The Dude

Wow I wondered if any work had been done to it.

It's a very very rare car, 1 of 1

Hello,

I'm Henry, working as vehicles coordinator on an NZ film called Head South, set in early 1980s Christchurch. We are looking for cars to use in our film! We have an ok budget to hire cars off anyone who might be keen to see their beautiful car in the film.

We're looking for various cars to dress into the back of shots on the streets of Christchurch. And are also looking for specific cars to be used directly by actors, such as a Fiat x19, a brown Holden sedan, 1965 Morris 1000, a Solex moped, MG sports, Zephyr 6 Mark 3 and various others.

Any suggestions and comments are much appreciated!

Thank you

I have a few cars if you would like to get in contact

Would you have a mk1 Morris bonnet badge and a interior light assembly 

I think both of those are absolutely unobtainable, the club in the uk would have some though

Legend! I need heaps haha

First and foremost:

- drivers seat

- windshield wiper arm

- rear seatbelts

 

for rear seatbelts, do I need to be careful how I mount these? Or can I just bolt them anywhere sturdy and claim a grandfather clause for my wofs?

 

Rear seatbelts were never in these as standard so it's buy a set, but be careful how you mount them, or pull them at wof time

“Mondog” is such a great name. Was that your creation @The Dude?

I think I might have been one of the first in old-school to call it that, but I'm pretty sure it was a world wide term about 6 months after launch

Yeah dads been over to Horopito already and collected a new bumper, front guard, and maybe a couple of other bits.

Lots of Jeep stuff seems to be the same as well. 

Yes the six cylinder is very very similar, and the 70s v8 too

Oh horipito has a few of these there in various states

Not sure to be honest. Haven't had a lot to do with them in the past.

Ok good news they are kinda considered mopar in the USA and parts are available for them in the usa, bad news, they arnt as common as a chevy or ford.

just a few quick questions, sorry for the obvious sounding ones.

1. is the handbrake actually off (slack cable and adjusters off), and is it in neutral, not park.

2. have you tried towing it backwards?

try putting a bit of pressure on backwards and hitting with a hammer, otherwise its wheels off and hit drums with a hammer. to be honest ive never had a car that didnt come off by being jerked backwards.

Doh I just read the new bit, glad to see it finally released its hold. 

Looks a really decent start to a project.

ahhh, dammit I was going to go and pick this up a few years ago and life totally got in my way, sad to see its still there.

I could come and grab it now though if its still available.

I purchased the snipe hawk for a box of beer, i needed it for a post apocalyptic movie im doing at the moment.

Ive been using that yard as my secret man cave for a while now, i outgrew some other spaces. 

Holla at me if anyone wants any citroen wagon stuff

Interesting, there is a few other cars there including two Citroen wagons that were linked on os somewhere. I guess it all must be for sale, at a price. Any link to the ad?

You have inadvertently stumbled across my home base sir.

It would be such a good mish, reckon it would need 70cc & variator

I replaced it with a 1200cc Kawasaki Zrx.

Literally scared myself stupid on the first ride, after riding the Sky for ages, then getting back on a big bike, I can confirm it was err, suprisingly fast
