    Who? He might still be looking. Turns out I'm tied up this weekend and of no help. Also it's a stainless manifold.

    You able to remove it yourself? Or is the car drivable? I could probably fix it if you could get it over the hill to helensburgh. Although cast iron manifolds don't really like being welded.

    Got this little fellow hiding in my garden. Gets around a bit. It's for a customer, I've just been holding on to it till it's nicely weathered.

    There's quite a bit of weld on them but it's mostly out of sight. Feels a little funny sitting in it bare foot though.

    Given random pieces of steel so made a seat.

    Love this van, Firm hand shake and pat on the back for a job well done. Maybe I watch too much youtube but I'd love to see this in action.

    @Kimjon Have you tried this on any of your chinese 49cc 2smokes? Opened up the intake with a drill and scraper. Did it to the go kart yesterday but can't test it as I've run out of 2t fuel. Was in a hurry and poured the rest into the tank without the fuel line attached. Bugger.

    Chuck a fake 3 point linkage/ wheelie bar on it to keep it tame but still have a laugh.

    Can you have other people in the car for this? Took the kids (6 and 3) in the highlands taxi back in september, they loved it.

    That sucks about having to remove all the timber lining for inspection. At least they could have told you when you dropped it off. Also re the radio, have you looked into the aux in, USB, Bluetooth kits? Think they are a unit that hooks up to older head units via the aerial plug or something like that.

    One last skid video then?

    Nice car. I used to see one of these every day while on the school bus in the 90's, was all white with color matched nissan teardrop wheels. Have had a soft spot for them ever since. What are you doing with the r32 front struts? I've got a pair of effed ones to test out on my silvia, if they fit ok then I'd like some good ones.

    Made this a while back. All old school, traced a badge, marked out a grid and transfered it to the ali, then carefully drilled all the holes.

    If you could get it to dunedin I'd happily sort it for you.

    Yeah mate I've done a lot of heavy stuff in the past. I stick weld the big stuff so I know it's done properly. Don't have a current 4711 or whatever the equivalent is now but pride myself on laying down a good stick run. Where abouts are you?
  16. a.craw4d
    That would be ideal. Good think with projects is there's no real time pressure Mainly looking for something local I can bring home and work on.

    Old school meet at your place so we can play on all your sweet toys?

    Anyone in Dunedin want a hand with their projects? I posted this in spam yesterday and got some interest so thought I'd chuck it here. I want to get some more experience doing custom type fab work, ie mini trucks, hot rods or whatever. Sure I could buy something and work on that but thought why not help out a fellow os'er. I'm a fitter turner by trade, currently a stay home Dad doing odd welding and fabrication jobs that pop up. Spread the word, pm me or fire away with any questions. Cheers people

    Also this anvil stand, the black smiths leg vice locks into the anvil holes but is easily removable. Stand's mainly made from fencing standards, disc's blade, bits of harrows and an old mower blade. Sorry I do have better pictures but not on my phone. Just realized this isn't a finished picture, a bit more bracing went in as the anvil was about 90-100kg. Got good muscles building this

    I've got a customer that collects interesting pieces of old farm machinery etc then gives them to me to make something out of. The simple things are sometimes the best. A mock up of a tractor seat and stand And bolted in place and a light wet sand to bring out what's left of the ford blue paint.
  21. a.craw4d
    Cheers for that, that was the kind of deal I was after.

    As per title. I got a few sheets of plywood that I need to cut down the middle (longwise), and doing it by hand sucks balls. Text me 021895082. Can pay in manly hugs or happy to help out when you need a hand in return. Cheers. PS. A jigsaw would also be very useful if someone has one. Have to cut the ply to fit around house piles.

    Sweet trike. My parents have an even older version where the rims and tyres are one piece. Think about 4 inch rims with really big balloons moulded onto them. Rode it all the time when we were kids and noone died or even got hurt. It floated too so was fun in the creek Just googled and found out what it is. I must go save it now
  24. a.craw4d
    Video of you driving?
  25. a.craw4d
    If you've got one handy then try it but I'd run with the setup you have now. I haven't clocked mine yet but I'm guessing it might do 35-40 kph max. It's more important to talk it through with the kids so they know how to drive it and most importantly how to stop. My niece got let loose on a 125 quad with little instruction, she panicked at speed and continued straight into a fence. Luckly she was ok. Just a brused ego. Love your work, can't wait to see it in action.
