hiya- are you a kiwi living oregon?

love the repu- i want one so bad but none here in england!!!

 

i had to shorten it for the maf to fit there.

 

using some castrol super clean and a rag did some cleaning.

 

Wow! That stuff did wonders. Nice job, it's looking real good!

 

thanks if you rub to hard with the stuff the paint will come off lol

 

spent a few hours cleaning the paint up used a buffing compound and did it by hand the old paint cleaned up pretty good

It's looking real sharp now. That's the first that i've seen of the side stripes in that color combo. I think it looks better than just plain white.
I did the same to my REPU to match my newly painted tailgate. Mind if i post some before/after pics.?

 

you are welcome to post pictures ill be glad to see it

 

Applied and manually worked the magical rubbing/buffing compound to the body to match the freshly done tailgate and voila!

 

wow your truck is awsome.. paint turned out great to congrats..

 

Thanks, as is yours.

 

stop it! stop it! you fellas are making me jealous- i want a repu!!!

Good work on paint- your so lucky!

 

Wow 2 nice looking blue repus!

repuzentin - I can hardly tell the fresh tailgate paint from original paint in the pictures looks great!

blyfly - I think i need to try some of that castrol superclean under my hood. Its not terribly dirty but I wonder if I can use it to get the brighter yellow overspray off and leave the original yellow. Someday when I repaint I want mine to be original yellow again...

 

Thanks, i was quite pleased with the outcome.
How do you like your '77 REPU?

 

thanks ratboy

but as you can see this truck was used pretty good theres a dent every 6" lol by the time im finished ill be a pro panelbeater

the castrol super clean will take the over spray off if you rub for a while lol

 

I love my REPU but I havent driven it in probably 7 months now. Im replacing the clutch, adding a banzai oil pan brace and replacing my lower control arms with 2 that I refurbished. Its taking a while with 2 small kids around but blwfly's progress is shaming me into working on it lately!

 

Wow! Both of your trucks are looking really good guys. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

 

lol i only have one small child

 

i only have one small child so i guess i have half more time
glad i could shame someone into workin on there repu lol
thanks repumax

my to do list is getting shorter by the week lol
this weekend ill have to make a clutch slave hardline that goes from corse thread to fine to hook the t2 slave .
finsh my ecu harness tape it up and put heat shielding on.
finish cleaning the engine bay then put it all back together once my injectors arive from rc.

 

Hurry up and replace your parts that way you can start driving it again. Otherwise, just send the horn button my way and i'll take care of it for you in the meantime.

Yeah, blwfly is just flyin' on his project- way to go dude!

 

How you doin' Max? Thanks for the compliments. Going to SSXII this year? If so, i'll see you there.

 

When my clutch slave cylinder gave out, i replaced it with a 1st gen. slave cyl. thinking that the thread pitches were the same, but ofcourse they weren't because it had the fine thread pitch.
So, i went ahead and replaced my old clutch m/c as well with a 1st gen. one, got rid of the repu's original hard line and replaced it with a 1st gen. line, and used Atkins ss braided flex hose by Goodridge.
Problem solved.

 

i wonder if the t2 master has the same bolt pattern as the 1stgen that would be nice.

thanks dude.

 

I can't make it this year and I'm bummed. I'm into 2 stroke street bikes just as much as rotaries. I'm going to a 2 stroke show the same day as SSXII. I've been building this bike for 2 years so I've gotta take it to the show.
