    So as a little side project to be added to the skoda, I had a brilliant idea of how to use a retro radio but still a modern headunit (details in the build thread after plans are drawn up). If searched Google etc but I can't find much, so does anyone know what make or models of radio could have been fitted aftermarket to a nz registered car between 1970 and 1980?

    Got bored, decided to go to lyttleton. Ended up having a horn fight with a ke30 with airhorns and a model T with a period ouGa horn in the tunnel. Best horn fight ever, 10/10 would fight again

    Hey so i've never been to a swapmeet before AND I've never met you guys before so where am i supposed to be looking for you guys, and what guys should i even be looking for?
  6. dozydesmond
    Why not put the bugeye on a trailer and tow it with the van? Then you have a display AND room for loot

    I might hit up the swapmeet. Keep an eye out for a lost looking guy wearing a beanie and possibly gloves May possibly be followed/following a chick with blond hair, black highlights, and bright blue tips

    Thanks for the advice on the rust spots guys, ill have a look when i get a chance as for the engine, i might know someone who can do stronger gaskets, as i really really want ti keep it as factory as possible And as for having seen it on facebook, thats where i found it, and i fell in love with it (LOL last time i fell in love at first sight i ended really really badly so lets hope that this time is alot better. it should be, its a car and not a chick this time :D ) and as i have stated, i havn't made the swap yet as i have no tow car till next weekend. i can get a trailer no problem tho (Im in rangiora, its in cromwell...)
