You should bring this to Highlands so I can ogle it in person.

Getting old bikes revinned isn’t as hard as doing cars. I wonder if it is worth getting it revinned as stock as possible before bratting it? My dad has put a heap of old bikes back on the road most of which were dead reg. I’ll talk to him tonight and see if he has any tips. Also, nice work not chopping up the red bike. Looks mean stock as rock.

I rebuilt the carb on mine and it made a massive difference. Also, remember to change the lever over on the air cleaner to the winter setting if you haven’t already done so.

Have always wanted one of these. Well actually I have always wanted a Mk1 Jaguar but these are the next best thing. Sidesharn: I very nearly bought one last summer. It was in the back of a guys shed when I was buying a Jet Ski. Looked pretty straight but the reg had lapsed. At the time I didn’t have the space for it. With my new garage being nearly finished I’m going to regret not buying it...

Had mine painted on. $100 for the set. Also means you can run decent rubber as a lot of white wall tyres are a bit meh.

I run white walls on mine. I also printed little Mazda logos for the hub caps.

These are the two areas you want to clean up and rust proof. All the crap builds up in there.

Sweet truck mate! Has the early front too which is awesome. When you get a chance take a good look at the back of the cab behind the seat and under the door rubbers for rust. Also get an air gun and blow all the crap out from under where the rear of the front guard joins the cab. This is a cab killer spot. Make sure you clean it up good and then underseal, rust treat or zink the hell out of it. I would also underseal the cab to protect it if your going to keep it. Otherwise these Utes drive well and were popular with cocky’s and they will often come up and Sharn about how rad these are. Also please add J-Port.

Might not make it tomorrow. A friend has just arrived with a 10litre mini keg filled with Rhyme and Reason’s delicious pale ale.

If you like planes there is an aircraft carrier full of them there. Not that seedy but you will need to do something during the day?

I do my hunting and gathering at New World so I'm all good. Wasn't it around duck murdering season last year we went to Night Caps?

I can’t as we have friends here this weekend.

Nick and I were talking about organising something for next month.

Imagine the awesomes...

I’m so jealous of your Saab’s awesomeness.

Have you tried giving it a bit of a cut and polish?

Get in running, WOF, REG, Rotary engine and some low. Paint later.

Shit yes. Please leave the paint as is. So fucking rad.

He’s shacked up with a former penthouse pet so he doesn’t get out of the bedroom much anymore.

If I didn't have a wife I would have all of the Saabs.

My friend Ed is coming down for this in his MR-2 and staying at mine.

Top job. I fucking love Saab’s.

Maybees. It’s a busy weekend with the Wanaka A&P Show etc. Some more deets would be sweet.

Cromwell street sprints on this Sunday.
