Why do people blur their license plates in photos when selling cars? Is it still necessary to do this, or was it only really a thing in the days of being able to find out the owners info through the post office?
Can't find out owner nowadays unless you are popo etc.

Closed at $2200, so that's about $2700 with buyers premium.
The mill dril ended at $800 so just under 1k.
Probably not bad given the apparently barely used condition.

Have reg and coughed up. Not 100% sure on travel arrangements as too many balls in the air right now, but I'll probably need a ride/drive from ChCh.

I do not believe so but the opinions of others may vary widely. As stated previously the UK regime of annual inspection for all seems to work quite well.
You can get an MOT exemption (i.e. no WOF) when the vehicle is 40 years old in the UK.

Many of us daily our old cars.
Does it need external checking every 6 months to be 'safe'?

That's not what I said, why would doing a 1 year wof check on a 1999 car be any more risky that a 1 year wof check on a 2000 car?
Do you actually drive an old car? The 6 month wofs are a pointless waste of time and money.

One outer headlight (dip/high beam) gave up the ghost during Beach Hop. I installed these when the car came to NZ in 2003, so last 21 years, fair I suppose.
The working one looked a bit sad too so I though I'd replace both. The centre high beam set are the ones it had in Indiana and seem fine.
Took them out and cleaned up the buckets (I ended up doing all 4) followed by a squirt of Black Zinc. I did the same for the small aluminium trim pieces that go in where the masking tape is, and the blacked-out areas behind the grille that were a bit scruffy.
It turns out that modern Hella lights (stocked at BNT) are all semi-sealed and don't have the nice domed shape so I got a couple of 5 3/4 sealed peams from PartsSelect on TM
Let there be light!
Also picked up some used PP from Trademe.

Myford at Dunbar Sloane in Wellington. Looks well-equipped (what do I know) and barely used.

"all cars must have a wof and reg" feels a bit fascist
DIdn't say they have to be current?

Pulled the leaking valve cover, misplaced gasket would be why it was so bad
Nothing to see here.
Ever get the feeling that your new parts (on the left) aren't as good as the old parts?
I think I'll hang on to the old cap, even though it's a bit damaged. Might see if there is a more $$$ option on Rockauto next time I order.

Got some paint on them and baked it with the heater for a while
Good thing I have some photos from when I took it apart 7 years ago to refer back to for what goes where.
Got one side done, looks better with the pipes painted I must say.
Had to stop and tidy up the work area as we have a couple of house viewings tomorrow. I don't usually tidy up until either the stage of the project is finished, or I can't find what I need.
