Hi John
Thanks for the seals. They look awesome. Can't wait to fit them
Nick

 Thanks Wayne . That's a mighty nice offer but I don't want to put you out. I'm in Port Macquarie where are you located. I'm more than happy to reimburse costs . Stinky's lead is pretty good though! 120 bucks! Door to depot!

Thanks Glenn

I went to my local automotive paint supplier last week and he gave me this code
CP12959. He said to bring this # back and he would be able to mix up the paint from that.
Hope this helps
Nick

Thanks Boys.
Yes that's right ...I'm after the one that goes through the centre of the leafsprings.
the bolt sits proud of the top of the spring and sits in the hole in the middle of the rubbers for the spring pads and the nut end  fits into the other spring pad??
I'll try my local trailer manufacturer
Nick

Hi All
Is the nut and bolt that goes through the middle of the leaf springs available from rares???
I got one off and the bolt is pretty well worn and the other the nut is just turning on the bolt
I picked up a new set of leaf spring inserts the other day but didn't see any bolt
Thanks Nick

thought you said you hadn't done this before ,

Just dreaming about it all the time!!!

For the last section on the upper channel I was going to grind out the section along the gutter and then fabricate a section that goes from the lip of the channel across to the spot welds on the inside of the window frame??


Nick

This is the next section that I have to attack



As you can see there is some nasty cancer on the inside. I guess that when soda blasted and the with a coat of POR 15 this will be OK.
Has anyone else replaced this section?


Another shot of the form work. The picture shows a bigger gap than in reality.
It massages in better than that!

Nick

Hello all
Thanks Ed.

I get some parts back this weekend from the soda blaster and I want to POR 15 them all. I'm going to check out the process of what to do this afternoon. But essentially do you use it on external surfaces as well... bonnet doors etc.
I did some metal work on the weekend



Not too bad. Next stage is to weld all three peices together and cut in and join the last piece after it has been soda blasted. then weld it in as a single peice. The contours of the corner are pretty well spot on as the other side.

Thanks Ed
Thats a great tip .
I hope I can do as good a job as that
How do you finish off the bottom edge of the door at the drainhole where the rust has made holes Spot fill them
Sodablaster coming on Saturday to take a look . Then off to Hastings Old Holdens show and shine to have a look and hopefully get some  leads for some local suppliers/mechanics etc
. Bought some sheet metal so hopefully some panel fabrication this weekend. Get the hammer and dolly out!

I've been thinking about por15 for the subframe, underside, diff and springs spare tyre well and tank. From all accounts I've read its a pretty good product. Is it as easy to use as they claim?
All assistance greatly appreciated as always
Nick

My back door






Is this restorable The rest of the door is pretty straight I have another set of doors that I'm getting from Glenn Bryan in gympie.
If anyone can post some pictures of a similar repair I would appreciate it!
Regards
Nick
