Does anyone know if someone sells tension rod mounts?  I think mine are beyond repair.

 

Thanks

A donor is the best bet

I have a 73 and 74 that have something to offer,  I believe the T-rod mounts are the same on all the S30's.

Can you take a pic of what you need, so I can see if what I have can cover it?

Haven't posted in a long time.  But I am, proud to announce progress.  Finally!!!! I choose not to do the welding as I do not have a great work space. So my guy send me these pictures today.  The car has new life!!

Oh wow... I would have removed the front fender to do all that work too....

Other than that, it looks like good progress!

That's great progress!

Hey there's no going back now, keep up the good work.

 

All done, just need to get it back and then my work starts!

This may be a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Always been told there are no dumb questions, just dumb people. Ha!  I am looking to remove the surface rust from the engine bay.  There are parts where it will be difficult to get a wire brush into ( I.e. battery tray area). Has anyone tried to use a pressure washer to get the rust off?  Would that even work? Or am I going to cause too much damage to the metal. 

Pressure washers not going to help much. It'll get it clean but won't really touch the rust.

There are some after market attachments that claim they can turn your pressure washer into a wet blaster with a siphon for sand but they don't get very good reviews and from what I have read most people never get them to work. There are mini hand held dry sand blasters but you still need a decent compressor with 12-15 CFM.

  I've used several layers of paper towels soaked in Evapo-Rust, then layed the wet towels as flat as possible on the vertical? rusty surfaces and covered the towels with Saran Wrap. (does anyone use that term anymore?)  I checked the progress and re-wet the towels using a spray bottle as needed.

Thanks for the info. Wasn’t sure if it would be powerful enough. Guess you guys confirmed that
