Thanks Alex! All sorted now!

Called Jeremy at Southern Autoglass on tuesday, looks like it's going to be $218 fitted for a new screen. But the downside is the screen is in Auckland and could be $50 to ship it down Really want to get the new screen done, manual conversion and some slam before the Mainland Meet to Hanmer. Going to be very busy these next few weeks.

It's been a while but still very slowly chipping away at things. Fitted a 100A circuit breaker to replace the factory fusable link that went to the battery. No power to ignition unless the switch is closed Once I've got my shed set up (didn't fit where I initially wanted to put it) I'll clear some crap out of the garage drive the 180 out, turn it around so I can jack the rear end up sort out the back brakes. Hopefully this weekend!

Need to start cracking into the Laurel so she'll be ready for this. Need more $$$

Dang!

No oldschool whip on the road at the mo, but will have a few seats left in the Daishitsu Derpamaso if anyones keen,

Cheers thanks for the fast reply! Will make a start removing left over sealant and will remove any rust and apply some rust proofing. Looks like Mainland windscreens have a listing for a C31 on there website as well.

Had the post Datsun club Queens birthday weekend cruise motivation buzz this today! Bart came over last night and rarked me up into removing the trim round the windscreen in prep for the windscreen removal. That was a piece of cake a bit too easy I think.... So this afternoon with a bit of help from Kirsty got the windscreen out yay! Although I now need a new one Cracked pretty quick was trying to be careful but oh well s*hit happens! Was quite a mission actually that glue stuff doesn't come off easy. It's not too rusty behind the screen will have to give it a go over with a wire wheel and re asses. New screen it is! Hopefully I can track one down.... If so I'll talk to the dude from Southern Autoglass. Did a pretty good job of Karl's Mk2 Cortina wags screen I hear. Also started putting together my new garden shed with Kirsty's help. Nothing better than a chick who knows how to use a drill! Once I get the roof on I'll put all my spare bits and bobs in it and make more room in the garage to do work on the 180B. Manual conversion coming up soon.

Hi there, just removed the front screen from my Nissan/Datsun C31 Laurel as it was leaking water through the top of the screen and onto me in the drivers seat. I also cracked the screen getting it out so will need a new one.... Will also get any rust done before fitting a new one. Here's some pics to get a better idea:

Maybe straight vodka in a drink bottle instead? Haha

Bugger I get back from Raro on the 20th

Ok so I have bought a new daily...... There is a lot of maintenance that I want to get stuck into but still wanted something I can get to work in. New daily is '93 Daihatsu Charade Detomaso. 1.6L 5spd with factory recaro's and nardi wheel! Got it mega cheap so will save $$ on gas and have a little rice rocket to hoon round in. So the list of things I want to do goes like this: *Fix leaky front screen and repair any rust that could be lurking underneath *Alloy Radiator will be much cheaper than a re-core as mine is pooozed! Would be nice to drive up hills again without risk of BHG *5spd conversion, pretty much have all the bits bar new clutch kit and new master and slave cylinders! *Disc brake conversion, have all the parts may just need new pads and some rubber hoses also have matching brake master cyl *Install spare R30 struts as my front discs are also poozed!' *MAX SLAM! I've had this for about a year and half and I think it's time for some looooow. Will use the R30 struts for slammage as to retain factory spec orgi's *Some sweet oldschool 14's would be lovely too *Still debating on what to do with the engine, wanting to keep it L series but which direction?? Already doing a turbo build so thinking either supercharged, ITB's, triples or twin su's *Headers and exahust but will need to work out what I'm doing engine wise first The windscreen is priority at the moment hopefully can find a replacement C31 screen

Sweet will do that now! Edit: Done!

Do I just fill out two forms for a plus 1?

Hellz Yeah! Currently brewing cider at home at the moment if it's drinkable/boozey as fuck I'll bring heaps!

Wednesday is my gym night so won't be able to make it

Think mine does both 12v and 6v.

Haha very funny, although when I told her there was going to be a spit roast she did ask who was going to be on it,.....

May have convinced the gf to come along after telling her all about nats. Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Either way I'll still be drunk!

Cheers bro, will let you know if I require a ride.

Hahahahaha I'm pretty sure my mate I'm staying with is In Aro Valley, but I'll double check.

You are a legend Shaz, yeah arriving on thursday.

That will be choice Shaz! My flight gets in just after 5, some GC able to pick me up?

You have no idea how upset I was when Bart told me you weren't coming to nats, but big man hugs for sure when I'm up!

Yo yo northerners, I'll be gracing your shores on thursday the 20th and I'm keen to catch up with all you lovely people. I was telling a few of the guys at nats and have noticed your monthly meet is on this date so lets hang!
