hey great work good to see another build up keep the picks and info coming...just wondering what your manifold would weigh?the bens look to be 4 to 6 mm thick and there would be 20 or more???

had afew things plated also thought i'd try polishing these took about hour to get to this stage using 400 grit then a bit of metal polish need to use 1500 grit next then polish but i could'nt wait to see what it would look like. spent today saturday sanding and sanding and sanding my fingers are sore as but its starting to take shape will be spraying its new colour on tomorrow can't wait,only doing boot ,door openings and engine bay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I so want to do my engine bay what colour are you doing it ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think you have to be apart of a car club or something ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think you have to be apart of a car club or something ? Me and a friend took his uncles Camaro in a few years ago (2 16 year olds going in with a Camaro was quite funny.. fun day too!) we weren't sure how it worked so we took his car (an '83 Nissan Sunny!) on the Saturday and went in as the normal people do, then worked out it was easy so went back on Sunday. All we did was drive in the other entrance, get given an entry ticket, then park. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh is it that easy now I feel real dumb lol

His uncle was trying to sell the Camaro which is why he wanted us to take it, he was out of town or something. ****ing funny drive comparing the 2 cars.. 1.3 Sunny vs 5.0 (or whatever it was) Camaro That was the only Kumeu show I enjoyed, I went the 2 years later and left pretty quick..
