thats a big change from 64 !

Andy that is the same tube i have on my 389 between the air cleaner and drivers side valve cover, my one has NO pcv valve it justA tube.

Chad! i am super impressed !! i want one ! who sells them ? that looks wayyyy easier than a sanding disc and less heat too !!

i am going to google it !!!

mate i will pop over right now, stick some beers in the fridge!!! wow!! you must show me whats on that drum thats cutting the paint off ! it looks to be rotating quiet slowly !👍 i cant sand with out the correct lubricant

Fitzy, you will be interested in this, i sold the vr ss commy i have today, spent most of the day cleaning it up and fixing crap on it, guy turns up this afternoon and want to do a deal, he wants my vr and get me to do some plumbing for him and i get a xy falcon ute project less engine a box that he wants 12k for ... now would you know what xy falcon utes go for in ozz ? this is a rolling body, sand blasted , complete 1972 xy ute with registration on hold( which here in nz is gold)

yeah mate, kiwis are truly petroheads !! Taupo is just a little place and yet we have dozens of cool old cars here! this certification stuff is justA pita but we have no choice them be the rulz! i want to get this cortina certified and sold ! i need the space and the boss fancy's the cash!! for her new room !!! happy wife.... something about life.... death... i forget what the saying is !!

looking good wrongway👍 when your done with your paint can i get you to do mine ! i hate sanding ! its pita !!

welcome this is going t be a fun build 👍 Tell us you plans ?

that would be illegal in nz

hahaha

Here in New Zealand if you modify your car in anyway you have to get the modification's certified by the gods.. aka lvvta low volume vehicle testing authority to comply with the nzta ... new zealand transport authority and then you can get a warrant of fitness for your car every 6 months , to be legally aloud to drive your pride and joy🙄 fitzy can relate to this as ozzy has a similar system, except theirs is even harder than nz... well today i spent from 8 am till 5 pm standing around waiting my turn to get the Cortina through its first lvvta inspection.... in this car it has a non stock engine and gear box, diffrent diff and a whole change for front suspension. i came away with a list of 4 items to rectify , none of which where what i would consider major things to change, i had used a bolt instead of a pin for the brake pedal to push rod pivot, i had washers spacing the wilwood front calipers and they want that to be a single bush. they want a rear drive shaft loop to stop the drive shaft from cutting the flow and return fuel lines.... i had piped the line in the drive shaft tunnel and already have a front drive shaft loop. and the guy did not except my aftermarket single circuit brake master cylinder,,,, if it was a factory Cortina one i could keep the single outlet system otherwise it has to be a dual circuit master cylinder. you guys state side are so lucky you dont have all the southern hemisphere bs we have !!!just to keep our old cars on the road legally !! some of the projects where chassis inspections like my mate Johns 56 chev truck chassis, some where there for seat belt mount certifcations this guy with his brand new purchase had no idea that even though he paid big money for a dodge charger it was a real mess under side and the list of things that need doing is LONG ,, i will not elaborate.

fitzy i don't think having negative air pressure in you motor from a vacuum source is an issue, a positive air pressure IS. your motor is basically a big compressor and the crank case needs to be at least a neutral air pressure zone or you will have issues with blowing seals and all sorts. kiss comes to mind. a breather to let air in and a vacuum line to your air cleaner will work fine, a pcv valve was introduced for emissions i believe just having a breather on each valve cover will justA turn into a pita, positive crank pressure will push oil out of the breathers .... ie, piston blow-by been there done that

Nice work Andy👍

Bloody rats ! They are so distructive !

Ah the old square peg round hole trick !!! mate your not alone in the miss happs department i haven’t done anything worthy of this thread but my f- wit younger bother has ! Back in the day we both had fe holdens his was a runner, while I was still building mine ... this super cleaver guy took off one day from our family farm and 30 minutes latter turned up back at home on foot ... white as a sheet ... he had lost a front wheel that he had just fitted ... it took off down a big hill in front of him and the fe came to a messy Holt ! I will never forget him banging on about how it must have been faulty wheel nuts .... he is a mechanic 🙄 he did it again a few year later when he did a skid in his mk 3 cortina ... this time it wasn’t a wheel ! It was a drive shaft he had made out of exhaust tube !!! It twisted itself in half and came up through the floor behind the drivers seat and chopped up the floor ... he was very lucky that day !!? 🙄 family !!! Durrrr 🙄🙄🙄

Yeah we are over you banging on about that bloody car ! Bring back the ride on posts !!! Did you get that rat ???

wow!! what a back lawn!!!!

oh !!! been there done that !!!!!🙄
