  1. I also did this, but then taped the relevant glad bag to the part that the nuts/bolts connected to. Worked well.
  2. Quite happy to tow this down to Waikerimoana for you to do a group demo.
  3. Are you still requiring entertainment in Tga for couple of hours when you arrive?
  4. These used to go pretty good for an ole 3.3.
  5. Millie and Shanaenae Milliie and Laquitia Millie and .........

    PAINT THREAD

    Totally. And there's no way I have those skills, but that's the level of workmanship I wanted on this car. Took me quite a while to find the right guy.

    PAINT THREAD

    Had a sunroof removed a while back. Paid good $ for a craftsman panel beater. Once the insert was tigged in it went to paint. The painter only used high build primer, no filler at all. Then a metal flake paint so it had to be spot on. Makes me lol watching the yankee hot rod shows. Fabrication is finished now it's time for body work, out comes a big drum of bog. Lol.
  10. @MopedNZand @GuyWithAviators and I had a luchtime Brian Lown on saturday and discussed the anticipation.
  11. I wont be using it again after it comes off. I'll do some research and see what model it is next time i'm in that particular shed.
  12. I might strike up a tech sharn about this over ales and bbq'd meat at lake Waikerimoana
  13. I'm not sure. It's on a big block Oldsmobile rocket. All the yanks use them, I don't like them. Have played around with holleys a lot over the years and find them a lot more tuneable. I picked up a new 600vs with manually adjustable floats (old school) when I was in the states last time. Just got to get off my ass and fit it.
  14. Ditto this, hate them with a passion. Must get around to swapping mine out.
  15. You can buy carb kits with re-usable gaskets that let you remove and refir the metering blocks if you're going to be fiddling lots. First test I used to do to see if it was over jetted was to get it running at a high idle, then wind the idle mixture screw in. If it winds all the way in and doesnt stall then you jets are way too big.
  16. Re- Carport framing, I would probably look at tying all the frame/purlins together with joist hangers and blue screws. Its all about uplift on carports.
