If someone wants a bike for this I have an F5 Yamaha I'll probably never do anything with sitting awaiting fixing or something.

I'd just recondition the factory heater since it's already out. It's not like you're going to get 40 years of leaves and shit in it as an occasional car that's probably going to be kept undercover, plus they work well when they work. Maybe could do with a gruntier fan, but we had mine in an absolute monsoon a few weeks back in Hamilton and it demisted just fine. Cutting firewalls is IMO just a giant clusterfuck of a thing, perhaps suss out if you actually need to, and if you don't then retain that factory heater.

You're welcome man, wow what a dredge. Just ask if you have any questions, but it's all fairly straightforward.

I'm stoked you're making plans for him.

Also the IRS is not good it's flappy chicken wing semi trailing arm insta-toe camber gang garbage. But it's sweet for fitting wide wheels. Doing away with the shitty rear hub arangement would be dreamy to boot. But fitting another subframe is gonna be a massive dick of a job. Time is free I guess. I have an acceptable center console you can have. It isn't cracked near the choke but does have a mangled hole for oem demister switch and the holed for the gear boot clips have done their usual shit themselves thing. Look forward to seeing a UZ in the hole. It's my ideal swap too.

R200 is a pretty straightforward swap I can likely get photos of one done if you like.

Eureka moment! Well done!

Post about rust.

Fwaaa choice write up

The constant here, is Beams. If we banned the Beams 3S, then clearly no requirement for driveshaft loops

Fuggin' chequebook builders.

Into it, big style. Inspiration hits all the right notes, this is gonna be excellent for sure!

Nah I never got there. Saturday morning I felt utterly terrible and rolled out of bed about lunchtime with chores to do.

Probably great to have an officer of the law looking now that everyone's yarning about having no WOF and reg etc etc....

Yeah keen for a non long weekend mission, long weekends also mean loads of garbage traffic to deal with

Bravo!!!

Likewise! I'm waiting with bated breath and I'm about to pass out!

The fan knob has a wee pin you need to depress, then pull it off the shaft. (lol, knob and shaft). Then undo the bezel nut and it moves out the back. Take ciggy lighter out of socket, then undo the back of the ciggy lighter barrel and remove. Undo choke cable at the carbs, and proceed to pull the entire cable out from the inner from inside the cabin. Undo bezel nut on the choke slider thing and remove from the back. You may not have luck gluing, I've tried it in the past and it doesn't stay put, ever.

Just make sure that if you use the dry ice method, it's beneficial to put it in a bag as above, THEN put it on the sound deadener you wish to remove. That way, it helps with cleanup (ie. there is no cleanup of dry ice pellets). However it's not as effective on underseal as it is on interior sound deadener.

Metro Polishing, 14A Parity Place, Glenfield. He's usually there 9am ish until 2pm. Likes to go fishing often and sometimes won't be there on a weekend. Does magical work, for best reuslts get Mr. Vapour to strip the paint by blasting then take them to Jack at Metro.

Tridies for both cars. Both in 7" wide. Tridies added to the front. I tried to add them to the back, but the guard lips got in the way. Sheepers reckoned he'd had a little bit of experience stretching metal etc so I trundled over there. First he knocked the guard lips up using a hammer and dolly - the paint damage was inevitable, but we lucked out on the passengers side and only got a minor crack. Took it for a drive after that, to find the tyre was now rubbing on the INNER guard, near the top of the sidewall. The trusty hammer came out again, and the inners massaged then undersealed to ensure plenty of clearance now! Next up though, is to remedy that paint on the arch, and replace/repair a super fucked UJ on the half shaft, which made itself evident this afternoon. I'll probably do both halfshafts for peace of mind. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/53732-snoozins-79-two-point-five-s-its-for-sporty/ <----------yarns

The European aspect is so the electrical problems can ignite the English oil spills. Scorched earth car show.

You can park your Jap crap on the road mate, let the big kids kill the grass ok.

Yep, that'll do bloody nicely. What a transformation!
