  1. Ah man im that guy who didnt use the search function haha. Couldve sworn there was a welding thread and what do ya know there is
  2. Either buying or renting, doesnt faze me either way but whatever is the cheaper option being honest. Anywhere in christchurch Might give southern gas a go though
  3. Chch crowd Best place to get a mig gas bottle? Believe size F?
  4. That might be the go there, i could make that a bit more tidy too tbh Yeah im not too sure what they were thinking tbh, each link is for seperate circuits, dont know why they didnt just run extra wire to the fuse box and tidy it up there. Penny pinching in the 80s i guess
  5. Its a bit of a weird one, 3 fuseable link wires off the positive on the battery into a plug on the wiring harness. Have thought of just replacing with fuses but thought it would look a bit ugly so want to remake whats there
  6. Anyone made there own or know how? Also where to get specific wire? Have read that theres a rule of thumb when it comes to wire size vs what its trying to protect but also that you cant just use any old wire
  7. Dropped the motor in, starting to piece more together and looks a hell of a lot more complete. Definitely a good feeling crossing that off the list
  8. Last 2 things before it can go on its maiden voyage Need a m18x1.25 nut for the rear hub to finish that off Has also decided to run a bit fucky wucky. Starts awesome, revs nicely and comes back to idle no worries but as soon as you jam it in gear it dies. If i have it on a stand i can put it in gear, go wide open throttle and it will pop/fart until it finally clears its throat. Guessing its way too rich but i cant lean it out any more, need some decent 2 stroke oil and gas though so will start there and try again
  9. Decided to do something different with the exhaust, just enough clearance for the kick start lever Rear brakes hooked up and "working" Engine mounted along with foot pegs Front wheel spacers made up and in, need to make something to keep the drum hub still Realistically only needs throttle cable, fuel line and wire up the key and coil Yee
  10. Had some time lately to work on this pos, for anyone who wants to know but AG front forks fit perfectly even with using the u5 headset bearings, score!! Think ive nailed down the look now, searching for a 19 or 21 inch front wheel to run a skinny tyre and some sort of tall bias ply rear tyre on the back but for now this will do. V90 motor sitting in the frame now too, needed to cut more of the frame and "massage" with a blunt instrument to fit but hey its in i guess. My mate is pestering me to go for a ride so should make steady progress each week
  11. Changed the tank as it was crusty inside and thoughts this old villiers one looked the part, ment i had to shorten the seat a tad. Tried to start it again but no real luck apart from some pops n farts. Pulled the carb and it was pretty gummed up, now it flows but also profusely pisses on the ground so the float needs to be adjusted Looking the part though
  12. And a cheeky shift lever because important
  13. Side quest time I got bored and had a little play with this, threw a coil at it and poured some mix gas down the hole. Barked off, revved and even fucking idled. Headset bushes are wasted, need to spin up some brass and replace. Im too keen to go for a cheeky hone so will see how much i can do so i can annoy the neighbours one fine sunday arvo Chur
  14. Every now and then i get some time to toodle away on this. Currently trying to figure out why most of the electrical stuff dont bloody work now. Everything was plugged back in and have triple check to make sure. Chasing wires is fun especially when your reference material doesnt match your car. Motor still needs a clean down but want to invest a good arvo in the sun so i dont potentially half ass it Pic for freddy
  15. ha I changed my mind again, full low and rigid. The old hardware is so fucked so have welded them at max slam, will keep an eye out for a complete front fork to replace them eventually as its most likely gonna ride like ass
