Weld then balanced?

Wouldn't just welding it throw your balance out and do more harm then good if unbalanced?

Probably would..

I didn't just take to it with a MIG in my backyard, a very competent machinist welded it up and machined it back to suit the gears.

I would like to see someone weld up a drive in their back yard with the engine in the car

And then take to it with an angle grinder to precision machine the drive flats :laugh:

So ran into a couple if problems, the place I bought the cams off have sent the wrong ones they sent Neo cams and don't think I'll get replacements by next week so will have to go with STD f@#king cams. Plus couldn't source a .82 rear housing so looks like there's ganna have to be cutting and welding of exhaust mani

Well some good news, I managed to source a .82 rear housing so that should arrive within the next couple of days. But as for the cams, still no lucky.

Thanks Mate :)

There's delays getting it going there talking next Wednesday it should be ready for pick up. I'll have to look into some coil overs once I get it back :)

    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
