uras1 Posted January 15, 2012 Share #49 Posted January 15, 2012 just a alittle trick i use at work is using alfoil to wrap up and line and parts instead of masking with tape Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/41457-terrys-project-240k/?page=5#findComment-377596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez240k Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share #50 Posted January 15, 2012 yeah i noticed few of my mates using that method. might do it for the next mask cheers. Little update: Got my service manual in the post today which should be a little help when im putting it back together. ANd this weekend, im picking up a whole 240k for free thats been sitting in a paddock for parts. The bloke is a champ for letting us take it will get a few panels i can cut out to replace my rusty ones, will take the whole tail light assembly along with another one the bloke gave me so i will have 3 to fix up. its also got a good passanger seat and few interior bits. Theres another one sitting there that was used as a rally car! even got a roll cage in it. But wait till you see the pics. the rustiest thing ive ever seen! yet its got mint chrome mirrors on it that i will take. Im also starting to strip the motor down ready for rebuild. Im thinking: valve seat grind, stem seals, all new gaskets, rings, bearings, hone the bores, maybe port the head a bit. And get the twin carbs reconditioned. all coming along slowly Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/41457-terrys-project-240k/?page=5#findComment-377644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez240k Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share #53 Posted February 3, 2012 havent done a whole lot. Stripped a tail light garnish and started sanding it down ready to paintBut my mind is set on some widened steelies for the 240K. theres a place here in sa that widens them but its quite pricey. I wanna go for jdm look with as wide as i can go with stretched tyres.Anyone had experience with widening steelies or know of any rims that will suit or the best offsets?rather than go the typical 'chaser' rims like off a R31, thought the crappy ones on it would look cooler if they were widened Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/41457-terrys-project-240k/?page=5#findComment-379611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
