  4. 64valiant
    for example this is the gap between drivers door and roof the lovely paint job he gave it with a rattle can spot the red in this one and the bog random hole..... and i didnt drill this one this guard where the bumper broke is munched and check out how well the guards line up at the front so dont worry i didnt pay the likes of 10 grand for it. and its not the mintest one out there at all but its some where to start and something i can work on and fix how i like when i like

    4 bolts and yank would be easy if i knew that. still learning things with this. the closer and closer i look at this the rougher and rougher it is from the dude before me. i will fix it correctly dont you worry yea it was but dont worry il fix the hole. and not with a grommet. its no where near what i want as a finished product so there are a lot of things i want to do/clean up. huge list. il get there and clean it up one day. but for now its sweet and lol il cut holes if i want its the same with my wagon. il do them up for me not for someone else. might take the long way around but il get there. these are the two cars that il base mine off eventually a hole lot of work to get where i want to be. i plan on having it for a while.

    quick run down. simon snapped a bolt taking the exhuast of so had to try weld that onto a nut get it out. went like this so heat and welding a nut on the end didnt work so we ended up doing this it was our total last resort..... then tapped and made a new bolt fit..... made new exhaust fit to old one and weld that together i assembled some of it last night simon came around and we did the rest of it tonight he got some of my lights going and i put those cv boot things on. im going to kill the guy who said they were a great idea..... then we got it going and made it move took and took this photo then i cleaned it and now im here. and those seats i brought the other day dont fit this silly vw so il some how make them fit or make mine low backs out of those ones. tomorrows job is make my dohikcary thing which 10speed asked what the brackets where for and to put my signage on it. should be fun

  10. 64valiant
    hahahaha what a joke i thought i wasnt going to have to fix the vw again!!!!! so after the last ordeal i spotted more and more oil leaking. here is a photo of the car been parked for 15 mins after stopping for example so yeah thought we better fix that if i were to use it this weekend. so while stripping the hole engine pretty much simon thought fuck we may as well do the exhaust while we are here as well. one snapped stud. few cut cuts latter and yea exhuast is out with the other half of the engine to find this oil leak. well we found the problem in the oil cooler as it had snapped and the seals where harder than stone cold steve austin. my mate mitch took it to his shop to weld this tab back on while i was under the dub i spotted these not looking the best shape i cut about 10mm of that..... the rest was already split here are some shinny things sticking out of the back of my car now and i went shopping out at the vw shoppe this morning so fix the exhaust tonight and try assemble it again :/ ive also named this vw the lemon.
  11. 64valiant

  15. 64valiant
    so as you know my vw shat out again........ im so painting this lemon yellow once im done with it. so i went for a drive to Auckland to drop some vw wheels off as well as denhams car. we all meet up at zebra and i brought these for the vw so i can now do the upholstery in the vw. dont quite know what i want. after that we went to toms house and looked at his cars and then left. stopped at bombay to have some subway and the shitty vw didnt want to start. tried everything and gave up rung a mate of mine who is good with cars. he came with some tools and tow rope but yea we couldnt get any spark. We took the dizzy and all the good things to his shop (Wallace Heron ltd) in puke. they did this with it put it in there lathe and pluged it all up as if it was in a car and we had no spark still...... they had this problem with there forklift not so long ago. Turns out its the little do it rather thing. (condenser) so ran around to repco and they had one it stock. while i did that they had a look around in all there mini parts and found one and got it going for me. so i took the one i got from repco back ($40 saved/spent on beer for them) and took a look at his race car hes building, check out the rear guards/lack of them..... put it all back together rang some one to look at theres to see how the leads and what not go cause we just pulled them off with out looking. ALIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so cause of this little part below kinda chucking a spaz i had an interesting day!!!! so i have now got a mini one in my vw and he even gave it a bit of a tune for me haha legend!!! gotta love having bloody good mates! so next post should hopefully be about re trimming my vw. not about it braking down. end result, one happy passenger in a going vw.
  16. 64valiant

  19. 64valiant
    so as expected the starter motor was toast. after close to 2 hours laying under the vw starting at 9pm (it was cold) continuously googling how they came out and all that other jaz i got it out. so i asked sparkie/simon nicely if he would have a closer look at it for me he said ohh yea. so he pulled it apart done his magic he said some one had already had a go at it so he had a better go and gave the armature a sand and cleaned it. these are the old brushes slight buggered. so got some new one and got simon to do his magic again he said oh yeah that should work hopfully. in a kinda like oh yeah if it doesnt well LOL my bad voice. so finished up work and went home to bolt it all in last night around 10. turns out its heaps easier with two people casue of the long ass bolt has a nut on the back (i didnt know this at all) so yeah done it by myself still...... come midnight after a few sparks going every where from me putting the positive wire everywhere (who makes the positive wire BLACK!!!!!) i finally had it all in and chucked the key in and wabam!!!!! ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i now have a going wof and regd vw again. now to use and abuse this thing!!! oh it does need a BLOODY good tune

    whos coming tomorrow night?
  21. 64valiant
    Dam it only if I was in auckland I would be over them like a rash out of out back in hamilton. Seems my car won't start at all. I'm picking the starter motor has chucked it self in. It's all I can put it down to. Does the hole click click click when I try turn it over but we push started it the other day. I thought it was my battery but we had the valiant linked up to it earlier and still just making click click click sound when trying to turn it over. If any one has a good idea what it might be other than what I have suggested help a brother out. none of this have you checked to see if there is water in the radiator kinda stuff.
  22. 64valiant
    um just put in the back shed probably and just sell with the car when i sell that one day. unless there is a good offer and go to a good home. i do have two complete sets now. and cheers man pretty sweet spot. il be living there next month so yeah if your ever down again stop in pretty good odds il be there :/ went to nats yesterday and here is why i pulled off the gay sign on the side. oh and now the stupid bug wont start/dead flat battery. mates coming over with multi meter see what its charging at and go from there.
