I hope so. I feel sick inside for being such a dumb cunt by taking someone at their word...But that's how I've always been. Just got fucked over this time.

I wouldn’t beat yourself up too much about it. Most of have a story about being ripped off by some cunt grinfucking you. You are doing the right thing going to disputes and if doesn’t go completely your way at least you have given it your best shot. 

Hopefully the summons to the disputes tribunal will all be too hard for him and he will get in touch and do a deal

was it owned by Andrew Turner before you? I think I certed it for him, it didn't have the scoop on then, and that was prior to the requirement for measuring the height and recording it

people get them legal then stack stuff back on top after the plate goes on, which is why we have to measure it and put it on the plate now

 

heres one in  its (just) legal state, im pretty sure after the plate went on, it got its other taller carbs and scoop put back on

 

 

Yep I bought it off Andrew.

How old are your rubber lines? They can swell up on the inside when old

Got that tee shirt. Car sat for a couple of years and back brakes were jammed when tried to move it. The rear rubber brake hose had collapsed inside. Cut the hose off and bing back brakes freed up

Yes complete. Very good buying. 

Hopefully he won’t turn up to court.

Here you go, this is an SS Commodore as you described. 

That's a 2L ice cream container on its side, and it's above the string line. I measure it to roughly be a maximum of 150mm at the firewall you could have sticking out. So sorry to bust burst your bubble...But those dreams of that methanol blower with the huge bug catcher scoop like a top fuel dragster aren't a reality if you want your car to be street legal sorry.

My Senator was fully certed back in 2008 for the blower. I doubt it would pass cert now. I’m actually going to put on one of those scoops that sits over the carb as the one on it at the moment causes a bad blind spot on the left front corner. I’d budget 20-30k to build and get legal. It’s all the small shit that adds up

Put it down to experiance. Most you you will get at disputes tribunal is 50% of your claim and then they will try and grinfuck you into accepting 5 bucks a week. Ask for an examination oof their finances if they try and pull that stunt.

this is a he said she said situation so nobody wins unfortunately 

Hi all, the boy is look at buying a 92 Skyline which is a manual. I downloaded the Jap auction report and that plus the photos show it was originally an auto. Question is does the auto to maunual conversion need to be certified? Btw it has a current VTNZ WOF with the manual gearbox.

I just want one

No updates apart from bottom end of the engine is done. Ended up sleeving the block to use the pistons that were already in it. Next job is reco the head and convert to unleaded. Body is on hold until the 2 Door GT is finished at R3 and then onto this one straight away

Don’t put that scody sunroof back in. Wait a bit longer save some pingers and get the hole filled in properly. The guy doing my GT Cortina just did one on a Mk 2 Escort Sport come up mint

recently purchased for 40k by new owner apparently. That's almost rotary prices.

GT spec 

Stolen at that price and it was less than 40k. Last one sold for 56K and this one was a bargain 

Crush it. Have a wake first to celebrate it’s life

Going to have a crack at setting up the diff myself. Quaife ATB, 3.77 gears, alloy head which weighs bugger all. What can possibly go wrong lol.

This arrived today. LSD.

What’s bolt mounting spacing on the rear bumper? I may have some

Taking the CRX to the drags this year?

Got the body to my olds in Timaru amd the oldschool freight network looks like it’s going to get it to Auckland. Always risky buying sight unseen but it’s a good one. That good in fact I’ll have to consider using this rather than fixing the GT shell. Bit of a dilemma.

I have another old Mk 1 GT Cortina with dead rego but still have the original ownership papers and body tags. The number plates are long gone. How hard would this to be to register?

Tiida or Swift a no brainer.
