Don't ask us Alex.. we may be discussing forever... what date suits you? .... ok then that's the date. I can start going on about how I prefer weekends bla bla bla but as you said we can organize that stuff later. -

^^^ I concur with all of the above! ^^^ I think keep the date the same and discuss locations. I guess even a day trip to the lakes sometime, shower in insect repellant, crank up the bbq etc edit: I also think that while an OS steed is encouraged, it is not mandatory.... but they must travel at the back of the pack sucking in all the burnt fossil fuels. -

YO Eddy!!.... Get in here and make some calls! I think we have enough followers -
Hello and welcome Nelsonians. We have a regular monthly meet up - usually nearer the end of the month. We will most likely meet up at the WOW museum carpark and go on to somewhere from there. But this may well change depending on many things. With this in mind please go to last page for latest info on this months meet.

Sadly this is not the case anymore. Still a not bad pie... just not as good as they used to be. Highly recommend the sausage rolls though

Work got given an xcel arc helmet to trial... It worked ok.. it just had a major design fault. Whenever you lifted the mask it would take a lovely little bite out of the top of everyones ears. It ended up having a nasty industrial accident with the spud gun.

I could tell the old man wanted his shed back so i got my shit togeather, slapped the bonnet on, piled the hilux up with its own crap/tools/whoknowswhat, Fired her up and roared around to my place. Getting there, getting there. Heres some pics after washing off all the bog dust. -
Why does my ph post twice??? Stupid smart ph.

So iv fitted and wired up a set of daytime running lamps to the hilux. I brought this set because they also have an indicator strip built in (hilux had none) They work fine and switch off when the headlights are on. Problem is that when the headlights are off and I indicate the DRL alternates between white and yellow. Is this legal? I guess if it's not, I can wire up the headlight on wire into the ignition switched 12v+. Then I won't have DRL just indicators

What methods did you use to attempt to get it out?

English engine love... Degreased and painted engine in flat black stove paint because its a pot bellied pig of a thing Replaced valve stem seals, and reset tappets (googling was required) Blasted and painted rocker covers and proceeded to slip that black english donk in. To be honest the hole was quite tight, there was sweat, spit and blood involved but once that transfer case was in there was no stopping her from making that noise... the noise of an engine finding its mounting bolts and hitting home. -

OK so more progress Finished painting cab Tinted top of windscreen, got new rubber and smacked it in using the string trick and a rubber mallet. Painted inner cab black finished prep/paint on RH guard, removed alloy flares for powdercoating prepped/painted doors, spun up some new door hinge pins degreased prepped and painted engine bay Grrr kinda getting over this but slowly getting there step by step. On a good note better phone means better pics! -

Thanks. Yes I was thinking of keeping the 4 speed for now. Iv been told that the transfer case has longer ratio gears in it but I'm not sure about that. Iv driven it about 4G ms at a top speed of 6th so will see how I go. It's also has the smallest engine out of my 3 cars so I'm not worried about fuel lol
