle Swan if you wanta go for a drive NoMAD , I will be dragging it over to my place sometime soon , maybe this weekend.
The neighbours must be wondering whats going on ,there are now 3 FB/EKs at our place , with two more to come !

when you planning on going out mate.

i don't mind going for a drive for car parts mate

pm me with details of when you going and you number and i'll give you a call

heres the worst of it - have you got a good section or have you got some pieces they may make this easier they reforming it all out of sheet metal and setting me back a few weeks/months the rest is quite easy





the red outlines what i want... ...i can only ask



Cheers

MR Nomad,
It would be nearly impossible for you to find a good section for replacement and if you did the subframe that has a good rust free section would probably be better than yours. I have had the same problem but what I did was use the drivers side section (no battery no rust). Its not an exact fit but very close and with a bit of work I have made it fit pretty well. I will take a photo of it today. The other option is to make a complete new inner but that is a s*?& load of work and probably not worth it.
Regards Greg

I've had the same idea about getting a drivers side section and chopping it up and modifying it - and i have been looking for one!

once again if anybodys got anything - shout out!

I have access to a rotten ute in Bakers Hill that has had a bonnet on it forever so it may have a resonable donor section, I know the rest of it is pretty well rooted so if it has it would not be a waste to cut it up. I will check it out next time I am there and give you a shout if it is any good.

Cheers Burnsy,

Its not really holding up progress too much, but if you can let me know as soon as you can as i have a few other people chasing some up.

Blacky - how about the donar car you have? have you been able to look yet?

hz308prem - i'll get back to you when i have explored the other few options, that i started first, but if someone else wants to knab it in the meantime - be my guest.

Cheers

Hey NoMad was it you that was after the 57 Chev headlight surrounds?
A mate of mine has some in his shed and he just rang me the other day and asked if I can put them on evil bay for him. Let me know if you are intrested as he has yet to drop them down for me to take a photo of them Regards

NoMAD, I have finally dragged the donor car home , the left side is completely cactus but the right hand side appears to be O.K.
I am going away for work for a bloody change this week but will be home over Easter. There are a couple of wrecks where I am going, will check them out for the bit you need.

I have your repair sections in the back of my ute NoMAD

your a legend mate!

had a feeling you wouldnt let me down,

i've have a look at about 4 different cars all completely rusted through nothing worth salvaging of any wrecks down south, at least now i can stop looking,

let us know when your back in town and we'll sort something out!

Cheers
NoMAD

Ya Gotta Luv That Phone Number

any updates NoMad?

Updates, updates, updates...

Not really!

Been fixing rust in the rear floors looks like a patch quilt at the moment!

Been trying to get the floor down to get the chassis kit bolted/welded in, so i can then trial fit the 186/TH700 and then worry about fitting up the Turbo for Firewall Mods! - Geez it sounds easy that way!

hopefully some fresh pics in a week or 2!

Cheers
NoMAD

(Aust)mod - hows your diff going?

Everyone else is updating so i thought i better....

Got the rear floor rust finishened


This is midway through spraying on some underbody...


And the passenger side chassis rail welded up and bolted in....


Next is to fix the rust in the front end and bolt it up to trial fit the engine and gearbox

Cheers
NoMAD
