DIdn't say they have to be current?

Keen.

Sure, who needs a heater.

I gotta make plans man. Have work drinks too tonight.

Any plan @Mourning Cupcake?

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.

Bags not the A-class

High of 16? I don't mind really either way.

It is OK if you meet the following rules Note 2:

One the plus side I labelled the plugs On the minus side they have mostly faded. Dug out the intake piping, surprisingly well made I thought considering that I did it, but needed a good clean up Inside and out. I don't think I had roloc discs back in the day, they are good for this sort of job. Squirted some good old black zinc inside, will do the outside tomorrow then look at my silicone tube and clamp supplies. IIRC the radiator needs to go in first.

Finally got around to walking in to Otaki Forks again This time we just used the track across the slip, few wooden steps but no drama, then along the road. Only went as far as the old picnic area, which is now available for camping

I’ve seen it, it’s not as good as a Morris, but I like it.

Lets see Muffler replaced, I left the other side there as it didn't look too bad Pulled the door trim off to put a speed nut on the self tapper holding the wing mirror Got some Rock Auto Looked at a grotty engine

Same setup as a Holden twin carb I suppose

Might be on a progressive linkage?

I have a strokers shirt somewhere with the logo 'not just good, but good enough'

With @HighLUX?

Fixed that for you

Pretty keen, might need to borrow some terrible trash car from the wounders though.

Well done on getting it legal. That's a lot of work to get through in two years. Even better is managing to hold on to the car for so long.

Now I know why it’s called HanMeat.

Does the second part apply to vehicles over 14 years of age?

It's the hassle factor more than anything. What makes a 2000 car safer over a year than a 1999? Nothing, that's what. It's a stupid rule, but I don't expect a change.

Yeah, I don't have expectation of it getting better
