My Daughter spotted the sticker on this in Palmerston North.

I have painted a couple of cars with Dulon Lacquer, a '57 Ford Fairlane, yellow bottom, white top and '56 F100, blue, both bare metal. I spent over $2000.00 on materials for the Fairlane and getting close to that again on the F100. Given that I am not a painter and don't know the tricks etc, I also can't fathom a bare metal respray by a professional painter that does it everyday to cost over $10.000.00 for a straight forward colour.

Have a look on the Nice Products catalogue. They have a pretty good range and pics of most of the nozzles to see how they hold on.

What is a body worth ?

You didn't manage to shear that golliwog while you were in town then ?

I hope they successfully extracted all the Lucas.

Does Lucas really need any outside help for extraction ?

I understood that nothing was to be sold until Gavin (Dick,s son) came over from Aussie in October ? Has this changed ? I talked with Geoff re this only a month ago.

Sadly, we bought it from a deceased estate.  We are not entirely sure who built it, but would not be surprised if the chap who last owned it did.  We had the pleasure of meeting him late last year, but sadly him and his wife passed away within a week of each other at the beginning of this year   We had been told by an old friend of his that he would take it to A&P shows etc and drive it around, but we do not know the specific reason he built it.

It is extremely unusual!  And being what we guess you could call 4WD is just legendary   Our plan is to most likely strip it, blast it, repair anything that may need attention, paint it, reassemble it, and use it weekly on our little block.  Oh so much to do before December!

Dick was a neat old guy wasn't he ? We did a bit of mower/rotary hoe swapping.

Justin is a member on here - barracuda I think.

 

Maybe he has some sexy outtakes?

Bloody hell there are some dodgy bastards on here. Can't see him in a G string draped across the back wheel though ? or did you mean KK in nipple tassles and a Boa ?

What are the inside dimensions on the actual cabin UJ ? It looks roughly the same width as our Gas Station @ 1800 mm but we are only 2940 mm long.

Looks good.

And, how about some of the spelling ???

Always on the go at swapmeets looking for more shit to not find a home for when I get back.

You know, I have sold Tridon stuff for 12 years and we haven't had a crook one yet. There is talk of them being shit so I guess we have been lucky ?

All seems good. A successful trip to swapmeat and now Taihape on Sunday. Temp gets to halfway up the Vinegar Hill and big long Mangaweka climb. Thanks for all the advice people.

Yep, 1/4" plug in. Looks like an RK-81A Sony piece. I paid $1800-00 with a pair of 150 W technics speakers back in 1984. It is a grouse little stereo.

Thanks guys. I rustled out the instructions this morning and see now there is another cord to plug in to the CD/AUX socket on the front. Gotta find the right one now ?

It came with a twin wire cord that I have plugged in to the Phono jack. Maybe I need another cord to plug in to the CD/AUX socket in the front of the unit ?

Who is the stereo whizz on here ? Back in 1984 I bought a Sony FH-7MKII home stereo. I couldn't afford the CD player at the time and I recently bought one off ebay. It is the correct model (CDP-7F) to go with my unit. The seller said it worked fine for him. I can't get it to go any less than full volume, zero to hero with some crackling. It has the switch on the back for 110-120 volts vs 220-240 volts, I have it on 220-240. Could the switch be not converting it to our rating or maybe something else crook. The stereo works fine on tuner/cassette and turntable volume wise so I have ruled out the stereo itself at fault. Any ideas ?? Thanks. Gary.

Wrong 32?

Ah ! Was wondering about the 4 stub bit ?

A guy at work has a 32 coupe. It's a manual gts. Factory 4 stub alloys, and standard ride height. Paint is a bit shabby. And it has a couple of small primer patches on it. The fact that the ridea height and wheels are stock (and it being a manual) make it really stand out to me.  Part of me really wants it because it hasn't been butchered yet. 

Of course the first thing I would do is butcher it with 17s, slam, and a 30det.  Which is why this car sticks out to me so much.

And pissed through for a W.O.F today. Better buy some shit to go in the back of it now.

Right. Radiator rodgered, new waterpump, new thermostat, new radiator cap, new viscous fan hub, new headgasket on. Been for a drive and all seems good. Temp gauge at half mast after 1/2 hour drive. Have a bolt left over though ?? looks like a seat mount bolt to me but ???????????

Always good to be reminded when you don't do this stuff everyday though. Us old farts forget a lot you know.

Chur. I'll bung it back together on the weekend and see how it goes. Bolt holes are all good and yep washers under the headbolts, ky gel all round.
