Little 25 treasures

paint it body color

 

[Living in the Past]

Why stop there. Do like a lot of PO would do. Do a half a$$ job of taping off the old emblems and a few other things and paint everything under the hood body color

 

[dkroth]

Get a spare cover and paint it black. Then you can switch back and forth depending on your mood...

I am going to do it right and paint it black. Except this time, I am going to media blast it down, epoxy prime it and use an automotive grade base/clear job on it. I have some black basecoat laying around somewhere. It should be spiffy in the end.

I am tempted to put the decals on the base coat and clear-coat over them to protect them.

Just don't know how resilient they are to the harsh clear-coat chemicals.

Thoughts/opinions?

he's a very repuitable person...and he may have duplicated every know sticker that came on cruisers...or at least most every

[JohnnyC]

Grease gun.

Got this at a swap meet . It has toyota motor writen on it. Is this a 25 one ?

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Nice swap meet find, that's the pattern, I'm not sure how long they used it but it's correct for the 25.

 

[foxfab]

How about an original Denso 12V coil?

or a jack bracket?

 

[Aussie 25]

Lost parts.

Nice find I got a home for them if they are Lost.

This thread needs a bump. By far my fav thread in the 25 section.

My latest find. Pretty cool. Had no idea the switch rotated more than just 3 positions.
