  1. Claims to be Luddite, yet smashes out 3d CAD models. WHERE IS YOUR STONE TABLET AND FLINT?
  2. Sunbeam

    PAINT THREAD

    Workmate bought one of these from here and he’s very happy with it.
  3. Do you want to keep it road legal? If not, I favour option 2 (e) Ford smallblock (302) surprisingly compact and eleventy times more tuning potential than Rover V8. Obtain engine and gearbag from vomit spec mustang wreck from ‘Murica. Probably need beefier diff though. However, suspension and braking upgrades will punish your wallet as much or more than engine shenanigans. In fact, fit supercharger and be happy. Merry Christmas, yours uselessly Sunbeam
  4. 5 stud MGB? FAKE NEWS!
  5. More than an X1/9
  6. How’s the zorst music now?
  7. That dash looks amazing. You’re a clever chap! Bugger about the flood damage. I’m picking out in the countryside you’ll have gc neighbours for help and even someone with the right machinery?
  8. Chamberlains did mine and custom made me some coils for the front too. Spot on first try.
  9. Behold, my 52 year old vehicle has a WOF, and I don’t need to go back for a whole year!
  10. My WOF lapsed in June. By happy coincidence, my procrastination has resulted in being able to take early advantage of TWELVE MONTH WOFs for vehicles of superior vintage. There was an advisory on the body to diff flexi brake line last time, so today I took a sample into CBC and exactly 120 seconds later they had made me a new hose and I was on my way! While on my run of errands I took my 14 inch Performance challengers to the tyre shop to ditch the 185/55 Linglongs. As we discussed (limited) options of non-Chinesium 185/65’s like Michelin XM2 etc he said hang on I have one set of Dunlop SP sport fm800. Quick google showed they had mostly good reviews and so I scored them for Linglong money. I had wanted some hub rings for the challengers and they turned up months ago so today I had to give them a tickle with emery so they fit properly. Then it was time to change the brake hose, bleed the brakes and go for a hoon. Speedo error is now only 5% instead of the 10% I have wth the 205/60/13’s. WOF booked 1st thing tomorrow morning.
  11. Long gone. It went to Hawkes bay though (Napier)
  12. I’ve got one in black. GHFWII. I’m very happy with it. There’s two versions (there were 7 years ago) I cheaped out and bought a standard one, but there was a continuous run model too, which I would buy if shopping again.
  13. Rock Auto continues to deliver the goods. How’s these for $50 a pop? Filed for future use.
  14. I found your problem ^ Happy to give more tech tips anytime.
