Tbh close to $1 reserving it on trade me .

thing makes a nice shelf in the shed though....

Let me know if you do.

but you should still finish it

Things to do...

welds on the cross support on the front seat have broken so need to weld that up.

the spring wire thing under the front seat are snapped as well so I’m pretty much just sitting on the floor so need to sort that out. No idea where to get old school seat springs???

go a workshop manual too so can start getting it running better, think is just the timing.

get steel and start making rear tow bar and front bar, both with built in recovery points.

i replaces the rear brake cyl and shoes as well so my hand brake now works again, hopefully it won’t roll down the hill away from me again.

hand brake leavers on the side of the drums are still from dirt etc so I’ll pull them apart and regrease it all.

also snapped you this OS OEM roof basket witch is sweet. Alloy too in keeping with the light weight theme.

think it’s factory option for a 60 series landy but it all bolts/rivers the same as the tray so can make it fit and now update my JDM fuck boy status up another notch once I get some racks to mount it on

Treated my self for Christmas.

bumper was in bad shape and indicator hanging on with a wood screw and penny washer.

brand new repo bumper, end caps and indicator was a little over $200.

indicator fitment wasn’t great but I made it work.

picked up an LSD as well, so once I fucking find my verniers I’ll get some shim steel.

its an odd type of lsd, works on centre spring pre load. One in my other car is Cusco clutch plate with a cam, works bloody well, I’m sceptical of this pre load thing.

but it was cheap and better then an open so meh.

its from a 90’s so apparently the bearings are bigger so need to figure out what bearings to get, once that’s done..

put the shimmed one with the bigger bearings in the rear.

then shim the original one back to factory spec and put it in the front.

since it doesn’t have a cam and works on proloaded plates I’m assuming it’ll operate like a 2way, in witch I want to be careful how much I shim the front one or it will be a nightmare and dangerous on the road.

Picked up some second hand EFS shocks off Kris witch is good as mine are stuffed and still have Toyota stamped on them.

Kris was a g and took me for a hot lap in his crumpy too, animal thing!

feels super similar to ATV things I’ve driven, much like

how many do you need, i think i have some spares in the shed. you in akld?

Cheers, only 4. Two the nuts snapped off, the other has rounded out the bumper.

might get new ones so their nice and square and I can put something on the thread to stop it from corroding 

Hey guys!

where could I buy some button head bolts like this for my chrome bumper?

cheers in advance 

Second that, looks really tidy dude!

if you need any parts body parts there’s a company in chch advertising on trademe that do brand new repo parts. I got a couple things last week so we’ll see how they line up

So this turned up! Pretty stoked haha defiantly going on the garage wall with the winning slip from my DYO win haha

thanks for sending this though Brent! These stickers are dope to! Old DEKA is pretty sweet!

many thanks to organisers, had a good laugh and nice to check out other builds from the page.

as anyone could tell it still runs like crap, might be going unconditional on a house this week so spare time and funds have been short, and probably will be through into the new year but I’ll keep tinkering with it.

and fingers crossed with my own garage, be able to get my other cars up to a road worthy standard for next years drags.... maybe.

I’ll get Matt to send through the video of me getting smoked by the yellow moped

P.S if anyone has a photo of this crumpy lined up next to the GTR please send it through

Nice seeing this in person on Saturday man! Super nice car you’ve built

It lives!

its mayden voyage from kumeu to te Atatu went without a hitch

it is hilariously slower though haha I’ll play with the carb some more and see if I can get it from low 30 1/4 miles back into the 20’s

I have a set in Papakura. Too late?

Got it sorted now but thanks for the offer!

just ground notch’s into the ends, worked a treat

front an rear diff heads are the same in these things.  front is just a rear  running backwards.  so yeh  any rear head or center will fit front.   cv's are weakest part

Awesome cheers kris! Will keep an eye for another LSD.

my thoughts were to look out for a half decent LSD for the rear then swap the sloppy factory one in the front. Maybe shim it back to factory spec but nothing to fancy, just enough to help off road.

Ground some notches in the C clips with a thin disc on a grinder. Made it miles easier!!

so it’s wheels on and plodding around a paddock.

only thing now is getting it running well, witch is proving a lot harder then I thought.

has some weird solenoid that makes it idle with out the choke that’s feed from some very 80’s looking emissions looking box.

unfortuntly the shorted it out and can’t find the fuse for it.

jammed 12v on it and it seems to work when warm. Still runs like a bag of dicks and the idle and enrichment screws do fuck all. Pretty unhappy atm.

might tinker with the factory carb this week, really the last thing I want to be doing, and hope of OS drag week are looking slim for the DYO slayer

Got it running on the new carb, only idles with the choke so need to spend some time setting it up. But it runs and doesn’t leak so thats a win for this week.

got the wheel bearings too. At $150 they cost x5 what the carina ones did, and $40 for diff fluid too.

apprently old factory lsd’s fit in the front so might look into that too

C clips in the free wheel hubs?

Don't Chuck the old ones, make sure the ones with holes clear the sliding part of the freewheel hub.

Need some like these with a flat end

Cheers will double check that! And defiantly the right tool for the job! I asked some mates if they had any like that but no luck.

ended up using my rounded ones, but holding a flat head against one side of the clip with the side of my hand so it opened more on the other side.

while levering the screw driver and holding the c clip plyers in one hand I got a flat head in the other hand to try hook under the lifted side.

lots of cursing as you could imagine 

Carb crapped it self and started leaking fuel, motors non cross flow to so straight onto the exh manifold, mint.

thankfully these things are really popular in the states and parts are cheap on eBay, seal kit was $120 or whole new carb for $210.

Should take 3 or so weeks to turn up so thought I’d work on some other things while I wait on that. Like the swivel hubs I’ve been putting off for some time..

Rebuilding swivel hubs sucks dick. NZAD did a really good kit that came with a bucket load of shims and good quality seals witch was around 100 and something. 

I’ll go to saeco tomorrow and get new wheel bearings and C clips that have plyer holes. factory ones don’t and left me throwing tools around in anger for some time

Trashed the tits off it. Got it completely air borne witch was pretty sweet. Steering wheels on the piss now.

check YouTube for a decline where the rear started to lift and come around.

dug out by safs and landys, pretty much just coasted down on my diffs

found a place called church (check rd sign) that was well setup and spent some time smoking and drinking there before coming back to civilisation 

Fresh wof!

...and a hole I need to fill...

With wof at the end of the month thought I better sort me shit and get it ready. For the past two months the tray has only been held on by two m14 bolts.

that and mud flaps, got some flaps on super cheap but their a bit small. Should be sweet for wof, I’ll keep an eye out for plastic to make some more.

new tail exhaust too. Took it from 1.75” to a mighty 2” and the muffler from 600mm to 500mm.

Progress.

doors and hatch to do, then start laying paint

Whoops

Went out again today for a bit of a play.

Headed up to the ship wreck, came across a bloke in his 2wd company vehicle bogged a couple km’s away from the exit. Super smart cookie
after snatching him out we were a couple hours from full tide. Decided to head for it and made a dash for Wilson’s. Getting around the trees we had to wait for the waves to pull out and plant it around before the next wave. Made for some excitement, but turns out ye ol crumpy doesn’t like drinking salt water.

made some horrible noises and with the dizzy being wet it ran mostly on 2-3 cyl for some time. This meant for unburnt cyl where its basically key banged its way down the beach for a couple km’s.

so much so, my muffler literately exploded like a dive bottle in a fireplace, then continued driving thowing massive exploding flames out the mangled metal.

pulled up on the dunes and cranked out the gas cooker for some dinner then headed home. And of course what do you do when your muffler explodes? Go through a tunnel

Hit the beach on Friday night, definitely a big difference with the alloy tray. Lack of traction in the rear is very noticeable but can make it up more dunes now so long as I get my gear selection right and carry momentum.

went to the scrappy on Saturday and put it on the scales. Dropped 110kg with the new tray so happy with that!

maybe replace the front bump with an alloy one will help shift the weight back onto the rear.

Made a spigot bush from phosphor bronze.

just need to order a fork, release bearing and slave and this chapter will be done

Flywheel and clutch is bolted up, bellhousing done.

just waiting on some bronze to make a spigot bush and need to sauce a release bearing carrier then be good to bolt it up.
