Many primers are porous to water ... the point of a primer is to prepare the surface to take paint and (sometimes) provide a thick surface to sand to make up for irregularities in the metal. They don

A few years back, when I was rebuilding my TR4As front suspension, I wanted to put in new springs. So I looked in TRF's catalog and found 213165 T46 Front Coil Spring, stock grade and bought two. Whe

_Can_ I drain it in place? Yes, if you're careful. On the passenger side, exactly analogous to where the fuel line is on the driver's side, there's a drain plug. It takes a Whitworth wrench on the he
