Can't find where it mentions pre '74 cars but i see if you own a car of really odd make (or home made?) made after '74 the rego' is $174.
-
will get stolen in no time!
With a rotary is that really an issue? If you paint the exhaust black nobody has to know.
There is a reason i don't buy an RX(# of choice here) because i don't own a fortress..
-
That handbrake might be backwards. What is the steering box from?
-
What if the volume of water is the same, but the volume of the rad'/crankcase is shrinking? Or the hoses? Are the hoses shriveled and narrow with wide ends?

Wooden chassis, chain drive and bike wheels pic' for inspiration.

You guys miss the memo about the chassis' being made of wood?
Wood? but i have a chassis lying around made of metal, could i still use it?
dooooo you have an austin 7 grill?
i would be particularly keen on it!
i gave i to someone and it was "tree went through it" state and needed 6 inches welded on the bottom where it had rusted away.
-
Hmm... i have some austin7 parts but they would be too car like for this.
-
Looks older than '30s might be '20s, looks like total loss oiling. i think '30s was more like modern bike engines.
-
I'll be there for a change, trying to get my mate to come and bring his RX4... I did tell him y'all would probably make fun of his wheels though so he might have chickened out
How bad could they be?
-
How would a full copper exhaust sound on a rotary? i am guessing it would be soft enough to absorb tinniness and the resonance is said to be good according to some hotrodder i heard talking.
-
Any reason they wouldn't let you in?
Because freakspec'
They even got the fire service to chase me away.
-
Did you have fun at the tavern? They would not let me in.
-
Just send rx4 to me. I'll take care of it.
Or me, but i have like 12 cars to finish first.
-
May i come?
-
i want the jail bar, but i have an engine for one.
-
Haha electric brakes all round. .... no thanks.
Glad its sorted amber!
Good thing my car has cable brakes. This stuff never happens. (downside, manual adjustment.)
-
"roller" huh.. what IS THAT?
Dodge viper with rolls royce front?
-
Opps wrong kind of oldschool.
-
Dirt in master cylinder valve? i forgot th roadside fix though.
-
That is sad.. But there is hope. i don't want to sound like a jerk but in the really really old car world there is a saying of "It casts a shadow you can rebuild it".
-
Should i go? i don't think i should, waste of gas and i can see grumpy men in camaros anywhere. Rumor is there might be female car enthusiasts there but they don't like me either so.. Go? or no?

oh yeh I thought they'd be faster. I been up to 110kph in rot808s 850 Mini
They are faster when they run right but, you know, they wear out over time.
Ok maybe i will work on other shit cars of my own to try & sell.
-
Judging by his track record in the fab thread, by 'mend a few things' and 'put it on the road' id say it will be fixed with duct tape, pringles, birdshit welding and a crude stud conversion and WOFd by his uncles dodgy mate for a box of Waikato river water in a can.
so, no dont do it.
Hell no that is what my boss would do i would never do that.

What kind of car is it?
