Bellicose

I've always liked Holden HQ sedan shape more than coupé.

Don't like how the roof of the coupé goes up towards the front.

(Have owned 100+ Q-J-X-Z's but only ever one two door Monaro, and only owned that for three days cos it was ugly lol)

Any recommended places to get a better quality paint from?

Where in the country are you?

Send to me. I kinda know how to paint shit.

(See bikes and shit for sale section to find link of helmet I just finished)

What's your paint plans?

Pyramid parts. It's an nz company. But probably get the parts sent to you from overseas anyway.

Have used them before, parts were in stock locally but don't know how they do it now.

Also AllBalls have a huge range and quick shipping.

That reminds me of that old crashed race car that killed the driver, then the tow truck driver, then the guy who bought the wreck, then the wreck was on display and fell down on a few other people and killed them.

More details??????

My CD250 was never in the 'system' but was sold new in nz by a Honda dealership but never registered, so no plate history or anything.

Took to local vtnz that did bike compliance and the guy said sweet as on problem. Just complied it as a "new" import.

I'm on phone so can't reply with a novel, but.

Police no longer do the "letter".

Go to a jp and do a sworn statement that you own it (helps to have a receipt) 

If bike is older than 91 no brake cert' required.

If it is newer than 91 brake cert' is needed, HOWEVER, the brake declaration only needs to be done by a competent person, which legally means anyone that can read a vernier caliper.

I helped source the "rust free" jag body in the background via my old boss for him back when I first started at NWC..... (nearly 20 years ago now)

Used to drive past that all the time but when i started "collecting" E3's it disappeared.

I THINK it was bought by the two old brother Barrys that bought my 2.

40 grit flap wheel on a grinder. Just watch out for flying chunks, they hurt.

Do now...................thanks..........lol

Been leaning towards 2 for a few weeks.

Will be doing the whole bike as the 'tins' lend themselves to something cool.

Getting close to paint on the Gadabout so have come up with 4 ideas, what's your thoughts?

1, 2, 3 or 4?

(Being a painter means i spend FARRRRRRR too much time on trying to decide on colours / designz lol)

Looked pretty rust free (well considering the year of it more like 'pretty well hidden rust')

This popped up on face palm.

Can't post link cos phone (pffft) but one looks semi complete and other looks kinda all these but in bits. He wants $100.

From his post.

giz 110 motor

'Tis one of the many motors I've got lying around that one day "may" end up in a project.

Is a mint little runner that I pulled out of step sons mini dirt bike, just because I wanted it haha. 

Think i may have found a use for the Chinese 110cc motor in my shed.

(Although i may be too fat lol)

Gas axe in one end until it catches alight, or fill pipe a third with diesel and light.
