There have been a number of postings about paint colors and so on in the past. My body guy has suggested Dupon Centari acrylic-enamel. Originality is not an issue, but is this a quality paint? ...An

As several others on the list have reported, installing the glass into the windshield rubber seal and frame is very meticulous task. And while I am informed, however, that it can indeed be done, I a

Actually, I'm going to answer my own question here. I have the day off today and the UPS guy just delivered the seal I ordered from Moss to replace the one I botched into pieces that came from TRF.

I was so proud of my good fortune. When I stripped my '59 TR3A project car down, the floors were a lacework of rusted holes, but I was able to salvage the seat rails with a wire wheel, heat, grease,

Hello, everyone. I'm selling my '70 Datsun 2000 Roadster on Ebay (again, because the first buyer became a wisp of deadbeat smoke after the bidding ended). Anyway, I have a question from a Florida guy

Randy, I had a similar problem in my '70 Datsun 2000 Roadster. What finally solved it was taking the bowls' fuel valves completely out. Put your mouth on the fuel inlet, and blow while lifting the f

Roland, Try www.applehydraulics.com. They fixed my front calipers after I'd buggered the relief valve with not one, but two broke-off easy-outs ( which I think cost me just $20 extra). NFI, but thes

Frank, POR-15 is incredible stuff, though others (i.e., Eastwood) may make great stuff too. I restored the frame of my '59 TR3A by the same method, wiring brushing (albeit a wire wheel on a drill).
