i know of one workshop that charged my friend $900 for a turbo install. Is this a resonable price - you dont have to state how much you paid guy just your opinion and other ppls opinion in general.

Can you PM me the name of the workshop (I have an idea, but I might be wrong)

yeah it is cold. Im looking throughout my wardrobe to look for jackets/jumpers/beanies and what not.

btw pete (gt nut) used a jetfighter heater or something like that when he resprayed his car - coincidently it was in winter. Do you think that it would be sufficent to make the drying process quicker?

whats a jetfighter heater?

i wouldnt use anything that blows air onto the car, cos anything floating past through the air will get blown onto the paint. but then again im reluctant to paint anything in the shed anymore, well 2K resprays anyway (from prior attempts). It would be difficult to find something that can put about 30 degrees of heat into every panel on the car, better off just to wait until a warm day. I think you can hire spray-booths in adelaide? if you could organise something like that, it would be way better.

Yeah, you could get away with just painting front panels in the shed. my suggestion would be to wait until warmer weather (if its possible), this makes a huge difference, and give the area that you are going to paint in a thorough cleanup (as little dust as possible), then hose the floor down with water so as to settle all the dust on the ground

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
