We wanted to do the scenic route but it'll just make it an even longer day. Would rather do the catlins when we have more time up our sleeves for serenity stops etc.

only 1/2 to 3/4 hour difference, and saves smoking out SH1 with madza and mishitbus oil fumes !!

They aren't updating stock on the Bunnings website from what I can tell. Give them a call and ask, I got some argon from my local the other day and the one on the other side of town had mig gas.

only gonna get worse without having a functioning refinery here.
unsure about argon, but NZ's  CO2 supply came form there, but medical and industrial

Hilux on the other hand is a piece of shit when you get near the empty line on the guage.

VN commodore would stall the pump at 1/3 tan round a bad corner. had to remove fuel line from inlet and give it a shot of air at 120psi to get it spinning again

What does a top switch/high gear switch do on a manual gearbox. 

Obs. it's activated when it's in top gear. Tell the ecu to change something like lean burn or timing? 

winds up the volume on the Wuhan War Whistle on trubro cars !!

I'm keen, struggling to get any of our cars going atm all have issues. But surely have one ready for a meet

is that because you own more than Tom and i put together ?

maybe floating between Timmas and Catlins over next few months, depends on income prospects

Swaps for a b4 legacy and a ps4? 

ya forgot to add in the the 'badly bred pitty and near empty point baggie' ...... that is the deal breaker, especially when PS4 and Subaru mention as an enticer !!

It will cool down too fast I think. I'm not staying up all night to keep it going.

I suppose if I can make a system to automatically light it.... using an arduino and a temperature sensor and one of those piezo lighter

I do have an old pot belly, but it's super fucked, the door fell off and the chimney hole broke and it's kinda too small I think. But then.... I could make a steel spacer sleeve to make it much taller. And it would look like a okay garden feature.

drip fed oil burner.

Holden/Isuzu 2wd Ute's might be an available source for a gearbox here in nz. 

I could be wrong though. Worth effort if it can go in easy and not a dog to get parts for.

from my research. many of the Isuzus had the worldclass T5, which holds together better then the one found in Falcons and Commodes

I'm gonna need a picture.

run joists 90 degrees so they do not tie into longest span. 
don't ask drawings..... i can barely write legibly

someone will adjust this for current, if it isn't, but
make the 'clearspan' between fixings 3.55m ?, use 190 X45 SG8 at 400mm CRS, connected to 2X 245 X 45 at 2.8m long

Does anybody know if changing from a fleetside normal ute deck to a flatdeck tipping bed need to be run through LVV? 

 

@cletus and if already certified as a flat -deck, does it need re-cert for making it tipping, if no welding to subframe was required ?

used my wee vintage lathe for the second time since @ajg193 rebuilt the bushings............. got to 6 of the 8 caphead nutserts cleaned up when all the smoke fell out of the motor......... pooooooze.

Just jacked it up, chucked in first and spun it over in gear no ignition.

normal. Same in reverse.

 

so the issue is only when it’s running and letting the clutch out

whip the box out and check the clutch.
sounds more and more like the spigot bearing issue i had
