@Archetype when are you tinking of heading over? @Leebo3 are you heading up to beach hop this year? @73crownwagon you had any luck with accommodation

i think it was about half way through she was like "that'll do greg" haha nope i just kept going. the one and only time im so called aloud to do a skid im going to make sure its a big one and the amount of smoke was bloody good to. came out bloody great.

@nzed there you go. burnout pics. we got the link for a few photos and i scrolled right down till i found the burnout ones haha

Is it a new page yet? Pretty cool sequence of events.

Hell yeah I'll be there. Will be in the bug and the valiant hopefully @MRWEST will be there with bells and whistles on.

And then there was two. Pulled it out if a barn about 15mins out of katikati Dont know what I'm going to do with it but the price was like 18x less cheaper than the 1st one.

5 years of some abuse of that little old diff. And I gave it some abuse when I was 17 as well haha. Silly Greg. Running a 245 60 14 on it. Those hankooks got 5 years out of them. My brothers diff didn't last long. They put a mustang one in if I remember correctly.

Yeah was going and going and going and Beth said that'll do and I kept going.... Kind of glad I did stop still had to drive back from the Mt on those tyres. But when in Rome they say.

no one had there phones out. (our request)(paid a bunch of money for someone to take good ones) the photographer got a bunch been such a long skid haha.

What a day. Perfection in one photo. Rua peeler bitches (two in Maori) Gotta thank supercheap auto brake like clamps and keegan for supplying them for me.

Ah I done some sun visors yesterday. But didn't get a chance to post them. They did look like this. And with the new headlining material they looked like ass. A lot better. Now to do this wedding thing.

More last minute wedding prep stuff. Put the stainless trim back on with out wrecking it. I had pulled this off when I painted the roof also. Just never got around to putting it back on what not. Lazy or didn't want to wreck it but done it in like 5 mins including taking photos. Shit was all twisted from been removed and I really didn't want to wreck it putting it back on that's for sure. Picture of it off and just white. Picture with it on and small dog for scale.... Now to get the sun visors done so I have some thing for the ribbon to attach to.

@63Ragtop man legit. Will make contact with them.

So a few years back you would remember me stripping the roof to fix the rust and paint it so she looks all fresh. Well while I done that I ripped the headlining out as I would put a new one in it. Few days later the windows went back in and its done two or three weddings since. No headlining and looking a tad rough.... So while on my stag do last Saturday I was a tad drunk and everyone was around so whop whop out comes the front and rear windows. @Evan was rather shocked our how easy they came out. Fast forward to today realising I had booked the car to get the windows installed tomorrow. Goes something like this. Bare roof. No underlay or sound deadening Chucked some underfelt up on the roof. Makes it less tinny and no droning noises. Chuck the headlining in after a small battle. Waved my magic wond and *Boom* headlining done.... Slightly fucked up the hole for the light location but yeah I fixed that so no need to tell more.... And this is where I am now. And now the windows get installed in 8 hours. I brought some brake lines for the front and need to get some oil and a filter give it a bit of a birthday.

man are you using this as the wedding car? or the going away car?

whats the update on this @flyingbrick hows it looking now?

FUCK me that is a great colour!!!! Did you end up finding a machine for your other half to do some upholstery with? man i cant wait to see this on the road

looks like she has Jacinda Arderns teeth....

Also a lol. We needed a hing for beths scooter late Friday night and well nothing was open so we have this scenario. Fuck yeah. Works. BRILLIANT.

So yeah I also convinced Beth to let me buy the Honda gyro x. After seeing @Raizers gyro I needed one in my life. It looked like this when I brought it. Was cool and had fun on it. Got my lean on two up. And attempted to do the east coast ride until this happened. So I left it with raizer cause he is the fucken man and he did this to it. 70cc kit hell yeah. He had a few problems with his and wasn't confident with mine and was a bit worried but I had all the trust in the world with this scooter guru. He made it do wheel stands and skids and go hard for what it is. He also gifted some plastics to make mine look proper again. Man it looks complete now. And on Saturday we done 240kms on it. About 5 mins after this I towed raizer on his scooter for a bit also. Does go great. Got some rad photos with raizer and his gyros. And today I got snapped going through my office on they way to get my pie. So good around town. Will be hooning daily.

He just does everything so good.

Found a nice video of how to jump a hilux.

@Kelvin is the man behind all this. Looks like another good year.

Also huge thanks to @Archetype for hooking a brother up with a black show plate for the scooter. Makes it look the part for sure.

So late Friday night @Raizer got this thing running with @flyingbrick while I was doing some sweet upholstery work for everyone. Started with a bit of engine start down the carb and it ran really well. And ended with me doing a skid and packing it up on the trailer. We proceed to the waikato tiki tour on Saturday morning. Things went perfectly. Until Nathan ran out if gas. So we put more gas in it and kept going. The rear break isnt working that great now so I'll probably pull that apart in the coming weeks and fix it. But other than that it done 240kms and didn't really break which is fucken great. Most definitely going to need ear plugs to ride it atm. Looking forward to riding it a bit more. May use it to get to work and back. Pretty fun bike.
