Quote from: "J Man"what size is the motor?


2.0L with a hairdryer and intercooler...

Bendsten, I think that is the name of the company, makes adapters for the GM 2.2 4 cyl. The 2.0 and 2.2 Cavalier motor should br really close to each other. You might be able to get their kit to work.

Quote from: "27oakland"As far as shop lights I want to run some round lights that will work in cold weather, anyone have any suggestions? I will not be able to get heat in the building till next year.

Check with your local electrical supply house. They make a highbay and lowbay fixture for industrial applications depending on the height of your ceiling. I would recommend metal halide low bay fixtures. You can get them in different wattages and with multi-tap ballasts for different voltages. 3 or 4  400 watt lowbays will light it up in there. Metal halide produces a bright white light. While high pressure sodium has an orange/yellow effect. (Avoid HPS)
These fixtures take awhile to come up to full power so you might want a few regular incandescents around the entrance/exits.
Also if you go to leave the building and shut the lowbay fixtures off they will take 10 to 20 minutes to come back on.
Some are equipped with what is called a quartz restrike and they will come on faster. So you could put one near the door for general lighting.
Again check with the supply house and ask the lighting guy to help.
They should have some other options for ya.[/quote]

I went to Lowes and they wer supposed to check on some lights for me but a week later no call from them. Ihave had the same thoing happen there with other things I was looking for. I will have to see if there are any building supply places in Toledo or Ft. Wayne.

Yesterday I went and picked up a walk in door and the OSB for the walls in my building. Today I pushed dirt around and got sun burnt. Tomorrow I am going to Enjenjo's and then pushing more dirt around when I get home. Than I am laid off all week so I will be working around the house all week.

Quote from: "J Man"I would be interested if we are allowed to drive our daily.

You can drive whatever you'd like but we'd apprecaited it if the daily drivers pulled up the rear of the pack.  Sound fair :wink:


Works for me. I will even bring my camera to take lots of pictures.

I know MAS will make any width tube axle, then S/B would give me another option. I will keep that in mind if I decide to go with a tube. I just prefer the look of a beam axle.

What kind of axle does and early Anglia have? Anyone know how wide it is?

I am sure a tube axle could be narrowed how about a beam axle? would it be safe?
