ZK Fairlane Pt5 - The Repaired Plenum Chamber Plus More
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Well, here's the second part of our plenum chamber repair, although I did lose some re-assembly footage. Despite the beginning of Winter being upon us and other items to attend to, I'm happy with the progress. Hope you enjoy!
My 74 Dodge Dart has its original Deep Sherwood Poly - very similar to Jade Green. Great job.
The weather has turned cold really quick. You are a trooper to be working outdoors in this weather in a tin shed.
Yeah it's not as enjoyable, but the desire to make some progress is the reason. Once started, the temperature isn't an issue unless it gets under about 12 degrees, then staying inside is preferable haha, cheers.
If it wasn't for my Milwaukee heated jacket, I wouldn't get anything done outside in the cold. People used to say to me that you feel the cold more as you get older. And turning 60 a week ago I can confirm. 🧊
Love your videos Peter.
Great series 👍
All those cars, all those projects, all that space. You're like a dog with two tails. Great stuff sir.
Always a nice way to start the day. A video from Peter Anderson. G'day Pete and good to hear from you again mate.
God Bless.
Regards
Tony
Thanks 👍
Loving the work mate 👌 if you need a hand with suspension parts let me know
Also you not the only 1 not to share videos
Ive been self inflicted busy helping other and trying to clean up but should be back soon
Take it easy mate Byron 👍
Brilliant, thanks mate. I'm rebuilding the entire front end and the rear dependent on requirements. I think I have the pitman and idler arms and the wheel bearings and seals... you gave me those or was it Graham? Cheers and thanks for the comments!
Loving this series/car build.
Me too!
Perfect way to end the weekend, watching an update from you! I was hoping you would put a new video this week.
Thanks for that, I'll take it as a compliment, cheers.

Lovely work mate , it was never painted in the factory so i dare say the old girl wont rust again , but seriously that is magic work mate 👍👌
It's looking really good. The paint protection inside the plenum is so far ahead of anything done by the factory. Excellent for peace of mind. 😊👍
Nice way to finish off the weekend
Thanks!
@@PeterAndersons thank you mate.
The hole they hack in the floor at the factory for the shifter is arguably the roughest thing ever done in the history of roughness. The first time I took the carpet out of my XF to do some repairs I couldn't believe my eyes at what they had done, the metal piece to hold the console and shifter barely covered the hole. I thought my god who the f..k did this.
U sure it hadn't originally been a column shift/bench seat car? I did an XB and I was THAT GUY😮😂 Hacked it open with tin snips - didn't even know that that cover went over the hole 🤦👍
The Ford press shop here in Geelong had the finest craftsmen money could buy...
@@johnkraft7461Hey John, thats exactly what I thought, but I have seen this to many times now for that.
Great work Peter, looking forward to seeing the next steps with the Fairlane!
You and me both... it's a little peach to work on!
Excellent work
This is better than watching Collingwood win.
Sometimes I forget that Peter is a school teacher, then he steps on a piece of cardboard, makes a creak, and has to explain out loud that its not a fart. Then I remember.
I am a bit curious what the reason behind the removal of the A/C is? Is it just hard to service them in AUS? I know as hot (and humid) as it is in the southern states it's tough to go without. Saying that mine doesn't work at the moment because the brain geniuses that designed the car decided you needed to take the entire dash out to replace the heater core as well as the evaporator.
Nah, all parts are easy to get and it isn't a hard job to do, but can be pretty expensive. The old York compressors are an eyesore and I always found them to be inefficient and expensive. A lot of people use a Sanden compressor which is a far better choice, but I'm not going down that road either. I guess, it's down to a few things; engine bay aesthetics, cost and as the car isn't being sold, I don't care about resale, cheers.
Great video Peter 👍I'm doing my XD plenum primarily coz the passenger side bonnet hinge was half rotted away - rest is in amazing condition but, like you, I can't stand the thought of doing cuts to section the plenum. Besides, they are just so hard to clean 40+ years of dust and leaves out of !!! Cheers mate 😎
Nice one Peter. I choose POR15 for the plenum on my XA.
Yes, I used POR in the XW and XC too, cheers.
Good to see you again, Peter.
Keep yourself busy with everything going on in lifetime.

Hi Peter, really enjoyed watching the plenum rust repairs, its a job i will have to tackle one day on my XG and this will help alot. Keen to know what paint brand you are using? i can never seem to get that kind of gloss with acrylic paint,granted i am very much a novice and trying to learn. cheers
Hi Peter. You have single handedly given me the confidence to work on car upholstery, which I've actually just done on my 99 Verada. I know that this isn't the topic of this video but I'm hoping you see this and recognise the good you do. The videos are also quite cathartic in a way and I'm sure many appreciate your great work! Can I also ask what happened to the GH Sigma?
Thanks so much for the great comment! The Sigma is at my ex-wifes place up in the country... I was disconcerted with the way the paint broke down. I think it was from past dodgy repairs underneath... should have taken it back to bare metal. I'll get back to is some day, cheers.
@@PeterAndersons oh well. You live and learn. I've quite a soft spot for that car as it's something to my taste. It was a great series to watch. I'm looking forward to see how this ZK turns out. Jade green is an excellent colour.
Hey Pete! Dunno if you can do me a favor, but the power mirror wiring loom that goes left to right under the dash, can you take a photo of each end of the loom and message pls? I'm looking at installing power mirrors in Ute that has stock loom, and I'm not sure it's standard even in povo packs. Cheers Stu
The LHF door one? Sure I'll do it tomorrow if that's okay. From memory it doesn't go to the right, but plugs into the dash loom. I'll send you some pics in the daylight, cheers.
@@PeterAndersons ok thanks! I might have to make my own loom from drivers to passenger and to the battery if I can't find a loom
Does the bloke at the servo want another gas tank? How do i get rid of one ?
Nice, why did you leave the brace peice over the plenum drain (where it rusted)
I wanted it clear to the point where its all visible. There's no movement at all in the firewall or plenum without it and it will be braced further when the pedal box is installed, cheers.
Thanks Peter. Can you please tell me the brand and specs of those little sanding discs. Cheers Mark

@@PeterAndersons Thanks Peter. Much appreciated. Maybe when I get up to ZK in my Fairlane series I can add a pic of your car when it’s finished? I haven’t done ZA yet so still a lot of time to go. 👍
Do something a bit different Pete, don't put the dog ugly ZK front back on, put a XE front end on it. That way it would be a head turner for sure.
I thought about single lights like an FC or FD LTD but decided against after I found a good set of original lights. I was never a huge fan of the XE front, but have grown to like it with age. To keep the $$ down though, I'll leave as is, but not opposed to altering it later, cheers.
Stick with the ZK front mate, far far better than XE, I’m a fan of the XD front but definitely not XE! 👍👌
@@LachlanWoods-nj3rm If it was "far, far better" the price would be equal to or better than the XE but they simply are not. The ZK and ZJ look has not aged well, where as the XD and XE has. Look, if it was a ZJ I would have said put a XD front end on it. In fact, while were at it , change to the XD/XE dash. You can't tell me the ZJ/ZK dash is sexier.
Fairlane's are never worth what a Falcon is, I think it's more to do with the wheelbase. Short wheelbase models are always more sought after regardless of aesthetic changes... just my opinion haha, cheers.
Mate the pony tail is stupid
Cool, I'm stupid then.
Darren Brown is stupid and bored clearly! Get a life Dazza! 🙄🙄
