oldschool january 2013 welly meet

I love this car. The wheels, the visor, everything is on the money. Good job. BTW I am not a ford man.

This bike is so fkn cool that my brain just sploded everywhere.

Make bash plate and floor it. Problem solved.

Sounds like a blown head gasket to me too.

^^^^ Cool Wagon ^^^^ The other pics arn't bad either.

If you want to come all the way to Plimmerton during work hours i can help you out. I am at Plimmerton Auto Services.

The weather forcast doesn't look to flash for tomorrow.

Mean comy. What did you use to make the front lip?

There was a rule if you went to USA for 3 months and owned a car while you were there you could bring it to NZ and not convert it. Then once it was in your ownership for 5 years in NZ you could sell it and not convert it. I'm not sure if this law still applies since the special interest vehicle thing came in.

What he said. Left hand drive is no problem.

Is it an electronic or mechanical dizzy?

Body drop

We packed up the wagon for xmas holidays. It was pretty choka. Chucked 75 litres of petrol in and Headed to foxton Beach. The round trip, which was basically Porirua to Palmy and back with a couple of other missions around, only used about $80 petrol. Not bad for a 5.7 L motor pushing a couple of tons around. All the gear in the back dropped the ass another couple of inches. Had to leave some room for the dog.

Awesome looking car (for a ford). Love that steering wheel.

Try ripco. IIRC I saw them advertised a while back. or maybe it was BNT??

The tailgate lock has always been loose and would fall out when the tailgate was lowered. It is supposed to switch the electric rear window but wasn't plugged into anything. I found the wiring and switch inside the tailgate as well as the lock retaining clip. After cleaning the switch contacts and glueing the switch back onto the lock it was all reassembled. It even works! There is a little rust along the bottom of the tailgate so I gave that a tickle with some rust converter to try to slow it down a tad.

All the cool kids post pics of their WOF stickers...

if your lights work and your wheel bearing are sweet.

As I am a WOF inspector all this talk of slammed trailers got me looking into the rules, so I rang NZTA and was told; There is no requirement for a trailer to have suspension. There is no minimum height for a trailer. Now I wan one damn it.

I once heard a story of a fulla that wired his amp to the fuel pump power feed. Doof doof goes up and car goes slow. lol

REAR SEAT BELTS. The rear seats have factory waist seat belts. That's fine for miss 1 year old's baby seat but mr 4 year old uses a booster seat and would probably snap in half in a crash with a 2 point seat belt. I plan to get some 3 point belts from usa that will match the gm ones but ran out of time for xmas holidays cruising the buick. I found the wagon has factory shoulder belt mounts but uses 2 small bolts. The plan is to put the larger single bolt in between the original nuts. I had to file the hole slightly larger. Welded a belt nut to a small plate and some welding wire to position the nut. Put a small screw through in to the plate so the nut wont drop when I remove the belt. Now the bit that made me nervous. Drilling a hole in a 40 year old interior panel. Discovered 2 circles on the bake of the panel that match the original mounts, so just drilled a hole in the middle of the circles. All together. I did both sides so when little miss is ready for a booster seat all I have to do is drill a hole in the left hand panel and bolt th belt in. The 'modern' belt tucks away when not in use so is nice and low key. DISCUSSION: http://oldschool.co....__hl__alltorque
