check this please or take a pic

 

 

postive of the battery goes straight to the starter motor,

 

now there should be thin another wire on starter motor aswell this gives the signal to start check if it has one/or if its connected

 

yeah pos to starter, and the Smaller wire is there plugged were it was yesterday. can get a pic to make sure its plugged in right spot? ill upload in a sec.

 

I earthed the starter out, and its deff getting power there and spins, But the Solenoid doesn't throw out.

Pos and small wire to the side plug..

[Evan G]

wow thats weird!

 

i think you have it on the wrong terminal, put it on the top left one

 

 

to test it put a screwdriver across the top left terminal and battery wire.

 

also I'm 70% sure the solenoid has to throw the fork out before the motor spins

Ive tried it on all three, Nothing.. I will try the screw driver though see if it clicks itself, Might be Screwed?

can you hear the solenoid beening thrown out? as i said I'm 70% sure the solenoid has to throw the fork out before the motor spins.

 

it could be the starter motor is gone or some teeth missing off the ring gear on the flywheel.

 

if the starter motor is throwing the fork out and spinning but doesnt turn it over, try turning the engine over by hand a little bit then try agian

 

if it starts it means theres some teeth missing

 

when you first got it did it use to start?

Ok Got it Going.

 

I used a screw driver on the pos cable and the small wire i have it plugged to, and it wound over straight away... So my guess is there is a problem with wiring in the loom or up near the key for the solenoid.

Ok, So Now I'm going to look at getting everything i need to paint the car.

 

I have never painted a car before.(Gotta learn right?) So all tips welcome :D

 

Going to try Order Everything threw work, Trade price :D

 

Things i have thought of so far..

 

1.Gravity feed Gun

2.High filler (the yellowish stuff)

3.Primer (not sure what one?)

4.heaps of sandpaper

5.Paint

6.Clear

7.Grease and wax remover

8.thinners

??What else?

 

 

Will talk to Them at the shop, see what i need and how it all works....

 

Will buy a tin of paint and practice on the bonnet and guard of my daily, it needs painting and I'm not worried about what it looks like..

 

Worth using that tar stuff under the car? Thought it would just weigh it down? Even though this will not be a performance beast i don't want to restrict it even more.

 

 

Also, Looking at painting all components under the car.. Diff, Steering arms and brake parts... Ideas on paint and primer to use? I know there is paint for brakes. . . high temp stuff, Ill also use on diff. But would pressure pack black paint be ok for steering parts and junk.

Hi Nick,

 

You will also probably need a bit of filler, and a pressure pack of acrylic gloss black or similar to use as a "guidecoat".

When you are repairing a panel you can spray a light mist coat of this, and then wet rub it with a flat block and 400grit paper. The black paint will be left where all the low spots are on the panel.

Guidecoat shown here;

 

I will also suggest that if you can get your hands on a "speedfile" that will really help get things straight.

If you block back your repairs with a long board it really helps get the whole panel true and reduce ripples.

Other than that, access to a good set of hammers and dollies and a welder.

 

Cheers,

Dougal

Thanks, Will be buying tools tomorrow, Will Try to find one of these.

 

So this arvo after work i thought i would try the wire brush on some parts i suspected had rust under the paint.. turns out there is a lot more rust Growing in spots you wouldn't tell.

 

So new plans again,

 

Buying Gravity feed Gun tomorrow, And Filler primer.

 

Will be Wire brushing Almost every part of the car, And rusting Proofing and Cutting out what i find.. And Primer it this weekend i hope. Engine Coming out tomorrow, and thinking about seam welding The bay to make it look neat? Or could i use Bog in the engine bay? Strut towers and all? Smooth it right out ????

 

Then Flip it on its side, for wire brushing, new bushes and all. Then Sound and Rust deadening.

 

This has gone from something i wanted done Quick to something that will take me long over 6 months, I'm a apprentice so I'm trying my best.

 

Any one know were i can Buy Brand new Window Rubbers? Mine are cracked and falling apart... Something i WILL need.

 

Will update with pics later.

[Ke20Kidd]

Paint stripper? Or should i wire Brush the whole lot. Its coming off Fine and Quick, leaving the surface smooth...

[Ke20Kidd]

Motor and Box coming out this arvo, have a Few mates Coming round to Give me a lift.. I don't have a engine Crane..

 

Will upload pic tonight :D

[Ke20Kidd]

More rust!!! under sound proof inside :D

[Doogs]

For long flat panels like that 1/4, paintstripper and a scraper will be a bit quicker. The wire brush is good for little

tricky areas.

[drc_ke20]
