  3. Things have happened! In a strange turn of events I have ended up with the Austin back in my possession and seen as I've been on holiday for the last week and abit I've decided to put some.work into it. So for I have no photos but the engine needs attention and need to get things sorted for wof and excitingly there is a new colour scheme!
  4. No real update but the most important piece as been added
  5. Shot guys. Yeah I'm not sure how much the +DE conversion would be but I have a mate that said the +T for a 30e can be done for under $1200 so hopefully it'll pay off.
  6. Cheers for the positivity everyone. Zututu is definitely the plan. I've been told by multiple people that putting a 25de head on turns it into a 30de so I might look into that, but for now I just want boost! And I'm looking into the widened steelies but not sure who does them in BOP and also don't know if they need to get certified or not? Anyone know?

  8. Righyo long time no post. Ended up swapping the vk wagon for this 1988 vl. Had it for about 3 weeks now and loving it even more than the last commy. It's the RB30e manual but it's running a little ruff as it's coughing at low revs then picks up and runs normal after around 1.5k revs. Its had a respray at some point but it's pretty ruff in places. Plans just to clean it up abit and make it run mint before slapping a turbo on it. I've brought some 15" steerlies that I gotta get tyres for and then obviously sack it lower
  9. for sale, help a brother out - buy a wagon and become one of the cool kids. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49087-fs-85-holden-vk-berlina-wagon-bop-3000/
  10. Accomplishing in 3weeks what the previous owner couldn't do in 2yrs.
  11. fuck thats good to hear then, i ll just take in on friday as is and see what they, probly give me a new list of things to do. if only i had $1500 to spend on rims thay would look sick on it too with the gold rims and light blue car
  12. Almost ready for wof. Just need to fix reverse lights. I think it has something to do with the switch at the selector because the bulbsand fuses are are all good and the muilty meter didn't show any power at the switch when in reverse. Any suggestions >//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/48720-austin-owner-86-holden-vk-wagon-discussion/<
  13. The look like a square with a circle in the middle.. I'll get a photo tomorrow it's and odd shape That's odd about the reverse lights the guy doing our test must just be anal or something.
  14. I brought I new one so I could just beat on the top of the bold with no fear of damage. And it still won't move. Jumped on the crowbar to try force it down but that didnt work either. It hasn't moved at all. Might pay to mention that I'm doing all this with the wheel still on because the rims have lock nuts that the previous owner lost the key too -.- so I haven't been able to get a solid swing on it yet. Also found out I do need reverse lights as my mum's car failed wof on them yesterday. So that's settles that. And I've decided I'm just gonna leave the paint for now and if I can be bothered I'll paint it the original bluish colour.
  15. Does anyone have any tips for getting the outa tie rod end off. I need it off in order to change the rubber boot but it's been stubborn as fuck.
  16. Sweeet! Thank you. Can I change my build thread and discussion titles as well?
  17. And does anyone have any tips for getting the outa tie rod end off ? Everything I've seen just says hit it. But mine is Being stubborn as fuck. And I can't change the rubber boot without it off
  18. Dam. Um Idk just putty greenie, was my old rugby nik name.
  19. Just LX would be good man if it can be changed. And I thought I had to do the reverse lights coz it was on the last wof sheet it went in for . Wait so if no primer then what? Througt on colour?
