I was motoring in The pogs Super Snipe. Totally missed you! To be honest I didn't think that they would be open and busy. Sorry about that and will hopefully see you at the next meet. -

We must have just missed each other. I chilled there for about 10 minutes before heading out to the rally -

Yes the xm 180 pro. It's exactly the same as yours isn't it? Such a fine machine really, just doesn't seem to like it when lead seeps out of the part I'm trying to weld though -

I started cutting out the rust and replacing that shit. Now I weld all day err day but have very little experience with panel work so let me know if you see something stupid Left side if windscreen before Patch 1 Patch 2 Patch 3 And patch 4 I killed the rust before each patch went on and have finished it off with an etch primer. Just needs a touch of spray filler before I paint. I then did the same with the left rear wheel arch Before. After. Basically the same to do on the opposite side, then alot of repair needed around the boot seal part. I've also realized that I'm totally not rich enough to bag it this time round. So that will have to wait. Chur- 18 replies

what you see is really the worst of the rust. Yea I considered soda but I could get sand with ease, plus there is about 6 different layers of paint/filler to get through so I went for the reuseable option -

So Ive been doing some shit to this shit Stripped her down like a cheap hooker and laid into her. Went and brought the nastiest tarpaulins I could find and set up a sandblasting booth Had to buy a new nozzle and new garnet for works sandblasting unit but at least I'm now using good stuff. Also borrowed Reco's spare air compressor thinking it should be up to the task... it wasn't. So I trundled off in search of more air, ended up borrowing a mates petrol powered compressor thinking surely with these 2 combined... The sandblaster seems to work best at around 150 psi but even with one compressor feeding the other I could get about 40 seconds of good pressure before it went flaccid. Not cool! Ill look into hiring a big bastard trailer compressor to do the job. Anyway...some more pics Discuss //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41479-sidewaysickness-1971-ford-ltdgalaxie/ -

Thanks again everyone! Excellent roads for an excellent day! Since my car is on shed guard duty I was the car slut of the day and jumped into almost every car there. I loved the fact that out of the 8 cars we had along today, we didn't have a manufacturer double up. (I included Will's shuttle but he was kind enough to park it well away so he didn't steal the show) Pics -
Yoeddynz's 1985 Hino N0915 housetruck build.
sidewaysickness replied to yoeddynz's topic in Project Discussion
I have a trick up my sleeve in case your Hino pulls away on mine, throw open the engine cover beside me and start feeding it Nos recovered from whipped cream canisters -
I have the same kind of steel fan on the ltd. I've honestly never heard it. I have always wondered why they are a X shape rather than a + shape. Anyone know? So answer must be add more cubes until fan is no longer audible.

Our next meet we will be taking a drive following the Westbank road all the way up to the Batton bridge, crossing over onto the Motueka valley highway and following that into Tapawera. Stop in at the dirty ol Tapawera tavern for refreshments and to let the locals bathe in our awesomeness. Sunday 11th October Nelson people meet at Jacks Tyres in Richmond at 9.20am leave around 9.30. Motueka people meet at the clock tower/Repco at 10.00am and wait for us city folk to arrive. see you there! -
Yoeddynz's 1975 Datto 120Y wagon restoration.
sidewaysickness replied to maddat's topic in Project Discussion
Haha that's funny! You could always do your dream build with it too! Rotary Flares Dumpy Zorst And of course... modgies!! Oh and I can't forget the white interior and camouflage paint job -
I could weld in a panel if you find one. School mate had one of these, spent stupid money on it and did skids everywhere. Then he got the tip off that the cops were on their way to seize it... so the dick axed it pretty much in half
