Thought so, worth a shot

Is $5000 delusional

In all honesty what would all of you think its worth? i havent seen any around. I know what i payed for it and what ive spent on it but id like your opinion

Have since taken a break from the car and regained enough motivation to get back into it. With the Kaikoura hop coming up its the perfect time too. Both the Viva and the KE20 will be driven up there in the hope they both make it! Since the last update not a whole lot has been done. The fix for it running badly was very simple and purely the car over fueling to heck because of the carb supplied by the previous owner. I have since put the original carb on it and it runs a treat. Next i will be getting it re-ready for a warrant hopefully this week.

Does anyone have a drivers side wing mirror or interior side kick panels (Both)

I ended up getting a brand new one off a local company im friends with. And yes i know its probably very expensive but i wanted it asap. $285 for a brand new one never been used.

Does anyone have a starter motor for a 1256? Mines fucked

Its Nylon line, had a few issues crimping it when i was installing it. Luckily i saved it with the kit i bought without having to spend any more money.

Tings didn't quite go to plan today, everything seemed in order to get it all legal and get a WOF on it. Sadly this had a few issues. First off the car wouldn't start, with a little bit of pressuasion i got it to go. Secondly it had a flat tire, that i was prepared for and had a pump to pump it up. And thirdly it was coughing and spluttering the whole time and in the end died on the side of the road. The started jammed and i had to call it. She was towed home and now i have to figure out where to go from here.

Right, so i haven't been that great at keeping up to date and getting pictures but LARGE UPDATE TIME. The motor is in, with no issues getting it in except a pin the the rear flywheel being missing it all went to plan. After purchasing the needed parts we started it for the first time. Running on 95 it started and ran after having to get a small block out of the fuel line. After starting it and realizing that there was no temperature gauge nor indicator i went and purchased a oil pressure gauge and water temp. I have them placed currently like this but i am thinking of moving the oil pressure next to the water temp after i buy a new line for it. Ive had a few small leaks which ive fixed but still have an ongoing fuel leak. Ill have to buy some smaller line. The window was smashed by the previous owner so i replaced that with the help of dad and it is now water tight and able to be locked. Next on the list is to fix a small amount of rust in the inner guard, fix the bottom front indicator (Replace the wire) and fix the exhaust leaks/rust holes. It should go throught for its first attempt on Wednesday.

He is apperantly, but i havent heard from him yet. hes a good mate so we will see...

Also any windows out there, front drivers side?

The yellow is a very nice colour ill admit. I dont know if ill go any lower yet. Might do in the future though! Anyone know where i can get brand new carpet from?

Cheers guys, motors in now. Just sourcing some parts to get her going

Well just when you thought i couldn't finish my current projects, i thought why not add another! Discussion click here So here is my 1972 Vauxhall Viva Estate. Last registered in 2012 and been off the road since. It use to have the stock 1259cc but that has since been removed. A bit of a special car too, being the first in NZ with plate number 1. The previous owner has spent a lot of time and effort in getting the new motor built up. Its a Blydenstein 1259cc (1.3L now) and lets just say its not stock anymore. Heres how the car sat when it was on the road: Stay tuned in the coming weeks

A small but substantial update to bring this post back from the dead.. After saving for a good long while i was able to quire enough to go down to turners and purchase a 2001 Ford Mondeo. Bidding in an auction was an experience on its own, i was the only one to bid getting it for a mere $630.00. Driving it home that same day (/definaltey not driving it because its de-reg) It will be paired with a sierra 5 speed box i have from a previous deal.

So over the past however long its been ive had some good progress on repainting it. The panels have been quite bad and i am working to get them perfect. Before i started the strip down i grabbed dads mags and chucked them on to see what they would look like, with a slight polish it should look good when its done. So i finally completed the two doors that were giving me the most heartache along with the bonnet and starting on the rear quarter panel. Both quarter panels were especially bad so im fairly happy with how close it is at the momment. And finally the other doors are undercoated and dont require alot of work.

Hi all Here is my discussion for my KE20 Corolla build.

Hey all, Here is my recently purchased KE20 Toyota Corolla. Bought on Trademe from Hamilton and delivered to Christchurch. Discussion: Here is all the info as provided on Trademe: 1974 Toyota Corolla KE20 Sedan. Car is deregistered and has been in storage since ~2001. The good, everything is there, interior is in good condition, engine runs I have driven to Auckland and back from Hamilton but would be due an overhaul. The bad, all panels have dents, someone has attempted panel/paint poorly on it. In Jan 2011 I took it in for VIN inspection, it failed exhaust mount, brakes and damage on LH inner guard. The brakes and exhaust are trivial. Upon inspection of the damage it will need LH A pillar section replaced. I have a replacement cut to do so. Unfortunately I don't have enough space to keep it dry stored so needs to be sold. Here are the main photos displayed on the auction: Once the car was delivered finally i got to inspect the car fully. Saying that the panel work is bad is a understatement. Although something that is fixable and i can work through to get it back to its former glory. The interior is as mint as it looks. No rips no Tears all original. The only things that the interior is missing is the inner door pulls (Which im looking for if anyone knows of any). It has the original conversion chart and the original tool kit too. So i had to take it for a few drives. Heres the damage that needs to be repaired and the replacement section it came with:

Dad bought some tridents for himself, for when he buys one. We found out that my diff has moved forwards on my lowering blocks.

After finally getting some decent weather i got to de-trimming both sides of my car. Drilling out the rivets and then welding and grinding the holes flat. Now i just need to smear some bog over the welds to smooth them out.

Time for some small updates. We bought another one, Our family as a whole now own four... Although this one if fairly rusted out to the point of it being unfix-able (And definantley unroad-worthy). Good for parts though, has good trim and windows, a good condition dash etc. Also something i have never seen either, it has a tow bar which is quite cool in itself. Also i cut a few things out too. First off i cut out the rust in the back (Which was the first time doing so ever), the rust in both corners one side bigger than the other. The left over rust i believe we are going to weld and bog. With help from dad i also cut out the battery tray, i wanted to clean the engine bag up a bit so moving the battery to the back seemed to be a good solution. Again it was my first time doing so so its a bit rough here and there. I welded up the holes we drilled to get rid of the spot welds which once again was my first time welding on my car, but although its rough its nothing a smear of bog wont fix. And finally the top of the bonnet is finished just the underside to do now.

Do you have the paint code of the Ke30?

No, im actually looking for a 1600. We only have the stock 997cc engines

This is the thread of my 105e Ford Anglia, last year we got it to the point to be drive-able up to Kaikoura from Christchurch. Its nearly been a year now and i now have my learners license. So i decided to do it up properly as my first car. My discussion: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/53164-105e-ford-anglia-shannon-discussion/ My Brothers Anglia Fourm: http://oldschool.co....105e/?hl=jorden Here is my dads Ford Falcon (XP) http://oldschool.co....l-supercharged/ Here is the link to the proper journey to Kaikoura in two weeks. http://oldschool.co....glia/?hl=anglia Below is how we bought it for $1000 with nearly everything with it. It has around 86-7ish thousand miles on the clock. Before we drove it to Kaiakoura. Once we had it ready we got it registered and we put a warrant on the day we left. After we got home my dad used it for a run about car for a while and then it got parked up for a few months. Now im happy to say that in those few months i drove the car. This was the first car i had ever driven by myself (On the property of course). Now after another few months of sitting there it was my turn to do it up properly so i started the strip down. Everything came off the exterior except the handles and the window washer/wiper motors and also the chrome. And this is how it stood. We took the motor out this weekend. We put the motor in my brothers so it could get re-vinned. This is the only real rust on the car, theres also some on the boot: Im looking for Mk2 Cortina struts (Disc Brake Setup) message me please if you know of any The whole car is now bare metal excluding the roof and the engine bay so it will soon be ready for undercoat. Engine bay almost done My brothers wheels on my car Some pretty exciting news! while cleaning out the garage we found some undercoat. Its in a massive barrel. We tested it to make sure it was fine and it is. So im going hard out on my car at the moment finishing out all of the nitty stuff that i dont want to do A bit of surface rust, i guess this just shows that its been a while... Door jams The under small bit under the front and back guards/wheel wells. And finally the bit above the windows, thats really hard to get into with the wire wheel. So exciting time ahead!
