Spraying of all the hollow parts against rust?
Casey_z replied to bartsscooterservice's topic in Body & Paint
Just a quick example of an untreated 10year old Chevy pickup in my brothers shop. This is the frame and what's left of the rocker panel. Posting this to show what we deal with in the great white north:cry: Also where a vehicle spends its life is important info if you want to purchase. The box on this truck was so rusty they are replacing it with a better one from the wreckers. The oil treatments we use and lots of washing prevent a lot of this type of rust damage. Casey

Don't worry it is high and dry till spring in my little shop. To keep a vehicle for a long period of time takes a lot of extra maintenance in the winter. -

This is a pic of my daily driver. It was clean in the morning. One day's worth of pure salt build up.:sick: Oil treatments are an industry here and make a huge difference in a vehicle's condition. My Honda Pilot gets treated regularly and is like new after 8 salty winters.

Replaced Toyota front brake pads and rotors. Notice Canada"s national beverage:D

In Canada we use products like RustCheck and Crown oil spray. Soak everything on a regular basis. Once or twice a year.These products creep and penetrate. If a product forms a coating you can lock rust under it. My Dutch Canadian 2 cents Casey -
240z rebuild / restoration right down to the shell
Casey_z replied to grannyknot's topic in Build Threads
Chris You would never have known the trouble you would find when you were parked next to me in August. A job like that you work one step at a time. Ted must be thinking "silly humans":) Casey -
This sounds like what happened to me. My brother in law was an apprentice at a Datsun shop in the 70's. My 240 wouldn't start after I flooded it trying to start it with a bad new rotor. With good parts and spark the motor would fire intermittantly but not start. Cleaned the plugs and they looked great but still it would not run. My brother in law told me to put fresh plugs in it (NGK). I installed the plugs and it fired up immediately. He told me this was common back when he worked on these cars every day. My 2 cents for what it is worth. Casey

Heard about this upgrade to the choke control on this site. Got on EBAY bought the adapter plate and installed it. Works great. It is rock solid. This allows you to remove the consul without screwing with the choke control as well. While I was there:) I got the choke warning light and the re defogger repaired as well. Winter may suck but it gives you time to work on things. Casey

This car is crying to be the original green it used to be. Great find. keep us posted. My first Z was green with tan interior so I am partial.

Back on topic. This is my Z in a salt free environment. Come on summer:D

It isn't polite to gloat:)

Guess I would miss the snow This is the winter home Arne I am a little jealous Enjoy your drive!
-
I just blew a foot of snow out of my driveway and turned the heat on in my little shop and started on some winter improvement projects. I think I would miss winter, well....... Maybe not:angry:

Back at you from another silver Z owner:cool: A blessed Christmas to everyone from the Great White North:) Casey

Heart broken:(

Original question was has anyone used one:) So far the simple answer is no. Just sayin...............

Both windows and trim. They slid the SS trim in before installing the glass. they were down the road in about an hour and a half. It would normally be about $250 but they do a lot of work for my brother in his body shop and cash talks:) Casey

I cheated and paid these guys. They installed front and rear for $150 cash in an hour and a half Casey

There should be a bolt you can remove after which you can install a grease fitting. Casey

Went for a drive with some friends in the Ontario Z Club. Muskoka area is beautiful. The sign says winding road for 33 kilometers. About 20 miles in American.
