Rough measurement brings the nut to about 25ish mm? Appreciate the offer & might have to take you up on that if it doesn't free up soon. Will keep hammering away . Haha love it, I'll stick with something a bit more sedate though. The frame is too solid to alter completely. Thinking of chopping the rear guard though & lower for sure.

Ah clever! No welder though, but I'm thinking of getting a large socket and grinding away everything but 4 prongs maybe. Not sure if it'll hold up.

Yeap, its well and truly stuck on there. Thinking I need something I can attach to a impact wrench or breaker bar

Some of you may know I picked up this v50 a while back off P_star, who also lent me a helmet (thanks mate) 49cc of 2 stroke fury, it's been serving me well as a general run around, getting me to work, smoking up a storm etc. Plans are to keep this one as it is really, with the addition of a leg shield and the missing rear pod (both incoming). So yeah I have a problem, enter the project c50. Got it running, went for a hoon which was mega lols due to an exhaust with more rust than steel. (Looking for one in good nick if anyone has it kicking around). Then proceeded to make a mess on the driveway. (Note the essentials strewn everywhere, 2 hammers + screwdrivers as pry bars) Frame almost stripped except for the stem Bastard nut holding progress, anyone know where to get the right socket/tool? Bit of damage on the rear guard (+ a touch of rust) Also bought a pretty sweet helmet/bubble shield combo, so damn comfortable. Now I'm unsure what to do with the c50, it's really solid bar the rear guard so I'm hesitant to chop it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good metal worker that could sort the damage? Would need to be a metal only job as I'm thinking of getting the lot sandblasted then powdercoated. Pros/cons to powdercoating? Issues with colour matching plastic bits? Seems far more economical than a full paint job to me, but hell, I know nothing. Thinking a lifan 125cc motor will go well in this, with a bit of a gearing change to increase top end speed. Might go with a manual if I can figure out if the clutch will work on the scooter, otherwise semi auto. Anyway, comments/criticism welcome. Help a brother out, or tell me I'm nuts.

I'm not that low and they suck, even at an angle! Mitre 10 lot is flat and has all the quick fix supplies you'll ever need

That park n ride has a couple of speed bumps we'd have to navigate if not there before 8am. First rows of parking spots fill up quick. Will be going to this.

x2. This shit is so sweet. Ed, would you consider doing aux retrofits for beer money at any point? Need to get rid of this newfangled sony thing sitting in the centre console eventually. Or sell off unwanted units, you know where to find me.

Those pictures turned out awesome Roman, lighting in the kp looks cool!

Don't be all self conscious now James

Who's up for this month's meet?

Bedford and the truck were awesome, backed by some decent noise too

Mainly been working through the small things for a while now, 1 vacuum leak sorted, 50 to go. First thing was making some sweet ramps so I can get the jack under Colour matched the front valence, didn't strip the chip guard, it's pretty sweet I reckon. A bit of maintenance, oils, coolant, filters, plugs, all the essentials done. Air filter was especially bad, this was after trying to vacuum the damn thing, binned it. Removed stupid bonnet foam that keeps sagging and filling engine bay with dust, reaaaally messy job, make sure you use drop sheets or whatever over the engine bay 'cause the shit goes everywhere. Also, Desolv-it is the business. Bit more intake noise coming through to the cabin, stoked! Oh, managed to rub through the exhaust, bit too much noise, made me pine for a tractor though, Now runs under the axle, inline with the wheels so fairly safe from bumps, All in all, shit runs better now. Once the rest of the air leaks are sorted I can work on the timing, isn't much point beforehand since it'll be out of wack every time there's a fix. Think that's about it! Till next time..

So would I haha, but I like to kid myself

PFFT WE GET FOOD WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE THE CAR

Solex 4a1? I have the same carb and they can be absolute dogs if not clean and leak free. Worth a going over in any case. Then start to look at ignition. Edit: also on an e21

Will actually be on time this meet... I think

Also interested in one since I'm planning to relocate it to the boot. Where is this place? If you don't mind

Fuck yes dude, a dream car for sure! Will be following this eagerly. Plans? How's the driveline?

Why are you still high enough to get in that lot!

Turned up a bit late but managed to catch up with some. That sierra was so so sweet!

Maybe turning black wheels white = magic trick?

Probably used to stop overspray from getting to the tires.

Anytime man, dunno why I have so many stands haha. Shotgun a ride when all sorted

So stoked for you man, how's it drive?

How much will said shiz earn you? Charge per log or on some sort of rental scheme?
