sidewaysickness

Haha thanks. I'm all about the funk

I dunno if the mighty 4-af needs it!

Yea I did read that thread and thought I had better come over and drop a fat corolla skid/check them out

Actually no I can't because our monthly meet is that day

I guess you could do that but it seems like alot of work when I think an almost undetectable repair would suffice

Alright so... I've pretty much stripped the whole thing out now. Yes there is areas that need attention but nothing that I didn't know about so she really is still a solid old whale. pics Pulled the engine and gearbox out. Wouldn't surprise me if its the first time the gearbox has seen daylight since being fitted! Good times!

Today I set about fitting the German Sunmover solar panel. The idea is that the panel is controlled by magic so its always pointing at the sun, they claim to be 3 times more efficient than a fixed panel of the same output. The filthy roof before I started (note the tv aerial shoved out the hatch, I pick up the digital with that shit lol) You can hardly notice the clean spot Being a fiberglass roof I didn't think it was up to the challenge of supporting the weight of the panel and the controller, So after giving ladaspeed a quick dutch rudder he let me cut out a 800x800 square of 3mm sheet steel. This will sit between 2 of the internal framings so the weight shouldn't be an issue now. The sheet had a bit of surface rust so I killed the rust and painted it with leftover Hilux paint Brought some spendy and strong double sided tape and used that and alot of silicon sealer to fix it to the roof Attached the mounting plate using the same method as well as 6x 12g screws that go right through the fibreglass roof, add more silicon Mounted the panel and controller So now I need to run conduit and wiring to get that bitch online

Well dayum son. If your going how could I turn it down?

Also will you be bringing some form of guitar? I've heard your voice makes angels cry

Ford has never specified exactly what it means, so there are alot of ideas on what it means. Lincoln type design, luxury trim decor, lovely to drive, limited and of course little tiny dick

Fuck yes!!! Skid time!

Did you make use of the nipples and grease that old girl up? Or you couldn't find the grease gun?

The engine and box is almost ready to come out, I really need to build a overkill engine stand before I take it out so I have somewhere to put it. A package arrived from Merica containing the LTD badges for the bonnet and 2 tail lights, problem now is that one of the lenses has a hole and a crack in it. I knew about this before purchase as I was going to use part of my current red/orange lens to repair it, the nice American lady was kind enough to throw in part of a broken centre tail light so I will use that instead. I now put it out to oldschool.... what's the best way to repair a cracked lens? Do I cut a hole as small as possible around both the hole and the crack and try my best to match the replacement piece? or cut the broken lens straight in half and glue it together with the repair piece? Any good experiences with a good clear glue? Loctite 401 good enough? ​

You watch your mouth young man!

So nelson people, how does 10am at Jacks tyres sound? Open to suggestions...

Speedy sleeves for speedy fix

Fixed. I don't think you could afford my "after hours" rate anyway

Haha I'm only your bitch because your sad enough to pay me to be your bitch. The little dress I throw in for free

Sounds good. Sam and Jane will be in here at some stage too

Excellent! Do you have a time in mind?

I guess I'll be in a convoy from Nelson. ... by myself

So I thought that it would be a good idea to start a thread for max convoy action. Who is going at what time on Friday? Who needs a seat or equipment taken down/up? Possibly meet up with the wellington convoy somewhere? I will most likely be driving Slacker_sams Lada so I have spare seats and room for stuff if need be. Im happy to leave at anytime before 12. Thoughts? Ideas? Fetishes?

Fuck I love hearing the turbo through the Zorst. Can't wait to hear it noting!

Fuck! Shed modifications required! You also forgot to add in the dirt floor part

I'm sure we can sort something. Iv reserved 10 spots at the show. More can be organized if necessary
