Dirty_Safari's '64 Buick LeSabre
Dirty_Safari replied to Dirty_Safari's topic in Projects and Build Ups
Had a blast in this so far, travelled many miles. Huntly Burnouts, WRCC Spring fling, Rocket open day, Tokoroa drags. Heading to Rebel Roundup this weekend Accuair is the business, Highly recommend. Get into it. I like the stock hubcaps but wanted options. A mate of mine had some Detroit's on an earlier Buick Super, but he didn't like them. So I chucked them on to see if they would suit. I think they look pretty cool, so deal was struck.- 4 replies

Cool thread, sweet car man. Love the '61 styling. Kudos

Thanks man. Bolt in kit, was labeled for an impala wagon. I'm too busy with work so getting installed by simon @airride nz. Happy with results so far.

I'm well stoked with how low it sits, needs wider rims. 15*8's please.

Exhaust out, Airride in, height sensors still to be installed. Remote shock mounts for front suspension also needs doing. Tank and pumps under False floor in boot.- 4 replies

Matt's 1970 VG Valiant Safari
Dirty_Safari replied to Dirty_Safari's topic in Projects and Build Ups
So I finally got some more wheels. 14x7 Globes for the front & 14x8 steelies on the rear look good. 205/70 whitewalls all round. Don't see many blacked out Globes and their not to everyone's taste, but I like 'em.- 2 replies

Left Wellys this morning. Sweet trip home, no problems. Exhaust cackles a bit in a small rev range, not cool, need to remedy that. One brake/indicator light is dim so it may have an earth fault? Engine bay needs a de-grease & water blast. -

I've just picked up this boat from Blenheim. Currently waiting in Picton for the ferry. Goes good so far, for the 20 minutes I've driven it... 300ci small block buick Plan is to throw an Accuair system in it for Max levels of Aceness.

Excuse my misunderstandings, but would installing drop spindles circumvent the need to dick with the geometry of everything?

Matt's 1970 Valiant Regal Safari Discussion
Dirty_Safari replied to Dirty_Safari's topic in Project Discussion
Hey Greg, Yeah mate, picked it up in a very hungover state on sunday. after Foo Fighters gig Saturday night i was going to come see you, but yea sick n yuck thanks for the heads up with marshalls, the old boy was busy so had to go with marshalls in the end. what a fuck around, rang them every day for update, got the "yep sweet we on to it" from Nick. Payed up on Thursday. sent my mate in for pickup Friday afternoon & no work had been completed. he did the old "Fuck you! I'm not leaving without this box. do it NOW" stood over the bloke while he rebuilt it on the spot. what a fucking joke. But it is in now and it is sweet, no leaks and smooth as. got a result but man o man what a cluster fuck
