I'm expecting a baby and the wife wants a van, time to let this go  Forum members and just throw pricing at me since I really don't know what the going price for these things are any longer, the cars been in the garage on jack stands since these photo's were taken and I have not since done anything to the car besides clean up the gas tank and cleared up the gas line, changed the fuel pump, radiator is original to my knowledge and is a Behr unit and redone, new master cylinder, new battery is probably now dead.  Car used to run, needs a new slave now...

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for the invaluable knowledge and wealth of information on this board, I will continue to frequent here, just life and a new baby takes precendence over this one, there are other vehicles that I need to sell also besides this one...

Hi folks,

     I'm looking to get my NK rolling before the end of summer and would like to get original bits

I'm looking for a trapezoidal mirror or a pair of them.  I would also like to find a rear view mirror, thanks!

Ken

have any of you guys looked into hydrographics?  You can match any color, any pattern, and purportedly will last decades and stands weathering...

Ken

Top notch work!!!! I'm so envious!!!!

so who bought it? please do tell!

Ken

Are these fading because they're exposed to some sort of UV? Or are they just fading in general?

Ken

I didn't do anything, finals are coming up and so I've left the battery on a tender...I'll update after finals are over. Thanks Luis.

Ken

Was the customer being stingy with funds? The reason why i ask is because the engine bay wasn't cleared and well as the underbody, lots of overspray underneath...just curious and not flaming or talking down about your work.

Regards,

Ken

Also curious, did you media blast the metal before the bodywork? Or just left the old paint and worked the new paint/primer over it?

Thanks Tom.

Luis,

I'm not used to how weak/strong a 6 volt system is compared to a 12, however, compared to the cranking power of the old battery, there isn't much difference with cranking power with the new interstate 19L battery. As per the starter, i have not looked into it yet. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ken

Ive searched the forum to no avail; my question is, does anyone have any knowledge of manufacturers that produce a 6 volt lithium ion or dry cell, preferably lithium ion. I ask this because my interstate 19L for my Ti doesnt seem like its cutting it. My motorcycle battery was in the same situation and i replaced it with a lithium ion and the cranking was a lot stronger. I've searched the net but I'm not sure of the proper keywords to use. Can anyone shed some light on this question? Thank you

Ken

ok will do

Master Cylinder Rebuild Kit

Factory Tool Roll

I'm interested as well, Blunt should have an answer for us if he's not too busy.

Yes, just one set for now, I have a list of people that also want a set as well, as soon as I get a price and quantity then I'll have my uncle punch It out, also have been requested to do the roundel backing on the trunk lid, I'm gonna ask him if he can do it...

Don't know if this is a NLA or not, but I had my uncle make a set out of a solid piece of aluminum...check it out! opinions please.

P.S. the OEM gold set belongs to Neil AKA McMil, THANKS NEIL!

I'd love to see the ones you're talking about Kit...can u see if you can post some pictures? Thanks

So i've resolved this little dillemma...

1_rolled down the window

2_removed the "safety" pull stop / door lock / lock pull

3_coat hanger and pliers at the lowest possible part of the lock pull....pull up on the lock pull as you're using the coat hanger to help with the stuck lock

my "safety lock" wasn't engaging all the way to the door handle...years of dirt I suppose....therefore I couldn't unlock the darn thing, so what i did was open the other door panel / card up on the other side and took a gander and realized that I can make a slight hook with a coat hanger and help the door lock disengage....on the other side...took a little bit of doing 10 minutes later and two wire coat hangers later, the darn thing fully unlocked and I was gleeming from ear to ear....I thought the door was rusted shut and was feeling hopeless...but things worked out in the end! good luck with your doors!

Ken

Steve,

Your car is beautiful! It actually puts a smile on my face just to see another NK saved from the scrap yard...It actually puts a smile on my face when I work on my car lol....kinda like a kid that gets new toys I suppose...I'm working on my brake and clutch system myself....hopefully I won't have to tackle the transmission...scared of that..but it is what it is...if you need tools, harbor freight sells em cheap enough that you can use them a few times and throw them away if its not something you need to use consistently...GOOD LUCK with your endeavors, I thank this board and Tom and Neil and others for their knowledge and experience!

Ken

Where would a person purchase ATE super blue in the west coast? Thanks!

Ken

did you need spacers for the rear?

Why don't I just give you the money when I return the service manual back to?

Ken

On Friday the following arrived:

Tires

Brake hoses

Flex Disk

Rear Brake Drums

Wheel Cylinders

Wheel Cylinder Rebuild Kits

Heater Hoses

Breather Hose

On Saturday the following were completed:

*2 rear wheels had new tires were mounted and balanced (original fronts and spare still on car. Will replace after I spin the car and lift front end).

*Flex Disk was removed, replaced with new flex disc and new nylock nuts. Torqued to 35lbs.

*The new rear brake hoses were installed.

*Rear brake shoes were removed. Wheel cylinders were removed. New wheel cylinders could not be placed as the inset mount is triangular instead of round(FAG). Turns out the originals are ATE.

* Rebuilding the wheel cylinders is the next option. While taking them apart, it was learned why the rear wheels were frozen. The wheel cylinder pistons were frozen in the cylinder. After using brake cleaner, the pistons loosened and were able to be extracted. The cylinders were then cleaned and the rebuild kits were installed. The newly rebuilt cylinders were reinstalled. (sorry, no pics).

*The breather hose was trimmed to length and installed.

I'm postponing replacing the rear shocks until I do more research as to the appropriate replacements. (Still contemplating all options).

I'm waiting on arrival of the new rear brake shoes and half shaft boots to finish off the rear end, so that I can replace the rear wheels, drop the car, pull it out of the garage, spin it around, and begin working on the front end.

In the mean time, I'll change the fluid in the diff (90wt gear lube).

interested in the rebuild kit for the rear wheel cylinders, perchance you would have the info so i can purchase a few sets. thanks

ken

Neil, I'll take these off your hands!
