Don't lead him astray , F...ing things are haunted :rant:

If it was a 2 dr "coupe " I would be Jealous ....... :cheers:

Ouch , that's gotta smart ! :shake:

Way too popular , Slower than Ex-wifes forgiveness , time to change me thinks.......What's the alternative ?? estions

YeeHaa !

Jim , you got enough room for a run-way at your place ( or a strait road nearby ) ? :popcorn: :cheers:

That's priceless Jim :thumbsup:

......is this " Nair -do -well " :laughin:

:wavey: Howdy neighbour , you did mention coolant contamination so I'm guessing the head gasket is the culprit . :thumbsup:

:agree: Amen

I've seen a number of home-brewed soft toppers , but none of them fold away easily or at all for that matter . I bought my "Softopper" two years ago and have to say , it's the single best addition to my truck that I've made ! :thumbsup:

Doesn't sound good , can you contact the PO to find out if there is a warranty from the shop that did the rebuild ? :???:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :yes:

The plastic heater control valve is easy to crack if you over-tighten the clamps . when I replaced mine I went back to OEM spring clamps ......no leaks since :thumbsup:

Like most things , the Prep. makes the job . The problem starts with the backer board deteriorating . So you need to stabilize that surface first . Fiberglass mat and resin or even resin alone works best but you can simply paint it as well to get a surface that the adhesive will bond to :typing:

That's a winning pair for sure :thumbsup:

Back in the day ....SCCA suspension rules allowed : replacing OEM with any material attached to stock mounting points AND any additional suspension components you wished to add ! I campaigned A Datsun 1200 in C-Sedan with Teflon rear leafs , Zeed for tire clearance and a 4 link with adjustable coil-overs front and back .Since the 1200 was basically a BMC knock-off , we used dual "SU" side-draft carbs , tuned headers, roller cam ,dry sump ,and got 150 hp to the rear wheels @ 8000 rpm . Yes we did grenade a few engines in the process, but we sure gave those " Mini"s a run for the money !

My $ 0.02 , Battery to starter cable corroded under the insulation ( Jumper from starter terminal to battery will confirm ), and separately (Jumper from good ground to battery to confirm ) . If both cables test O.K. , then it's likely the battery at fault . :wrench:

:agree: :clapping: :popcorn:

:rotfl2: Can't you just see hand pumping the water pump while driving :driving: .....hopefully its an automatic trans. so you have one hand free to keep the circulation going :jump:

Jim and me are old enough to remember this same public rant about " cheap , poor quality , knock-off products " taking away our jobs quite some time back . Then it was "Japan" then "Korea" ....etc......who now have plants in North America ( Canada , USA , Mexico ) providing us with the jobs we need . This is capitalism not communism driving these economic changes ......Just food for thought guys :idea: :cheers:

WELL.... HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL .......I hope your right , although maybe the scammers will start riding on the roof as they do in India , which would certainly do away with or eliminate a good number of the "free ride" crowd . :yes: ......On a more positive note .....Welcome to Beautiful British Columbia .....I hope you enjoy your stay , and get a little sight seeing in as well :cheers:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Well said Don :cheers:

FWIW Don't mention your here working for "Skytrain" ......The most hated public money-pit next to B.C. Ferries Corp. We pay an extra $0.15 per liter on gas here to subsidize this joke left over from Expo '86 :fs1:
