j.e.d.

Good to see a couple of paddles handy.. but in all seriousness, looking forward to hearing your plans to remedy the flooding.. Would it be a matter of better redirection of the water or raising the house onto a basement for said vehicles as well as water management away from site?

Nothing like full send on the revs straight after putting it all together.. bloody well done and great job so far man

Is that a wankel shaped exhaust tip? Is that what you’d call it? I have no idea sorry.

Correct, basement carpark floor, fences show actual ground level.

Technicalities.. ground (as mentioned in the article) to me is measured at the point of the subject in question.. ground 'level' on the other hand is as you say, but not what they say.. 

Those teddy bears are spinning pretty fast.. I think you should call it 107.8 fwtb instead of 107.8 fwkw

Someone needs to check their tape measure.

my brain hurts.

Looks awesome, prefer the look of a well used and maintained car.. that mechanical drama didn’t sound very enjoyable.. engine bay looks great though

Battery balls hanging from your car.. guess that better than the other tryhards on the road with their fake ball sacks

I wouldn't count on the VIN in carjam being right. Plenty of mix ups when cars got registered years ago. Not too hard to see a badly written 8 being turned into a 5. 

Agreed, from memory the VIN on this car doesn't match what's on Carjam.

Edit.. looked back on my previous thread & it was the calling it a Firebird & not Trans am that was wrong on Carjam.

@Al1, wouldn't surprise me if the '5' on the Carjam VIN has been misread & its a 6 or 8.

@MARTS-PL310 wow, love the engine bay pics.. restoration goals right there. Feel free to post more pics of the outside & interior mate.. cheers

@yoeddynz I'm your 200th YooToob subscriber.. do I get a prize?

Not sure they have even decided on the tax / rebates yet? 

 

Did they also offer you a good deal on a new ute? Lol

haha nah, he was pushing buying an EV before the rebate finishes but when I said I need a vehicle for towing he conceded EV's aren't there yet for those requirements.. he used towing over the Kaimai's as reference to EV failure (sucked dry battery no doubt) while towing

I've just heard that RUC's are going to be removed from ute's from December (from a rep at Schofields calling me about getting into an EV with this big expo coming up).. is this true?
