Thread: I Need some inspiration.

take the haynes, rip it up, mache it and then sculpt it into body gaurds for the rangie.

once you start the pulping procedure acquire a Rave CD from incisor and use that as your reference works instead. by the time you get the molding work done and its setting the CD should turn up in the mail

I know how you feel though, Im in a similar situation at home, admitedly Im not rebuilding an engine i have unfinshed projects I need to finish...

motivation came in the form of fozzy blowing his startermotor and nessitating that I fix it or push start him every morning.

Hi,

Start with the easy bits. Cleaning and surface prep. Clean all the bolt holes, run a tap down the head bolt holes in the block, blow out all the muck and sit the gaskets on the dowels and take another look. You are almost ready to fit the heads on the block already
Step by step, little by little. Don't be discouraged and as Dave points out, a Rave disc is a must buy for any of these jobs.

You can ask any questions here too, and don't forget the only silly question is the one never asked

You will be fine doing this one. From what I've seen you had it all clean and parts labeled in bags etc Shove the pipes back in and put the new engine mounts in. Then show us some pics of the well organised labeled parts you have.
Once you start it will flow on.

I have a manual here but inc's would be better.


If you haven't got it all done next time I'm in Sydney I will drop in with some coldies and we'll get it all done

Hi Dave ;

if you're referring to RRC Rave Cd , I already have it

Edit : I can't get motivated at all for some reason.

Hi Tony;
The Pipe work is all back in, I spent a couple of hours yesterday doing it,

s'pose my road block at the moment is "not" asking the silly question , I feel like I've run out of coupons to ask them

Thanks mate ,believe me , there is no-one on this planet that wants this thing going more that I do


Alright I will dig up old thread again tomorrow , I just hope ppl don't mind the stupid oops (unasked) questions.

dont worry mate, I AM THE KING OF STUPID QUESTIONS

I am often asked to go back to my village as they really miss their idiot

I am keen to see how this goes, can you post a photographic record of how you do it, I will be watching with interest for when I have to do it myself.

cheers mate
