64valiant

speaking of supercharged rotarys. i have something along the lines of this getting built in my work shop atm







 

this supprts a half cage and lives in hamilton owned buy a guy steven and has a couple other rotarys stashed next to it. very clean 323

wahoooo!!!!

this happened today!



also thought id better do more things on the engine so i can have it up and running for os drag day. 

so dropped more parts off for engine to be more assembled.

planning on doing it end of September beginning of October so watch this space. 

wicked!!! must be good to have it complete again!!! such a nice baffled sump as well. my slant one looks ugly as! 

Every one got there old/modern oldschoool rides going for this Wednesday meet??

so i chucked the valiant up on the hoist..... couldnt find a leak or i didnt look hard enough (probably didnt look hard enough)

while it was on the hoist i invited UTERUS over to use his massive amount of skills to stomp on the brake peddle so i could bleed them and since then everything is all tickety boo.

well seems to be as of yet took it for a bit of a drive to my weekend job and had mates use it for a music video and its still all in one peace and still stops.

i also managed to get this photo of it while my mates were doing there camera magic making a video 



pretty happy with how its looking atm.

Yup is staying as it is. Getting a new floor and the likes of the bottom of the doors but will stay in the state it is. All the winches will be rebuilt and be used. Sign writing will be changed to suit an event next year in February.

me and mini man will both have old school cars this month. be good to see others out

so yeah havnt touched the sedan in probaly 3 months now.....

thought id better have a look the my brake problem and see why i was losing my brake peddle. as i drove it out of the garage while moving the other valiant around went to put my brake peddle down and yeah..... pretty much straight to the floor.

so bummed around and thought ohhh wonder if it has any fluid and how that looks

turns out it looks a bit like this 



not the site i wanted to see.

il put it up on the hoist tomorrow or Thursday at my shop and see what i can find/see.

just about to pull the front brake hoses off to go get some new ones made. 

shull wait and see.... 

Haha would have done the same ^^

Some one buy Evans rx7 and do it up on oldschoool just so he can see how epic it is once complete and so he can dick punch himself for selling it.

so yea got motivated over the last week and a bit and got some work done on my wagon.

after looking closer at the engine the frost plugs where looking a bit on the sad side so smashed them out and replaced them today.

here are some pictures  

this is the back one 



middle one



and the front one wasnt far from buggered as well



after pulling them out and putting my finger in the moist hole........

i came across these goods floating around in side 



so i gave the engine a good flush out and hopefully i got rid of most of the crap that was floating around the engine.

and now the new frost plugs are in.



think i need to put some grease on them, they are to clean.

also sent a snap chat to some of my mates for a joke, looked like this (sorry older people who dont know what a snap chat is)



found out a guy in nelson slapped a snail on his so il have to ask some more questions about it

other than that now time to start steeling parts of my green sedan and order all my brake parts
 

^^^^ this I will take away for free. Might even pay scrap metal value for it. Find the address and il go knock on there door. Sure my mum would be happy with me owning a 4th ap5.

random question, the driveway your car's in at whangamata ... is it Martyn road?  Just looks like it

sorry dude not martyn road. think it was linton cres. :/ 

so today i did a bit of re arranging in my garage and thought id do some work on this wagon try get the ball rolling.

the goal is to have it on the road by Christmas.  

christmas this year that is!!!!

so 1st things 1st there was this ugly looking frost plug rotting away.



this is the lovely looking frost plug 



so smashed that out to find we couldnt get the measuring tool (cant spell what they are called) in there so went and smacked one out of a engine i have out the back.

getting a mate to sus 3 of them out for me.

then decided to go have a look at the goods i had brought with my 3rd valiant and see what i can use on this beautiful wagon.

IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS!!!!! had all these things nicely wrapped up like a pot luck or something didnt know what was going to be in there. but we did find all this.



so some things i have to paint but the most of things i wanted for the wagon are painted already

so a few extra things i will need to make my car stop and look good.

will start the shopping list on hemiperformance this week see what things are going to cost in aus and compare them to nz.

also will need to steel some things of my green sedan which isnt a big issue as its getting the new engine.

so intake manifold, carburetor and the exhaust will get pinched of that so it will run as i know those parts already work on the sedan.

also this is my garage situation now 



think thats it for now.

so yea nothing much been happening drove my valiant once or twice since the road trip.

been busy working doing upholstery like always. finally finished my mates 38 ford coupe and he is going to build my engine for me.

so today i went for a drive with a boat anchor in my boot of my c rolla



so now i need to find all the extra peaces laying around my garage to complete the engine.

also the green sedan will be losing parts to the wagon so i can try get that on the road

feeling excited about the new engine getting closer!!!!

wow we are both screwed in the head. corolla wagons and valiant wagons!!!!! message me if you need a hand assembling it. actually come work on mine so it gives you motivation to work on yours. great plan i think

also i do think this guy needs to make a thread. ( if he has can some one tell me )

Valiant Wagons for the win!

 

Whats the colour called? I like it

 

 

 

I should start a build thread

Geez your slow mrwest. Next time your over il take you out have a rum with him have a closer look at it.

ether a valiant 500 or yup a plymouth.

i have only seen one valiant before and its a race car races in the pre 65 but mate has the plymouth version.

here is the one ive seen



 

Saw this Valiant convertible thing today, which the internet tells me might actually be a Plymouth 

 

 

sick of this driving past work giving it some gas (lake road frankton hamilton) sounds amazing!!!!

also who owns it?! some one must know

spotted this 38 ford coupe running a triple carbed small block chev on my trailer going to my shop to get a full re trim  



 

OOOOOOOOOO that ap6 safari is good from what i can see glad to see more around! any closer pics or yarns exchanged with the owner?!

edit: did he have valiant parts for sale / was it for sale?

Quick or I will update it with my purchase of parts for your car.
