Just seen this listed on facebook (not my picture) a EH disc front end, this gives mean idea on what i need and what the disc front end looks like/parts look like

Thanks Guy's Disc's and pad's will be new and a little bit better quality Ran cheap brake pads $50 on my last v8 ford ltd than ran $90 pads on my vt now, the vt pull's up in 1/3rd the length of the ford I will likely get Brembo pad's if there made for the HR or other quality pad's, disc i'll...

From what i have researched if the drum and disc cross members are the same i will need Disc stub's Disc's Caliper's Outrigger's What's the go with the rear end do i still run drum brake's? Nothing has been mentioned about that

Ok thanks guys, got my eye on a set

Will that still require a engineers cert?

I just called around a few place's for the engineering certificate work and finally got a hold of a top bloke that explained the whole process in detail He said it would be best to send him pictures of the car and vin plate and a list of what i want to do, he will inspect the picture's than...

He did'nt mention engineering certificate, he said the conversion can be done but using the commodore disc offsets the wheel by 20mm he said i will need to get custom wheel's made i assume to correct the offset of the disc I'm kind of ok with that if i can get basic 18" 5 spoke crome wheels for...

I spoke to the rodshop the guy on the phone said he does'nt recomment the commodore brake upgrade as it pushes the wheel out 20mm He said any commodore disc and calipers work up to a VN He said to go with the WB kit and they can mod my axle's but that would defeat me running easy to obtain...

VC what do they mean by this " Customer to supply: 4 cylinder disc brakes for 4-1/4" PCD 6 & 8 cylinder disc brakes for 120 PCD VT – VY rotors use DBHUB-COM VR rotors turn spigot to 70.00mm dia Changeover or outright sale of drum brake stubs for required model" First one do they mean 4...

Thank's guy's I just looked into the different brake kit's appear's i can get a commodore conversion but a new kit is $1600 or from what i gathered i can run second hand commodore part's like caliper's I'm not sure if the caliper mount's bolt on or if they need to be welded I will look into...

Any reason vc?

My cousin just dropped off a set of EH to Commodore wheel spacer's/converter's https://ibb.co/6Ft7b3r][/url] https://ibb.co/J2RvpSz][/url]

Debeer i have heard of that brand before Here is my door being repaired i made the new piece from 1mm steel sheet than bent and doubled over i used my vice to squeeze the bent end https://ibb.co/RB63XQL][/url] https://ibb.co/ypKTFYL][/url] https://ibb.co/86Lck2X][/url]...

Anyone got a fav paint pack/kit they like or that is easier to get a better finish than say other brands?

Just picked up a couple doors they need new lower outer corner pieces welded in as they have rusted thru than i just need a drivers door https://ibb.co/G7YxDTL][/url]

Looking to go 2 pack orange or a marone with these mags or maybe all chrome mags in the same style

3 new door's and i'll tape her up and prime the whole car

Slowly getting somewhere https://ibb.co/2dG4HWM][/url] https://ibb.co/q5V7MtJ][/url]

It's just primed like the rear quarter's so the filler is sealed suppose to rain tonight The rear quarter's and dogleg need finishing

Trying the BB link https://ibb.co/QMNjmfC][/url]

Some more pics, looks like the low spots are very minor maybe 1-2mm deep Pic's of the top and bottom half, it's ganna be dicey to try fill those lows without creating more high's than i need to gently feather in the edges i hope i dont screw it and have to redo the filling over and over...

Yeah can only use those lights if theres a reflective paint job on the panel to reflect the lines/light by the time i spray the panel than rub back the high spots i wont have paint to reflect the light lol

Guy's i just went out and took a look with the car shaded as the sun is going down and this is no magic camera setting or anything but that panel shaded looks near perfect to my eye https://ibb.co/XyK92mf

Losh hard to do the string line the HR isnt a straight horizontal panel its got a slight step it half way along where the panel kicks in its very minor and u can only see it with a straight edge its about 4mm in at the boot as apposed to above the wheel arch

Thanks guys i just had to walk away from it for today, all that mixing and sanding was getting to me I firstly knocked all the dags off with 80 grit on the orbital than i used the long board to highlight the high's as it leaves scratches on the high points so i went at those with the orbital...

I'm using F217 fibrelight 2k as the base filler than im skimming the base with UPOL Easy 1 body filler (deep repair) i know you guys said to use the light fair stuff to skim the surface but i had already ordered these two I think thats why im finding it difficult to sand smooth

How bad will the paint job look if i paint over this panel this is how she looks im done for the day im over sanding and filling, the other side turned out really good but this drivers side is kicking my ass https://ibb.co/8YFgdQZ https://ibb.co/db9bQRk https://ibb.co/gmgqHv5

Gasket was all mushy and soft soaking wet i replaced it with another trident gasket from SCA car has been running since last post No leaks, bled cooling system on a hill, been checking radiator first few days she took 50-70mls of coolant than twice from then and now she hasnt used any coolant...

Here is the drivers side with paint removed a bit hard to see the damage i have hammered most of it back into shape with what tools i have Im about to use the electric stud dent puller but wondering if its actually worth it as the stud puller pulls "mini mountains" on the steel and creats high...

Forgot to add the HR has 42,000miles, 68,000kms

This is the other side rear quarter damage there are some high spots where i hammered the pannel inside to outside to much and have stretched the steel, my plan is to lightly hammer the highs back in than use filler The lows are only around 3mm deep but there is a lot of bends all over the...

I'm a honest bloke i would rather pay for it, He has some good old car part's he is sitting on a original XU1 engine he don't wanna budge with lol
