    Socorob's Series II V6

    Socorob's Series II V6

    Thanks! Unfortunately it's time I have to part with the Alpine. I will miss it a lot. It's almost complete, too. I was hoping to complete it but I don't have the time latey that's why I put it at a low starting bid. It needs carpet, some adjusting of the softtop, hardtop needs to be totally...

    Nissan in Alpine

    http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200028 Bill, here is a dual fan controller setup that I just got for my other car to control 2 speeds. It can be done with junk yard parts. I paid under $75 and got 2 fans(which you would probably need a different fan to fit), 2 Volvo controllers...

    4 bbl FAST TBI question

    Rocker repair/replacement opinions sought

    If you google around, you can find better things than por15. There's a guy who has a website that did each of the 4 motor and drive mounts in the hull of his boat with a different product then had photos of them a year later. I think POR15 was the 3rd best. That's probably more extreme than it...

    Early series hard top rear window thickness

    My rear window was homemade by someone and is too small for the opening. I need a new window and would prefer to buy one instead of making one. It would take a lot to make one.

    Early series hard top rear window thickness

    Stripped down my top this weekend. I had to drill out a few screws that were seized, was not fun at all. I need to get 2 or 3 cracks welded up then sand it and start putting it back together. Has anyone tried the window from the aircraft place yet?

    Rocker repair/replacement opinions sought

    I bought a few cans of eastwood internal frame coating and sprayed it into every crevice that little tube would go into. My car happens to be very rust free and I want to do what I can to keep it that way. The stuff is easy to use and hopefully works as advertised.

    Norway: Bridge across part of North Atlantic

    There needs to be a sign that reads: Warning, if you attempt to drive a British car down this road, the sheer amount of salt water may rust it out from under you before you get to where you're headed!
