Nothing i can really do, neither can the police by the sounds. Got a quote this morning for 280+gst to redo the rear quarter and blend door and bumper etc so not as bad as i thought. Still a shit load of money for a student to pull out of nowhere. Next step is probs a camera somewhere up the drive

thanks spence. my thoughts exactly, considering how tidy i had kept the it and the owners before me.

Not really the post i want to be making, but may have happened to someone on here. So between last night and 4pm some chutney ferrit poured paint stripper on my car. dont know why, how, or when, i have no clue where to even begin. my guess is some little hoodlum who raided his dads shed and wanted to use some of his meth ingredients is an old 5series e34, luxorbeige colour, no doubt been discontinued and will have to be matched. by the time i had found it, most panel and paint places had shut up shop and too hard to explain over the phone, so im wondering if anyone knows what will be required to fix this. just the quarter panel, or full respray? and any other tasks involved. id assume it needs to be sanded or bogged. if any panel beaters on here have a rough guestimate on the price, that'd be cool. just so i know what im in for. will take it into panel beaters on monday for a proper look but just wanted to know what im dealing with in the mean time. thanks in advance

that would have been epic. will have to wait for the next wellington ride to see you cats in action.

well deserved, their perspex magneto covers were genius.

thats awesome that you guys rode down. we trailered to a friends place and went for a decent nang to the venue. anyone know who won the prizes etc?

so yeah, this was sweet. so many rad old bikes i cheesed

Ok so me and another dude are gonna make an appearance here on our AX100's. Can we make a a sweet oldschool contingent?

potential /ling here but why does wheel not rotate when it idles? being auto i assumed it always spins if it can, or is it something to do with the new rollers?

anyone else gonna bring their bike? kinda like seedy's idea haha

ill be there with bells on mayte

+1 for elf, expenny but worth it. I think motul you can get for around $25 a litre, unsure if your premixing or not but some of it tends to be for premixing only rather than autolube. this is so awesome though, unbelievable speeds for a 50cc!

man so much pine (literally) over your acreage amazing amount of effort put in. definitely living the dream! would be an ideal little bed n breakfast type arrangement, for punters wanting to re-live the pioneer experience such as yourself

pls resched dolan or come cruise to reefton so I can participate

nice score on that 535! I saw it on trademe (if im thinking of the same one) and damn that was good buying. any plans for the shell? Im keen on some small trim bits if she's headed to a wreckers

good, good. yeah my fz was the same, my record was about 55km/h no mods and a whole lot of weight reduction. even rarer of the F series is the FY50, never seen one in nz tho. those wheels look similar to the Honda chaly wheels, are they three piece? you should look at yahoo jp auctions for some wide wheels, come in sweet sizes

nice score! what are your plans for this? restore or rat it out? I had a chance to buy one of these from a local scooter mechanic but it needed too much work and parts were hard to source. do these have the two speed g box?

Olds Cool Autos here in p norf has a 'running' engine for sale for around $200 mark if that suits anyone

glad I put that bike into the right set of hands! did you get around to replacing the kickstart spring? looks very good

TMC on here is your man. you can find the dimensions online. you wont regret the ring dings

yup, these bikes use the battery as a regulator so a new battery will help. id also recommend trying bulbs with a slightly higher wattage, the light is dimmer but stops them from blowing. allowing for maximum maintenance-free commuter speccing. this threads looking like an AGM of the AX100 owners committee!

yeah as above, stick to the basics with these things, good spark and a clean carb are usually all they need. we run the 6.5hp gx's at my work (indoor kart track) and they never give up. also maybe a bit of jump start or lynx down the carb doesn't go astray

whats your method for cracking them? the ol' heat gun and a rubber mallet get up?

I enjoy this. wheels on the silver one look super lush. perhaps I should start collecting e34's and establish a marina in my front yard

ITT: shitty landlords the main obligation of a tenant, other than paying rent, is keeping the property in a state of tidiness and in good repair. obviously landlord is assuming the worst of working on a car in the premises, therefore not allowing it at all. there really isn't much in the RTA about specifications in the agreement, mostly just shit about no wild parties. therefore if OP wanted he could pose an argument saying he'd lay down a floor covering, at his expense, to reduce the mess or something along those lines. the landlord might be a dick about it and say no, or he might consider that there's more to life than preserving the condition of a concrete floor in a bland, modern townhouse and let you store the car in the garage. at the end of the day i suppose he is just taking every measure he can to protect his investment, but just being a tad difficult /sorry for spam, i bid you fortuitous conclusions in your hunt for a storage space otherwise
