    Looking good mate. Looking forward to taking it for a hoon. Also, are those fast back tops available or is the cunt to get part because they are a cunt to get haha.

    Convert to 808 coupe for lol’s?

    Cool. If not I can make a template of mine.

    Are they as much fun to drive as everyone says?

    Have you taken the head off to have a look?

    If you go for a bigger/different motor that may require a cert. Are you okay with that? A rowdy as f@$k rotary is always a good option.

    Good work on finding that parcel tray. Have you got a template to make the cover piece?

    Nice score with the Louvres, they're pretty hard to come but un broken and with the clips. I'd totally rock a set if I had them. This will be a sweet sled when finished.

    When is it? Could hit up dad for a favour and drop him off in the Zephyr Convertible? Some issues: If it's in winter it will be beyond freezing in the back. No one there will know what kind of car it is.

    It’s surprising how many of these old Utes are still being driven around in Central Otago. Apparently the Cockies loved them as the low gearing coupled with some knobbly tires on the back meant they went anywhere. I like the wheels and think the red and silver pairing will look good with the White.

    Not at this stage, but thanks for the offer. Mines road legal and I like driving it around. Got to get the FC running before I take the ute off the road.

    How hard are these to convert to rotary? I know there is the REPU but I seem to remember some sharn about it not being as straight forward as you would think for RHD? Bagged, C’notched and rotary was always the plan for mine. Still is.

    Convert it back to left hand drive and piston power!
  15. kiwi808
    Drill it. Drill it NOW!

    Flares don’t make a wide body, just ask @kyteler haha. Good to see some progress happening. Modgies are sweet and always a good wheel choice.

    Seriously though, I hope this Magic’s itself better. Overheating issues are the worst. Especially when you have tried so much to fix it.

    Look, I hate to be the one to have to point this out but.... Rotary. Your welcome.

    Airbrush rota art is awesome. Please replicate. Cool having a bit of the history with the car. Makes for better sharns when out and about! /sidesharn #lingor When I sold my last Moggy Minor, I was the 4 owner, but it had only been owned by 3 old ladies prior. (Cool story bro) It then changed hands a few times and popped up at a car show in Auckland. I was like “oh cool, my old Moggy!” But the new owner was very scathing of this remark and corrected me by saying it had only had 3 old ladies owners before him. I played along for a bit before getting my phone out and showing him the car in my garage sandwiched between a couple of Mazda’s. He was a little sheepish after that. Twat. Disclaimer: this has to be one of my best/worst side sharns that is completely irrelevant to thread. Sorry/not sorry.

    There are some good solid 12a motors out there, but housings are getting harder to find. Go hard for what they are etc. The same can be said for older 13b housings. You could go modern churbro motor but that needs more Ned’s for computers etc. I vote find a solid 12a and make all of the revs.

    So glad you are doing the right thing and working through all the previous poor workmanship. Those fuel lines were terrible but I think you need to keep the gearbox mount. Not to use, but as a sort of homage to the previous owners. New mount is a work of art!

    I had a good chuckle at the ‘bolt colour conundrum’. I was fully suckered and lol’d again at how quickly it escalated haha. I know now this would have been the plan all along, but I can honestly say, at first, I thought that bolt was annoying you. Brilliant effort as always mate. Love your work.

    At high school my mates dad had a genuine one and Pete used to do skids in it everywhere. Until one service Giltrap Holden charged his dad for a second set of expensive tyres in 6 months. Good times. Sweet car mate. Probably my favorite Holden.

    Nice work on the return to chrome! As an FYI you can buy the number plate brackets from Phil’s Rotaries for the front bumper. Worth getting so you can mount the front number plate properly.

    Welcome to the 808 coupe club! Cool car mate. Well done.
