  2. Where the shit did this come from. popped out like a salmon and hit me in the jacobs. Hopefully Mini will have head back on Friday...or Monday. Thats if this one isn't cracked either.
  3. Needs chin lip, external oil cooler, and lower. Do it. Rims suit it to a T though.
  4. rotahavik.co.nz is a good place. you will need all new mounts, engine and box. new driveshaft, rad to keep up, oil cooler, the whole deal. go a heap harder that a 4k, esp good exhaust, carb, ported. frount mounting it maybe eisier, just a box tube with 2 45deg plates on it. or side mount, if the center plate is over the starlet xmember. nedskool 13bs are side i think. 12a cosmo plates are side mount i think but you could alsways just put a front mount front cover on.
  5. Lol this happened on this old Scrapheap Challenge I saw....can't remember how they got it to drive foward in reverse though.

    windscreen

    Putting them back in is a bit of a cunt. You have to wigle it round and there will always be the last courner that will be a mish. If you're getting new seals and stuff take get a window place to do it as they will guarantee it and they also have the little tool to put the locking strip back in.

    windscreen

    Once the locking strip is out as Methodz said get a couple people in there. remember push with equal distrobutions. Make sure someone is there to catch the windscreen. There may also be a strip on the inside.
  11. They will be welded on. It's British....pricks. Cut the guard away and then grind the spot welds. Like the grind the guard section so it heats up the weld and comes off easier. Use pliers. Try and keep the lip the guard is welded on to in the best condition possible. And dont forget there is a 99% chance your now guard won't line up properly.

    stud pattern

    Ke3X changed to 114.3 afaik. 20s etc are 110
  13. With only 205-215 then I would think that rolling would be sifficient.
  14. Ahhh, I see you bought this. I went and looked at it a year ago or something and ended up deciding against it ... *looks at rust work done* phewww lol! Top job. Good to see something a bit diff in NZ scence instead of the usual plain pinto or going for a diff engine, 4age etc. Theres also a pic of you and your one of your other escorts up at uni, noticed it matched off your site Just wondering where didyou get your EDIS setup from? Cheers.

    Welder

    Stagered mig welding won't warp it. Use grinder to cut -> clean up -> weld -> clean up -> make sure water tight etc.
  16. That happened to a mates BMW at `100k. His 17 past him adn jumped into a paddock. Ripped the guard in half pretty much, like ripped up the middle and all bent back. So lol.

    I meant to sound like "TRD Spekz!! ." I knew you were joking.
  21. Asked WEST? He's got that oragne wag on titans. I'm sure I've read here that they are all the same. Coupes/sedans/wags. But I'm not 100% so don't quote me. Go the tang. Get a coupe, they look sick.
