Wheels got the black zinc

Don't blame me. I didn't do it! But it did make me a good chunk of money

My last Essex v6 in a RN46 hilux would randomly overheat and dump all its water. Top it up and it's fine for 3 weeksish... only to randomly dump it again. I fixed this by selling the truck

This sounds awesome! You better order some more explosive cannonballs.

Oh and the bus will need strengthening to support the turret.

That moment when you know you're talking to exactly the right guy about a certain subject.

Ltd's reverse lights have never ever worked and it's never failed a wof for it.

I once looked into getting them going but when the complete rear of your car is a brake light I've never had a problem with people not seeing me or lack of vision at night.

Never thought the daily would be requested for a photoshoot!

Found his thread

Next time I'm under there I'll have a look and confirm the gearbox.

Cheers for the heads up, I'll send him a message.

There is a metric fuckton of info out there on the line but someone that talks kiwi could help.

Cheers

What you see in the pic is what I got. I don't have the front or rear lights, but there is interior/dash parts if you need any of that

How about another run to the private museum in Takaka? That place is fucking epic!!

What's the plan for our next meet bitches? Owen river Tavern?

Haha usual story!

I don't mind modding my shifter, and was probably going to cut the sump down and give it wings anyway. The sump is fairly low as it is so I will feel better with more clearance.

To be fair this car started life as a auto and I have no idea what getrag I have in there.

I found this info bomb too.

Seems to be a great source of information that covers all the bases.

Last weekend I got this up to my place, many thanks to 1500-gt.

Time to get the required parts together.

What a great read Neal! Fuck I want to do this one year!

How to tell that Dylan has been welding.

Anyone that welds daily will feel my pain.

I threatened to take mag and turbo nelson to court years ago. He ended up paying me out the full cost of the mags and tyres that I brought off him. Never been back

White Lightning (1973) garage scene just after punching Dude in the gut,, car is even the same color

Datsun 411

I also have a light blue and white LTD like in the movie but it hasn't ran in like 15 years ,, so it doesn't count any more than the 48 others in the back.

You have a 71/72 LTD???

I MUST know more! Condition? Will you strip parts off them? Do they happen to be a 4 door hardtop with a mint windscreen?

It's based on a M20b25 but alpina change everything. Compression, camshafts, ported and polished, ecu etc etc etc. It really showed too!

It was a quiet meet but still enjoyable as always.

Belgrove Tavern's outside area is really quite surprising and cool. The wedges were delicious and well priced but they do need to up their coffee game.

Thepog took me for a quick fang in his father's XKR which went well, felt great on the road and sounded amazing!

But I do wonder how many engineers/hours it took to get that note just right.

Not oldschool but tolerated because supercharger

I actually missed Alex's post that he wasn't coming and we waited around in case any other Motueka people arrived.

Then the e30 Alpina (one of 2 in the country), the lancer and the shitty e30 took off for a lovely cruise through the countryside.

This quickly turned into e30 vs e30 countryside hooning,which was just awesome. Although the Alpina was winning the whole time...

Pics!

Chur!

Nah. It's still just 2.5 sohc. Need dem twin cams!

A rather rare e30 Alpina has confirmed attendance. It will show just how shitty mine is

How IMPracticle.
