Re: Mrelshauno's 1850 (GD) Coupe begins
In stripping down the body I found rust behind the bumpers.

Re: Bumpers - What to do?
Got some rust kill type product today and a primer. I will put something up on the tech board to show you all how it goes.
I may have a problem with a couple of rusted bolts.........

Bumpers - What to do?
Hi guys, After some advice. My GD Coupe bumpers are in fairly good nick (lucky I know, made up of bits to get what I've got) but has scaly rust on the back of both of them. I thought of sand blasting but I don't want to risk damaging the chrome as it's pretty good. I thought I could give them a good...

Re: A number of questions, please have a go>
Thanks again Jason. I do agree about the chrome look anyway. It will look good against the red that it will be painted. The gap to the tower is tighter than that in mine. Something to sort out I think. Rubber seal is now added to the list of parts required. Number 4 problem has been resolved. Some g...

Any NZ owners of these?
Hi guys,
I was wondering if there were any New Zealand members on this forum with a Sapporo/Scorpion?
I am looking for a rear diff for one if someone can help.

Thats the look I was after for my GD.
What size are the wheels you have gone with?
Any chance of giving out the paint code?

Re: A number of questions, please have a go>
I don't think they are modified. There has been a prang in that corner some time in the past. The master cylinder looks to be the same as the one pictured in my Haynes manual.Scorpma82 wrote:You got modified brakes on your car?
sounds like you've got a different master cylinder on the car that doesnt quite fit

They look different to the GTO 5 Speed badges from over here. I have a collection of badges downstairs. I will try to find and post later.
