The Dude

That charger was recently found rotting in an old guy's back yard. "Gonna restore it one day"

I've had photo's of it for years, its in Southern California, the guy bought it direct from the film company, it's stood since then!!!!!!!!

Looking good man, can't wait to see it at Kumeu!

Man you wont believe the grief I had deviating from stock, since my car is a 1 0f 1, but honestly once you modify a car it truly is a 1 of 1.

Since I've already gone the modify route I may go a LOT further

Drums are great to stop you once, but only once, and not from high speed, since everyone who's ever been in a car with me knows that I drive like James Hunt after a particularly large party, and the Moosetang weighs as much as your average aircraft carrier, disc's are definitely in its future

So hopefully the Mustang will be Landed in NZ in January sometime, fingers crossed.

Bronze you are totally correct Toby HB Halicki was a wrecker owner too, and he's kind of my hero, and you are also spot on the ball with the amassing of cars.

Yep it is going exactly where you think its going, we will be making a short movie at some point in time, we did a photo shoot with the Torino the other day, I'll get us all involved when the time comes

And yeah Drums, I have no idea why the Disc option box wasn't ticked, but it certainly should have been

Awesome cars, BMW bankrupted them to take them out in the 60's, really interesting story! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgward

The cars were seriously over engenered and parts are available from OZ http://www.borgwardisabella.com/

There are a couple of clubs for them too! I saw them and I was worried that nobody would save them.

They are rare and quite desirable in Europe, but virtually unknown here.

any help you need P.M me and I'll see what I can do.

Great save dude

Mate you got a head scratcher there

I was gonna say karmann ghia, or Henry J

It's got a nice hofman kink

Hmm I'm going to say what we are looking at here, is a Kiwi Fiberglass special.

I did find a better photo of it tho!

Please please please tell me you have hair and leather driving gloves...

 

Err yes and yes!

Ok confession time, I'm a film tragic, Elenore, yep the real one has been a favorite of mine for a long, long time.

Mine is originally a 73 Sports roof in Bright yellow, exactly like the real one (the real one was a 71, disguised like a 73. mines a real 73, disguised like a 71 dressed up as a 73, mind blown?

Eventually it will become a true Elenore, it was bought new from Friendly Ford in Fresno so its pretty close to where Halicki bought (stole if you believe the legend!!!!) His.

I'm loving the Matt Black at the moment, so it will be staying like that for a while, it has gained some spoilers and stuff at the moment, but eventually it will probably go back to Yellow, and become a proper Elenore clone.

Currently running an exciting 2v 302, but much hotness coming that way soon.

I'll up date some of the progress on it soon.

Vince it might look a little bit like a 120y coupe, but I like them too Maybe a little bit like a matt black Mitsi Coupe too come to think of it.

Tom, you will always read these posts in my voice from now on, its unavoidable, because I write exactly like I speak.

Mad max fans, if you think this is cool, you wait till you see my Armored Post Apocalyptic ZG Fairlane build!!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys, it gives me much happiness to have some oldschool approval

I probably need to start a couple of build threads I think, I just thought I'd start somewhere!

Discuss, spam , love, hate here //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/46029-zebra-dudes-1973-musang-sportsroof/

So here it is.

The discussion thread for my Mustang, some work has been done and I'll add the updates as and when I can.

Cons

It doesn't run.

Some of the floor is missing

It has drum front brakes

The interior has disintergrated

its in America.

Pro's

I love it

It was seriously cheap

it has only had two owners

genuine 58,000 miles

its a desert car, so no major rot.

its a 1 of 1 car, the only Mustang built with the trim colour, body colour combo and has a really extensive and weird option list.

Help/advice/spam all welcome

280 Hp!!!! man that's the good one, Mine, not so much.

Its due for a rebuild tho, so I guess its upgrade time as soon as I pull it apart.

Awesomely comfortable tho

Man Awesome film, awesome car!!!!!

We've done the shoot this time, but we'll be sure to invite you to the next one, Neils painting his Holden in MOT colours

Fair play that was awesome.

Crown coupe and Lancia Gamma, I'm fully Blown away, never seen either of those cars on the road ever!!!!

Plus Mexican and Magarita's

what can I say?

I can say next time Neil, I'm bringing the Thunder, even if I have to cut off the Torino's exhaust, cut a hole in the bonnet and stick the exhaust through it Bosozoku style, I WILL have a car thats louder than your Holden, By the Power of Greyskull, I must!!!

I am going to park it directly next to you, I may even lock you in it for a while

Err I have to deliver a Holden Combo, so will be coming in this, but I'm parking upstairs, because Combo's are cool, right?

Please don't hold this against me, normal service will be resumed next meeting.

Mexican this week for me!!!!!

Yes buy it, I love it and it looks awesome and rust free.

Plus all old panel vans are cool!

I also have lots of old boxes.

I may owe you some boxes Mr 808, most were exploderated by the combination of HQ, Torino and Pointy Scorpion Bumpers! A fun time was had by all, and man Neil really knows how to wear your Beige suit

Actually thats an awesome idea

Maybe I'll fire up the Oxford (now delivered!) and put on my flat cap

I'm in, what can I bring?, the Gran Torino is beginning to attract attention from the 5-0!

All of my cars are so illegal its not funny.

I may have to come undercover in the Zebra fun bus, unless I pull my finger out.

That would end badly for the beige suit, have you seen how dirty the Torino is

Fark!!!!!

            That'll be my old girl, 1976 Michigan car!!!!!!!! Not that it matters much after 100,000 mjiles.

Dreaded Michigan casting? why what's wrong with those?

All the 400m are a bit,errr underpowered being super low compression and two barrel. 360lbs torque and 180 bhp in full smogger spec
