One of the member here in the forum guide me to www.pacolonline.com the prices for the tub look very good and the pics look awesome. what I'm not so sure is this.
The tub comes ready to be install, you remove all the rust from thebpillar back. Comes with the supports under the floor. The railing comesre-enforced so you can drill and tap the holes for the hard tub and thebucket seats. It doesn't come with the holes pre-drilled for the emblems,corner reflectors and side markers, so if you don't want to use them don'thave a problem with extra holes.
What do you guys think about that????

That Pacol tub sounds like an option if you are capable of what needs to happen to get it to mate up. I've met Oscar and he seems like a great guy and I've heard nothing bad from people who have dealt with him.
On the 4.5L swap, I'm not sure there are adapters available to mate it to a H42. You would have to get it with whatever 5-speed it was mated to from the factory (H151F or something?? - not a US option) or an auto (from a US-spec 80 series).

well that is good to know about the pacol tubs. I don't think I'm going to be doing the body work or at least not the all of it.
on the swap I don't know. I don't want an auto. I was hoping to get an adapter untill a can get my hands in a 5 speed

Hi guys, Can somebody advise me what type of primer to use. I know marine primer is the best. is there a brand or a aplication that is better
thanks for the help
thanks for the help
Since you are in FL and any bare metal will probably flash rust in minutes. I would hit the freshly blasted parts with a weldable primer. Are you now planning to patch that tub or still going to replace?

well I plan is to buy a 3/4 tub and use the front part of my tub that look in good shape. where can I get that type of primer?
