this just keeps getting sicker lol

Love how this forum just keeps producing more awesomeness the longer im on here. This thing is fukin epic.. So cool on so many levels!

fukn epic shit man haha

Fuck thats cool haha, agree some sort of old signage would be legit....Maybe like a oldschool workshop kinda sign would be cool

you can contact LVVTA direct and pay 50bux and they will send you a print out of the exact mods paper list for everything done to the car at the time of certing. Itl cover stuff that is not factory whether it needs a cert or not (at least mine did) . I got one for my last car as everything wasnt on the plate an i didnt have the papers.

looking mint man!

So havent done much lately, but went out to the olds the other day and realised iv got lots to do before it can go to panelbeaters. So went back tonight and have finished striping the remaining bits in the car. Pulled out glovebox, heaterbox (FULL of sandblasting sand), gauge cluster, dash trim etc. Got wiring loom, windscreen wiper and brake booster to go then the bodys ready. Also need to take glass out of doors, trim off doors, bonnet and boot and get that ready to go to panelbeaters. Have got a heap of panelwork/steel work coming via the slow boat from USA to get the rust repaired, can buy replacement panels & sections luckily relatively cheap. Have also ordered bits to rebuild my chassis, new balljoints, arm bushes, wheel bearings, brakes, shocks, springs, diff gaskets etc etc. So can tidy that up and paint it as well. More pics when I remember to take the camera out!

that 323 is fukin awesome nice work. R100 are always good to coming together nice!

Whats teh best/easiest stuff to paint a chassis with. Sandblasted and expoxied.

thatss fukn awesome good work haha

yup a mate has bought one off ebay and got it back here for about 900 i think.

yup low voltage can make the ecu have a spaz, Sounds like a head gasket tho get it tested.

//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/36599-mrwest-bmc-1300/ Was down in one of the old mans sheds the other day and found our old car sitting around. 1973 Morris 1300, Even luxury auto spec! Has been in the family since new, mum learnt to drive in it as it was her grandmothers. Has only 25,000 miles since new and in the early 2000's my olds were using it as our 2nd car so I did quite a bit of driving round the farm in it as well! Its still pretty mint, orange body is straight as, black vinyl interior still mint as. So cause i dont have already enough to do with the 64 tui and i feel its a crime for it to sit there and be unused/unloved im going to have a go at getting it back on the road and rock around in for a laugh. Will get the engine running again and then take for a wof see what it needs (grandad has been keepign on hold). If not too much ill sort it out and get on the road!! No pics yet, will take some next time at olds, thread is method of motivation to make it happen !!!

yeah thought that was the case, thanks for that. Need to find some wheels for the vin then!

any issues with wire wheels for a vin?

oh nah haha, got a place in waihi beach n vert hasnt been on the road since iv had.

say what?? haha

ill be over at the bach so will be there id say.

maaannn would of been keen for sunday as live like 10mins away but going to whiticity to do bike handling skils test so can get me bike licencse

yeah got a heap of new steel parts coming from the states, luckily everything is still made new. Rear quarters look nice from the outside but when you have a look how htey been stiched they are shit house so iv got 2 new rear quarters coming to get stitched on properly. Going to be a bit of work but at least ill know everythings new.

Nah Thames Valley Sandblasting did it in the end as they are just up the road from me. Did a good job, have used him before for work stuff.

Picked up the car today. Got to have a good look around at all the lovely repairs its had in the past. Would love to count all the pop rivets in the car there everywhere!! Holes here, holes there and more over there Angle iron and pop rivetted repairs. Some more angle iron and pop rivets, can see in top of photo the replacement rear quarter stiching with pop rivets and shitty welding! Boot area rust and some more rust! Sad state of disrepair!
