  1. Cool. I'll need to make some time to take it off. Let you know when it's ready.
  2. How about the safety frame on my tractor? I'm not convinced that it would protect me adequately in a roll-over situation as part of one leg has rusted almost completely off. Might need some help to dismantle it though. You weld big stuff too?
  3. I have no fucking idea what that all means but I wish you all the best good luck with it. Love the way you've done it all without butchering the shell to buggery.
  4. Reckon there'll be a lot more uncerted Minis around that came with the 848 or 998 and are now running 1098 or 1275.
  5. True that. Dad's '80 Hilux could take a ton and a half on the deck but, being 12R powered, struggled to move fast with it.
  6. Is that trans the same four speeder as the EA2 and later six cylinder coons have?
  7. That'll get a circle of thick glass on top?
  8. Exactly this. There must be a market for them. I can't be the only one who'd be keen for something similarly sized to a '70s/early '80s Hilux or B1600 that isn't worn out and fucked.
  9. Cool ute. Wouldn't think there'd be many of those in New Zealand. Shame about the Hotwires though. I thought they suited it just right.
  10. Agree with ky here. White wheels, white roof, and a period correct body colour would be the way to go.
  11. My first car was a '70 Mk2 850. Loved it. Had no trouble at all keeping up with traffic. If your after an easy power increase you could do far worse than to fit a 1098. A lot of wof guys won't spot the difference.
  12. Forgiven. I had to go to wikipedia myself to spot the badge on the grille not the bonnet and the lack of C pillar vents and I've got three EAs. The thing that made me check was the radiator overflow tank. EAs don't have the same one as EB onward.
  13. The one that is the subject of this thread is an EA2 with the 30th anniversary side badge. The one ky linked to on the tard is an EB
  14. That's true. Just like the XC was an XA with most of the bugs worked out of it.
  15. How'd you manage to find one with such low ks on it? Thought I was doing well to get one with 240 odd thousand on it four years ago. Also how is it so high in the before lowering picture? Like it's lifted. Pretty sure none of my three have been that high.
  16. Good progress mate. Won't take you long to mow the lawn when it's all finished. Be fuck all of it left.
  17. Saw this at Hanmeet. Very tidy I thought. Please tell me you're going to fix it so the mudflaps don't drag on the ground.
  18. I love it when a car sits for years like that and then starts up pretty much straight away. Enjoyed those two short vids. Karl's taxi was one of the more memorable cars for me at Hanmeet this year.
  19. Seven inch sealed beams on my BMC cars and the Civic are actually better than the replaceable bulb seven inch round lights on my XC coon.
  20. All the rotang stereotypes there. Goes hard but doesn't last long.
  21. Our old Presbyterian minister dailied one of those back in the day. Went everywhere in it, unsealed back roads and all.
  22. Saw this in Te Anau two summers ago.
