brake fluid? yeah thats an awesome idea, coat her in brake fluid wipe her off and repaint haha

id be tad worried about flicking my smoe out the window then... nothing like watching a ke55 driving down the road with flames licking off it

well the paint had gone a bit "chalky" ( I'm gonna call it that) so cut and polish would of just rubbed through more of the little paint that is left. and yes i know have distinguishable tongue marks from a kangaroo, a small tabby cat and the next door neighbours kelpie hahahaha

this is probaly a stupid question but are 3K and 4K camshafts the same? as in will a 3k cam fit in a 4K?

well i went to pick up a head and cam and shock horror she's still clean nice n shiny too

ill let you know when i go for a drive haha

A mate told me about years ago how he used his mums cooking oil to bring some shine out of his old dodge.... his thory behind it all was that the paint was oil based so therefore by his running oil into the paint it wouls soak it up and give it a nice shine. Well after chuckin a sickie today i thought id try the same, so i wiped a decent does of canola oil straight out the pantry over the roof, let it soak in for 10 or so minutes then buffed her with an old rag. she came up a treat. Just thought is let ya all know, let me know if ya try it and how ya go I'm off to finsh off the rest of the car haha

don't really ever run mine dry and fill her back up again, but i do 3ookms a week to work and back and tha tnormally costs round $25, so that about 20L for 300 kms..... thats includes start stop traffic and about 5 mins trying toexceed 140 ( still hasnt happened yet hahahah)

just turn the stereo up, or get a louder exhaust :cool:

just thought id say gday and put up a few pics of my 1980 ke55.... bought her for $400 and all she needed was a set of points and a condenser... It even came WITH the recaro... steering wheel was a necessary mod haha
