240K GT parts

Dry ice?? Kero?? don't even think about it, that's crazy talk and would turn out to be the worst day of your life. Imagine being under a car wiping it with kero.

Enviro strip is out of business and won't hire his equipment, bloody murphys law. You can use kennards hire and get a 4000psi water jet with sand blaster attachment for $258 for 24 hours. The water coming out at the same time would make a mess but would stop the dust issue letting you do it in your driveway.

I swear on my K that sandblasting does take off all the tar type of soundeadener. I had to leave a bit on mine as the guy who I loaned the kit off was standing next to me waiting to get it back as I finished the rear. I can't say if the kennards kit would do it as quick or with as little damage but the guy I called said it "should". Call 9318 2777 allow 2 days and $300 for blasting media.

Hope this helps.

P.s is this sounddeadener your taking off the same stuff you put on a while back? and if so are you doing this just to get por on the bottom?

thanks, i will certainly look into it.. i certainly don't like the idea of sitting under the car for months scraping and wiping

yes.. unfortunately i can only blame myself.. i didn't think when i put it on and i was eager to do "something" at nights in the garage.. after finding the rust that i did under the primer, i want to make sure there is no more lurking around (and por it!) a little pain now seems better than pain in 4 years time! (especially after she is all done!)

Kent,

Kennards was going to be my next suggestion. I too can say that sandblasting is a most relaxing and effective way to remove anything. If you find a blaster, you might like to invest in an $80 car shade tent from Super Cheap Auto. The best temporary spray and sanding booth around. Just remember, the sand gets everywhere, including those sills and nooks in the A and B pillars. Don't forget to vacuum it out afterwards.

Be prepared to have to blow it out for longer than you had to sandblast it, you have to go from one end of the rail to the other about 768 594 times... This is for each rail.

I really wanted to get a mate on one end with a vacumn cleaner to suck out the stuff out as I blew it but was unable to rope anyone into helping me on that particular day. I envisage this would help quite a lot and you would only need to blow each rail out 594 times. I'd bet I still have bits of garnet inside mine in plases covered by pro. Actually now I think about it I taped a hose to my housemates vacumn cleaner and shoved it in one end of the rail on max 10min later the vacumn died as I had overheated it by restricting the airflow. Putting the cleaner on 50% power might have fixed it. A new cleaner cost me $120 it had sweet fa in the bag when finished as well.

Kent,

As for GT differences, I remember back in the late '80s when I was playing with my first two K's that a wrecker in Seaford Victoria had a gold GT that I used for parts. (If only i knew - $^#@$!!!) Well it had the badges but the standard tail lights. But I remember the Carby inlet manifold was different. Still a single, but tuned alot longer. The Carby stuck out from the head probably another 3-4 inches and still used a down draft.

just like this one you mean:

yeah yeah, I know. Shameless promotion.

But I figure if anyone's been looking for one, then no-one would mind too much me flogging it a bit.
