  1. Following with interest. Agree 100% with strength before looks and/or originality in welded repairs. Especially where it will be all but invisible when finished.
  2. This being the important part. A competent structural engineer should be able to design and cert towbars and draw beams.
  3. Can you get away with still running an old style declaration if you've since fully rebuilt the car?
  4. This is exactly what happened with my son's car. No documentation at all their end. They just gave us the key. We took the car and did the change on line when we got home.
  5. So how are we supposed to know whether the vehicle we are buying is stolen or not if the cops won't say?
  6. Just put one of the indicators on when backing in the dark. Always worked for me on my Wolseley 1300.

    How many fuel filters does it have? Neighbour's worker turned up at home one time (his boss was away) seeking assistance with a stalled tractor. Turned out it had two fuel filters, one of which was near new and had clearly been replaced recently. The other one hadn't been touched and was clogged to buggery.
  8. Hey J5. Those tractors at your place look like they haven't moved since last time.
  9. Might have factory holes for seatbelts already in it. My '78 coon did.
  10. He'd be even more horrified to learn what's going to be in it.
  11. ^This. At least such was the case some years ago when I bought a Falcon that was on "farm" rego. Fairly sure it hasn't changed.
  12. How about rough sawn?
  13. Did you make it to the show @Lord Gruntfuttock?
  14. How'd the Cleveland like pulling 6k? Seems like a lot of revs for an 8.
  15. Can't be many of us who don't have at least one of these stashed somewhere. Kind of keen to attempt at least part of the Central Otago rail trail on one. Be a bit of a mission but not impossible.
  16. Thoughts on iron head vs alloy head? Heard a few bad stories about the early alloy head 4.1s. No idea if they were true.
  17. Also consider what you are hanging the chain hoist on, this being potentially the weakest link. I have seen a 302 Cleveland and C4 trans hanging from the bottom chord of a roof truss made entirely from 100x50 pine. The creaking sounds it made did not fill me with confidence.
  18. Love that green paint. Reminds me of a humbrol colour teenage me used on far too many models. Does it have a little bit of metal flake in it or is it just looking super glossy in your pics?
  19. This is my thinking too. We have a joke in the office that 1 + 1 = 4 but we call it 10 to give us a decent margin of safety.
  20. Nothing wrong with overkill. As a draughtsman fresh out of polytech I had a go at designing a timber boardwalk structure. The senior engineer had a look at my design, took out half the columns, and reckoned it would be about right.
  21. The Mitsubishi boys seem to be dominating.
  22. My Civic was refused a wof a couple of times for weeping oil past the sump gasket. Once again not a huge amount but they didn't like the look of it on the day.
  23. Pretty sure I have a waterbed heater somewhere. If anyone wants it I can have a look for it.
