New wheels as of just the other day
Runnig sweet already sorting lowering block monday hopefully should be in on wednesday





Painted up the wheels Gloss Black and cleaned up the hub-cap


just brushed on the white wall but think i got the mix wrong lol
Whats a good paint? if anyone can help that would be sweet save me repainting them all the farking time


1600cc of raw power!!


Was my old wheels b4 this, traded her in, was getting costraphobic haha

[oldnrusty]

Yea VolksWagons still around, will get stuck in as soon as i sell my motorbike


Before shoots




White walls looking SWEET


Been lucky enough to keep the VW under cover, as the smashed sunroof/perspex mock-up is leaking Farkers!!






Loving that 80s brown!!


Leaf spring on this side was such a pain in the arse to separate from the axle,
was like rusted togeather, in the end we had to drop it down on
the drum brake to put tension on it, still didnt let go! so then i smash the leafs with
a sledge hammer, finally snapped apart


Can see the differance in size, so had to drill out the shock plates and squeeze the U-bolts to fit


Re-did the white walls.......


....Came out really good, pretty happy with final result


Next day tho, they cracked pretty bad on the fronts, cause i painted them so big
the force from turning i think is making them freak-out




looked SWEET the day i did it ,and really cant be fuct doing it again, at least not at the moment


Next job, lower the front (Running torsion bars so easy fix) not going to slam it but needs to come down alittle
was thinking some stencil action (cause pretty much havent had a car that hasnt had some) was thinking with
the whole yellow theme maybe some taxi checker board shmit running down the side, and then re-do the deck
with some nice hard wood slate acton
and get rid of that stupid "King Of Cars" sticker, keep on forgeting to do it

[oldnrusty]

Trying to get the deck sorted out, Had 2 weeks paid leave off so was all keen to get heaps done
on the ute but have been moving house so had to work around that.
Tried to get it all sorted out in one day, but just getting the old crappy ply off turned into a
shit fight. So was abit ambitious and maybe cause i didnt get up and into it untill mid-day
didnt really help

Anyway everyone loves photos so here.....

Few Curb Hoppers


Was good fun driving around in the wet with no deck, water pissing out ten feet high
And rocking that wiring dangling between her legs lol good shmit

Gave it all a good coat of POR15 i had left over from the VolksWagen


Came out pretty sweet even tho its all gona be covered up, shouldnt rust out on me
and considring ive spent a fair bit on the new wood better make it count


Just done a secound/touch up coat tonight will post new photos once the decks finish


Green Heart, Hard wood timber decking




Its GOOD even says so...See


Really nice wood, got it all cut to lenght (paid for NO waste), and for what it costs you wouldnt want to,
All up was 36 meters worth,


Just picked up some nice stainless steel coach bolts today, 102 in total!!! not cheap either.
Going to get some oil for the wood tomorrow in my lunch break, and after work hopefully ill
have the deck back on, and all the other shmit bolted up eg wheel gaurds and shmit

[oldnrusty]

So Finally ive sorted out the deck, has turned out really well.
Njoi


First one down 6 bolts in....


.....17 plankets and 98 more bolts to go.....


8 plankets, by myself, took like 2 hours!!


So thats all i could be funked doing that night....


.... but with a couple of mates the next day finished it off nicely


And hadnt really posted any nice photos of this so went for a cruise and got some better ones


Still not sure if i want to paint the whole deck frame with POR15,
Black deck and yellow cab mite get alittle bubble bee


Will sort out that gap later. Deck was exactly 18 plankets wide "on paper", and didnt really fit
so im going to get another planket cut the middle out of it and run it down the outsides


















Loving that mud flap sitting in the weeds...


.....So got it home and decided that enough was enough, time for front end to meet some tarmac




Easier than busting out the jack Lasy fuck


Love this photo, not a big fan of yellow cars (go figa), so im letting it get as dirty as i can
Ill be pist off if some one cleans it but mite have to when/if i do this stencil acton


Teezer, heres a sneak-peek, as you can see shes on her bump-stops
Riding a tad boucer than before reminds me of my old Mazda b1600

Just whipped up some stencil options for the ute

paint is the real photoshop, FTW


You get the idea

Will post photos of it lower during the week
Went back to the same place to get some comparasion photos, and will get some of it on the flat

[oldnrusty]

Alright so, as promised, even if it is abit late.
After the lowering



Now those mud flaps are sitting in the weeds




Didnt quite park it up in the same place, but you get the idea.






Bit of wank cloud acton

Will get some photos of it on the ground so you get a better idea of ride height. Sits so much better, and brougth the back down a tad aswel. bumpy as funk tho but all good fun

Still havent sorted out the last bit of wood to run down each side, but will sort it out.
Finally getting back into the Volkswagen, Getting a narrow beam made and sent up to me hopefully just in time for Nats
will see, still got the brakes and door sill to sort, oh yea and WOF fingers crossed

[oldnrusty]

Photo of it on level ground



Blowing abit of smoko lately, I put in some oil the other day, and im hoping its just coz its too lite weight/thin
gona try do an old change and see what happens, hope its not rings, dont really want to be speanding the money on her at the moe, spent enough on the volkswagen to do me 4 awhile

[oldnrusty]

Went to the Threatham HotRod Show on the weekend
loaded up the ute with me and my mates lowriders




Mine are the two on this side,


This is my mates, I built it awhile ago for him, 144 spokes in those wheels that i rebuit by hand! wat a cunt to build
and he wants to re-do them (not "RyanFels" lowrider tho very alike)
Never should have said i was a bicycle mech.

[oldnrusty]

WOFs up for this beast, so been working onit, doing stuff i know its going to fail on
Ride Height
Few little rust holes in the floor (really small, pin head sort of stuff)
Reverse lights
mufflers not doing alot, snapped off just in front of it sounds sweet
and two slow leaks in the tyres


Our Truck Bay is kinda turning into my garage


Looks like someone has done some work on the brakes at some stage, discs look sweet and new pads on the frnt
and the master cylinder looks pretty new aswel


Crawled under her and sprayed it with some under bidy sealer in a can, That shit hurts when you get it in your eye


Surf is the bosses husbands car, asked me if i could bolt some panel on for him, so getting abit of cash in hand for that


thats all fof now, will undate for how the WOF goes,
Fingers crossed

[oldnrusty]

Still sorting stuff out on the Ute for the Wof.

Made it look abit cleaner on the inside. there are heaps of patch repairs in the floor,
looks as if its sat in a field at some stage, and rusted out the floor.
No holes or anything anymore but pretty patching job.


looks heaps better, should have gotten before shoots.


Found some carpet, laid that down. theres a leak coming form somewhere so mite
have to pull it out after but looks good for now


managed to make it out of one piece, was such a mission.


After i finished this i found a few rust holes in the bottom of the drivers door manly
few little ones on the other side as well. so ill pull those off and take them to the panel beaters
shouldnt be too much
Then get the exhaust welded up, and that should (touch wood) be it

[oldnrusty]

Bought and sold in space of 4 months... love it but too much rust for me to deal with. Sold today for what it owes me.

Actually sold this car in Feb, guy couldn't make payments as agreed so I took it back. He had given me his red TE sedan towards it which I swapped to my mechanic for labour on my Chevini... anyway will have to hook him up with some cash from sale of uterus.
Guy who has it now is a mate so will keep up with progress for all the websites I have the ute on...
Dunno if you guys get Performance Car Magazine from NZ in Ozzie but it was in there last month!

[crazytim]

Right... if there is an award for biggest most trusting dickhead I get it! Me! No votes, straight up just send it straight to me, PM me for address!

I did it again... the guy I sold it to after getting burned the first time was too paying it off.
Paid me 5hundy deposit followed by $100pw until June- havn't seen a bean since so I am out by $1000.

He lives (I believe) in Manurewa. I am looking for info of the vehicles where abouts so I can turn up at his house or work and hopefully get the keys or my money. If I get the keys my plan is to sell on a Trade Me auction at $1000 reserve, and being the non parasitic GC that I am the current owner will get anything over the $1000 I am owed, despite the immense hassle this whole thing has caused...

Anyway if anyone has seen it even if it was a few months ago and can remember where I could use the intel!

Again, the oldschool.co.nz dickhead award... vote crazytim!

[crazytim]

PS OLDNRUSTY!

[oldnrusty]

Anyhow, PM me ur address and ill get them up, nowthat ive have all 4.

[crazytim]
