The only thing they really care about is having the airbox and filter installed, will otherwise run on zero compression and lacquer fuel

Awesome thanks man

All hail the Fa50 speed machine

Hopefully she doesn’t give us much problems starting her lol

This weekend while out garage saling, we came upon a Suzuki fa50! She definitely needs some tlc but I’m sure I’ll get there

needs a good wash and a degrease

a new key(old owners lost the key)

general check over

also needs all of the lights and covers( if anyone has the lot, that’ll be great)

i fucking love C33s. have contemplated owning one on more than one occasion. 

i understand the diesel is slightly less shit with a hairdryer on them. 

wheels, low and ultra clean.

job done. 

Haha! Yeah just a wee bit lol! 

Thats sortve the plan, just wanna go a different way to all the rest really! Unique would be good! Planning on just tidying it up and cruising it for awhile until I find more ideas really

Thanks team! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but she’s cheap to run

Iknow the c33 laurels aren’t quite oldschool yet, but I’m going with an old school look!

She’s a factory manual rd28 diesel, so heaps of potential!

look for ideas and inspiration, interior and exterior 

Cheers mate!

I’ll give that a go and see what happens! Cheers!

Hey guys, retro here! So me and the old man went for a drive today in his mk1 cortina and the heaters stuck on full tit!!! Any suggestions on what’s wrong? Or how to fix it? It gets bloody hot inside

Sadly had to sell up! Went to a good home and got running! Should never had sold this wee gem

Hey guys, been abit slack lately! Heres a photo from today, up in Lumsden outside the Route 6 cafe(definitely a look)

Im going to replace the starter on saturday and see if the old girl starts or not!

well that didnt work out at all, anything else beaver?

cheers beaver

heey guys, im trying to get the hunter going but just isnt working for me since im not that exprienced with the engine side of things!

so i was just wondering if yous could help me, there is no spark, battery is charged and its not turning over!

there is just a clicking sound when turning the key...

whats wrong?

Yeah i thought that, cheers anyway mate

So i have these two old aa badges, and just wondering how i could restore or tidy them up?

Finally got the square AA badge polished up

And i have brought this to tidy up

What a reasonable price for one of these, $100?

Never has been raced before! When my old man was 17-18 (now 57) he use to piss up in it! the owner before us had done it up around about 10 years ago roughly!

Took the old girl to blossy this weekend and then the drags today, so but no pictures of it up there

So the other day I found a couple of small but big dints in the gaurd, and as i bog, sand and leave the car outside at night, it kept rusting and the bog kept cracking. So i now have the old girl in side and i've started from scratch!!

Maori'ed up a door card we got off a parts car that were bent up and stuff haha

Got a couple of old beer crates

So i brought two AA Badges of trademe for a total of $5.50, they aren't flash, but do show there age!!

And i got a sweet picture of the two old girls side by side

Spotted this slammed Morris 1100 at a wreckers, sales yard

So the hunter's looking not that bad at the moment,

The back which i painted black, it looks bloody sick i reckon!

Spotted this mint Porsche on the way to work a couple of weeks ago

And how do I fix the colour on the square AA badges? If possible
