i hope you saved this lol

What i have picked up from this is cert system is shit because you cant cert a car with wide rims sticking out the guards with tiny tyres and big camber so you are pretty much driving on the sidewall.

camber rule probably came in because of idiots as well, I used to see cars getting around with huge camber they were forever swapping tyres over because they were wearing the edges out in a matter of weeks.

I could be keen to meet up with people at some stage probably wont be going to racing but will see whats happening that weekend.

I'm acknowledging this thread but committing to nothing at this point in time. As usual.

Dane will have his pontiac done by then and can taxi everyone around haha

A commer van to left of sheep

pretty embarrassed of my photo taking skills lol

Crap photo but seen this today

The old man went into ripco one day and asked for a part for a 1965 impala the person on the counter said is that a valiant or falcon lol.

Must be powered by rotary as well

Oh nice, but when are you going to fix it up and paint it.Fuck off.........!

Argh every time i drive that wagon i posted above i get that as well. I get when are you going to paint it, it would look good in red dude its taken 49 years to get it to look like this lol

We have taken the 66 impala wagon to queenstown lapping a few times, just rolling round qtown with tailgate window down music cranked the looks you get is hilarious half the people give you the thumbs up and big smiles and the other half just glare at you and give you a discusted look.

Had people saying one night why are you just driving round, um we are in a impala why the fuck wouldnt you be driving round lol.

also pulled up outside pub in alexandra one night this old guy stumbles out and starts looking over the car and says right how much is it worth i was like i dont know 25k. He was like ill give you 30k for it thought he was all shit but the next day i looked the guy up and he has does know his shit and is pretty wealthy lol.

Could buy your old wagon back https://touch.trademe.co.nz/motors/listing/view/898254720

We got married in april and it was hard enough finding drivers for these lol

Its a shame we live so far apart i coulda brought wagon over for it lol

Good shit on getting married what you using for wedding cars?

This rambler drove past work today was pretty cool wide steelies and sounded mean as well. Wondering if this is the same one that used to be primer red.

Saw these on flicker not big pics but thought i new the car

I text my friend and hes not keen to sell man sorry to waste your time haha

Means blown head gasket ill give him a text see if hes doing anything with it

What you want it for my mate has a couple in dunedin he has a shell and a complete one think its got a bhg at the moment he might be keen to sell?

just another point as well the sooner you start buying tools the better. If you think ill get that later you end up looking back wishing you had brought all this stuff ages ago.

This was made because you couldnt get get a proper sparkplug socket in between extractors. Its a bit twistednow but does the job

My socket wasnt long enough to fit over the thread of my cv when trying to get the nut off so we cut it and welded a bit of pipe over it. I know you can get tube sockets but i thought a 32mm tube socket would be pretty pricy so made this. Painted matty black for max rust protection.

That looks a million times better than mine. What sort of $ for purchase?

will pm you dude

Sorry for the shit photos the vinyl is a bit sun faded and them marks on it are just from something sitting on it so would come out after sitting for a while. Would be perfect for getting recovered.

The more air you put in the more it raises the back so you get a bit more travel so less chance hitting the bump stops meaning much nicer ride. Since your going so low i wouldnt worry about two lines since the car wont be able to roll far anyway.

Adding air wont make the shocks firmer they just give you the ability to raise the back a bit

so simple fact is replace the shocks?

i just put air shocks in the old mans wagon to help it out a bit when you have a full car load. Since its close to bump stops they make it a lot less bumpy when you pump them right up.

I personally would keep them if they are still good. Yes there is a lot better handling shocks out there that will out perform the air shocks any day but really it depends what you want out of the car if its just a cruising car i would just keep them.

Anyone know what the deal is with air shocks? does it make it easier or harder to lower? keep or replace?

air shocks are just there for if you have a big load and the back squats down so you can pump them up to get the back level again. If your car has lots of suspension travel they should have individule air lines or else when you go round a corner all the air will go to one side not what you want for decent handling.
