heyyy ZOL WHY SO MANY POSTS ?
this could by new full time job for a while   HEY want a handy winter hint..get ya hands on an old used hot water service,preferably about 200 litres, strip it down to the internal tank. Cut a square hole about 1/3 the way up form the bottom>its the bit with the concaved dome < about 300mm square, dont throw the cut out away, will be used later..Once you have access to the internals youll find 100 mm round pipe inside, cut this thru as close to the bottom as possible..might have to be done with a hacksaw.Now cut a ring around the top of the tank where that 1oo mm pipes been welded to it, and remove it completely from the tank.Get 4x10mmx100mm bolts and some nuts,,drill some holes to siut about level with the bottom of the square cut out, stagerd at about 90 degrees, now find an old open grill plate and cut into down to size to sit on the 4 bolts that protrude inwards into the tank, sit the plate on there.Find the cut and and 2 steel door hinges, bolt to front of tank like a door, add an extra bolt tothe door as a handle..sit in on some bricks make sure its stable..load some kindling and start your FIRE..ONCE ITS GOING LOAD ERR UP WITH GOOD WOOD..and watch the FALMES REACH SKYWARD..ROARS LIKE roscos jetcar...OH ITS ENAMELED on the inside too.will hold the heat real well...becareful too, you might wanna customise a flue ...1 INSTANT POT BELLY STOVE...it will breath via the bottom if you leave some space between your bricks, the old plumbing holes help too.. |

Re: heyyy ZOL WHY SO MANY POSTS ?
HO WINNER IN..........wa....... The HO finds a home!
Well, we've finally done it - the prize draw for the wonderful Ford Falcon GT-HO Phase III tribute car. The job fell to Uncle Phil, who then got to make the phone call to the lucky so-and-so who won it. Actually, it couldn't have gone to a better home. Winner Colin Dickinson lives in Perth and is already a huge Ford fan. He has three in the shed, including an XR8 Sprint and an EB GT. What's more, he was just about to go out and buy himslef an XY Ford, as he'd suddenly developed a taste for classic seventies metal. And here's something that's a little spooky: he was good mates with the father of Daniel, the young bloke who did much of the build at Grand Tourer. Colin was beside himself when Phil called. First he was convinced the whole thing was a hoax, then he admitted he was shaking with excitement,. "I've never even won a chook raffle before," he confessed. Getting the the car across the continent to its new owner is going to be a bit of a task, and we'll let you know how it goes. THE SELFISH BASTA..... |
