MarkGPZ Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Since my last update I've got another job so the majority of my time is working at the moment, but being part time I still manage to get a few days off a week which gives me a bit of time to work on Vietnam Ive had a few things done in the past moth and a half, including a full custom stainless exhaust, wooden steering wheel (from Japan), new wheel bearing, put in a TRS helmet hammock to put random stuff in, rust proofed and painted the new boot floor top and bottom. Exhaust is now the 4-1 mani going into a "3 downpipe to a stainless flexi, then a 24" long silencer continuing 3" back over the axle to a £20 jap can I found in a local scrappy, which surprisingly silenced the exhaust a lot! This was all made by my dad at GPZ Automotive! If any of you are around needing an exhaust making I cannot recommend my dad enough, he puts so much care and attention into making each system perfect and at a very reasonable price! The wooden wheel I imported a few years ago for my Micra and I finally just bought a boss and put it on, was strange at first being so small but I love it New wheel bearing as the old one started clonking Ive noticed that my fuel tank, filler neck and fuel lines are pretty darn rusty! :'( so im thinking when payday comes, I'll put in new copper lines, look into buying a new tank, and making a stainless filler neck, that way I won't have to worry about any of that causing issues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 A for effort. Some nice ideas. I have a spirit level you can borrow if you do any more cutting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha:P if you're on about the bit just behind the bumper then yeah I was going to go a straight line but realised the boot lock and a load of thick metal is in the middle so had to go around that sort of, didn't want to disturb the boot being able to close lol 12 hours ago, dr_broon said: Nice one.

Yeahh my dad's a really good fabricator/ welder, so many people have left happy with his work either it be body repairs, spray jobs or exhaust work, I'd love to be at the skill level he's at but I'm not that confident with a welder to weld smaller pieces of metal together, but I'll get there one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
