So this is Audi Daytona Grey, (LZ7S) which is the colour I am painting my car
Photos dont give it justice.

If you need a windscreen PM me, got one at work I ordered in wrong (customer told me his car was hardtop turns out it was fucking convertible) $500ish but open to offers. Brand new genuine etc

Update time

So, upper ball joints are near impossible to find. Autolign only place who had them available and it was wrong!! GC's at Autolign getting them rebuilt for me and way cheaper than anyone else. So should get that warrant this week!

Painted up the engine bay a few weeks back, and rebuild the coolant system.

Life in one photo

Awesome weekend! First time in my whole life I've been to Hanmer. All those sweet cars have given me much motivation to finish my Corona off. Sparks from the Cedric, well everything about the Cedric is beauty. Cheers to the cool people I met ( sorry forgot many names ), and cheers for Emma and Karl for organising and everyone else who contributed to making it a good weekend.

Two Old School Toyota Mishes in one day, both had the wheels scraping. 

That Starlet is my mates little sisters, temporarily had my workshop / garage at home as a spray booth; new midnight blue paint job. The car went back to his place to be put back together and get running again! 

New Wheels

Getting shit done!

getti

And the fun begins! Have claimed the spare hoist at work as mine for the meantime

UPDATE: 
Car failed its warrant, quite the last as below.

But have decided it needs a repaint, and will get all the seats recovered and get it looking amazing.

After looking through things at work, decided on Audi R8 Bronze / Orange

And here is my failure list

As you can see, a wee bit of work ahead....

Ordered all the parts for front suspension, so full rebuild there is underway (decided to do it all once whilst its in bits). 

Also got some wheels for it, nothing exciting but will do the job till I decide on my final wheel choice (SSR MK3's at this point) 

So will rebuild suspension setup in the front, get the new wheels on, will be getting Ryan Scott from Corona Customs to weld up some things and sort the rust out for me. Then recheck!!! 

I got the service department at work to do the warrant, and it had 6 fricken technicians finding  faults with it

Good times ahead! Will keep this updated when I get the time away from the garage

Once the car arrived, found it had a professionally welded stainless exhaust system with lowering blocks in the rear! Had a rank dumpy exhaust which I sold to some bogan who owns a RB for $30, now got the standard straight pipe

Heres some more recent pics

Haha, luckily I didn't get pulled over! There was a wee car crash so the cops were attending that. Just a good photographer  

This is on my list. 

Finished paint today, got some heat paint on my exhaust and tidied up wheels on the paint.

Will be building my new seat in the upcoming weeks, get the bike running mint and be able to keep up with you guys haha! 

Cheers for letting me roll along today, loved it while the bike lasted. 

Haha to scared to flip the bars! Will be keeping this one standard, the C50 is the one getting the work done.

Got out on a ride with the QCR boys today, photos below. 

Painted the exhaust black today, got some factory stickers on and designed my new seat.

Thanks to Chris (bornloser) for the new carb, it is running great now! Just a few issues to sort and I will be getting this out riding.
Can't wait

Will upload new pics once seats done

Hey Ben! Good work man its looking great, top effort. Black wheels look tops to. Did those bolts work that I dropped round to you? I've just got the paint all done on my C50 its looking mint as, ride the MA50 over when shes running strong man! 

So this is my new build, after helping Josh (fliboi) with his one and falling in love when this one came up could not resist. With much advise from him, this was purchased from Auckland.

Photos as below

So keen!! All signed up, will be taking Monday off to after being advised at the OS meet at Pomeroys today it may be worthwhile.... so keen! Will be rolling up in Flibois Corona with him

That used to be up in Whangaparoa a few months ago, surprised its made its way down there. Such a sweet fiat though..

That guy owns the Caffeine Lab on Montreal street, got signwritting now though

I've got a mint Motobatt battery I could sell you for it, came out of my C90 however now its C50 it doesn't need the battery. $40? Barely been used. Let me know can drop it round to if you want Ben

Just bought this FA50 off a mates Dad

Will be my new daily now my office is in CBD and no parking

Will update photos as times goes and I continue to restore more pieces of it.

Well, did not go to plan. C90 needs a lot of work / a rebuild.

Since the frame is actually a c50 I have put another c50 engine in, everythings ready to go so working on cleaning out the carb etc now to get it all mint.

Got reg over the weekend, the lady registered as a "1962 Honda Motorcycle" at VTNZ... universal plates??

Also under N registration which is under 50cc class.

Mounted up plate and tail light

Made some progress on the C90 recently, got the engine out and ready to pull it apart to replace the kickshaft. Also going to register it tomorrow, hopefully it goes all to plan. Should be riding it to work on Monday if all goes to plan.
