hes had some pretty fucking rad builds over the years. Dropping a m60 in a model a was probably my favourite, specially when he through the mud slingers on it.

You guys have probably seen this? Died in a fire 4 years ago and has come back as something else!

Interesting build. the amount of $$ in this scares the sh*t out of me haha, Mike must love that bucket of rust!!

I had to have a high stop light in my 240z when It got registered. I Still have it around somewhere if you want it? I took it out after getting registered and wofd.. Three wofs so far and no one had asked.

If it's a fine evening I may bring the Z again

Battle of the Zs

See you all Wednesday

Maybe try some museums / private collections and see if they want a sweet old unmolested Datsun in the mix?

Wow, yea I had not though of that. I will get on to that ASAP. I am a member of the ZCLUB, and I know they are often doing events to car museums around NZ so I shall ask them.

Thanks for that guys!

We could probably fit you into our shed at Matangi (near hamilton). We could shoehorn it in the corner where Yowzer's crown used to live. $17 per week. 

Thanks for the option mate, I will be in touch!

My Storage King unit is $3488 for a year. It's quite a lot bigger than a car but not quite big enough for two cars. Weirdly, it was cheaper than the next size down.

Yea these are the sorts of prices I have come across.. thats 7k by the time I get back, its going to hurt my account bad while im studying. But it is a fuck tone better option than selling!

FUCK OLD SCHOOL IS AWESOME!

I would imagine if you wanted cheaper secure storage that it would be far more economical to bring it too a cheaper town where storage is cheaper. Something like wanganui etc that still has good secured alamed storage places

Yea Im happy to pretty much drive the car anywhere in the Island as long as I can guarantee its safety!

Coventry Motors LTD.

 

09-4431966.

 

21 Porana Road, Glenfield/ Wairau valley.

 

Like Chris said, you'll see the Coventry sign/ BOC gas sign and its waaaay up the back, two level building. We see heaps of choice cars boosting up and down there all the time.

Thanks for this! I will give them a call and discuss! Thank you!

I'd be super paranoid about using a random storage place. Make sure it's insured to buggery whatever you do and that the insurance is aware of the scenario.

Yea Im very nervous about what todo, I am going to phone the insurance company today and discuss my options with them. 

If you get really pressed and don't mind driving it down south, I could tuck it in the back of my shed for you.

Wow, that is an incredible offer! Could be an excuse for an epic trip south for those last memories before I have to pack it away...

Say what now? haha

Hi Guys,

I am moving to Denmark in August for two years to study (had enough of working!) haha.

I need to find somewhere to store my beloved 240z, Has to be fully enclosed storage for around 2 years. could potentially move it after one year though. What are my options? anyone had to do this sort of horrible thing before?

I have been looking on trademe and I could possibly buy a 20ft container, Then I just have to find somewhere to put a container?

Anyone used any good car storage places that dont cost the earth? Or anyone have a farm house that I could possibly pay you a rental fee?

Just looking for options.. Cheers! heres a pic because Im sad my car has to be locked up

Fuck small disaster! nothing car related but im not going to be able to make it... really gutted Hopefully meet you all next month.

I'll see you all there in the 240!

The only thing I would change is make them a shade of charcoal instead of the black, otherwise they look really good.

They actually are charcoal, just the harsh lighting when I took the photo made them come out black,, Will just re edit the photos to show the charcoal... But thanks!

Premeet at 9:30 at Partmaster Wairau?

I'll head there for that time!

That's sounds good. Will be my first old school event so would rather find everyone before hand..

15x8s are perfect I think.. 16 to big.

14 look very stock which can be a good thing. Right now im just going to wait and see what I find. Suspension is first on my list.

There is also the Enkei Compe that come in 15x8 et0 they have no dish like watanabe though...

Thats clean! Im a bmw man through and through just somehow ended up with a 240,

I do love that e34 though!!! nice job.. still got the 2.0 in there?

got jesse to bid up to 30,000jpy for the 14s but still no luck.. 

Thinking I will do suspension first then decide on wheels.. 

is it really bad to run a 5mm spacer? guessing its illegal?

Really gutted i missed this got held up, I will bring the 240 along next time...

I have email Jesse to see what the cost of getting these would be.. http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=w119606393

Love the look of the wats

im keen to head along, how does a newbie find the oldschool gang?

Reckon you can make it out to Caffeine and Classics this coming Sunday?

 

It's held at Smales Farm on the North Shore from 10am onwards (finishes around 12:00-1:00pm though generally), I'm so keen to see this car!!!

yup I will try and be there! where are the details of this?
