Hows it going everyone??

I got a bit carried away and jumped strait in with the heavy questions, didnt even notice this section!!

Im Bomber. Industrial media blaster/spray painter from Rockhampton, QLD.

Not much to do here in the middle of bum f*ck nowhere, except drink beer play football and play with noisy/fast things. I dislike football so that leaves me with only two options.

I have found mixing the two remaining options leads to some rather interesting ideas, those who have seen my other thread in the delco conversions section will see what i mean.

I have a strange and unnatural obsession with Holden sixes, mainly 202's. I live and breath the stupid bits of crap. I've noticed theres a few other lads on these forums sporting the generals best so its good to know i might be kinda accepted here haha.

The pride of the fleet is my 73 Lj Torana, TOY-202. Was my first car and wont be going anywhere in a hurry. did a full bare metal and bare shell rebuild between the ages of 14 and 16, then pulled it apart again three years ago for an engine conversion that ended in another full rebuild....I've already started planning the next build before the car even hits the roads again, scary.

Again, nothing delco related, my future here isnt looking good....

And the last precious one is my Harley softail, 05OFT. Again, bit of a work in progress, i have a shelf full of go fast bits from the states that i need to get around to throwing in there....

Shit, still no computers......

My saving grace perhaps? About to part this pile of garbage out, atleast it has a delco....



Daily ride is a 99 Honda Fireblade that i REALLY need to sell before i do my license, and have a 80 series landcruiser as a tow car/rainy day car.

Theres some other bits of shit kicking around the shed, a 74 KZ 400 i payed $50 for that im going to do up ONE DAY, and a 71 superbug that i intend on turning into a drag car with an I beam front end, Volvo diff and 202 half way through the firewall.

Well, think that about covers an introduction for now, hope to annoy you blokes for a while to come haha.

Cheers.

"Media Blaster" That's a fancy name for a Sand Blaster.

[Jayme]

I was tryin to figure out wtf a "media blaster" was... it makes sense now

[Holden202T]

yeah they call it media blasting now days cause theres many more different types of media than just sand

Bomber, welcome to the forums, we accept all people delco or not i believe that boat of yours is sporting a 202 aswell isn't it ?

the torry looks pretty nice so far! commodore brakes on it assume from the rims ?

[Bomber Watson]

Hey guys.

Firstly, its been illegal to use sand for abrasive blasting for quiet a few years, so the term "sand blaster" is really really really incorrect lol. Abrasive blasting or media blasting are the new terms :p

Holden202. Mate, sadly the boat is sporting a dirty rotten Veeate, a 308 to be exact. I would much prefer a 202 powered one, and intend to own one one day, but the current one i picked up reasonably cheap, and although i've done a fair bit to it to get it how it is now days it still owes me about half what i could sell it for, so im content with the rotten plastic for now :p

And na, Torry is running HQ front brakes and commy rears. HQ pattern all round. The chasers are just on there to roll it around the shed untill i get tyres for the dragway billets.

Will try to get some more recent picks of that one....

Cheers.
