sebpv Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I wear an MSA full mask when I sandblast. I had hard time breathing in the past due to not wearing a breathing mask. As for the compressor, Im unfortunately stuck with the 25Gal until the big 80 is finally hooked up. I try to run it as long as I can each time. There is an air filter on mine with a reservoir. Water accumulation was barely visible despite running 3 lengths of hose. A handful of times the pistol jammed due to moist sand so Im doubting the filtration efficiency... 2 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 My area of expertise is also pools. Sadly I dont think we keep any on hand. I might go confirm that. I also bought 5 bags at Rona, but they were kept outside in the winter. I let them thaw in a heating storage but never opened them until yesterday... 1 Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's a little late now, but sand goes everywhere when you blast including the inside of the suspension parts. 1 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 which specific parts are you referring to? Where the torsion bars mount? 1 Quote Link to comment

sebpv Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ill try to hit the frame with compressed air in every nook and cranny. Im getting upper rubbers for the CAs I believe and I can always grease the spindles. 1 Quote Link to comment

orangie Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Made a bracket to mount the EGR valve and oil separator on the valve cover. It looked stupid. I'm putting it somewhere else. 2 Quote Link to comment

DatsunHiLife Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 put some green LEDs in my dash (they look to bright in this pic but they are perfect) and upgraded my alternator to a 140A internally regulated one from Datsunstore.com No more dimming lights and my two 10in subwoofers aren't robbing my electricity. 3 Quote Link to comment

I have a Ford 9", a 4-link, and a panhard kit to work onto the back end of the 620 at some point this year... Stubby axles and a tubbing are in order as well. *wringing hands* 3 Quote Link to comment
