    There's not much holding the B pillar on obviously the rubber gasket between cab and rear was a bad idea.

    So I purchased another project even though I already have two project house's and three project cars. So I purchased two vehicles for $229 one with rego on hold I still have to pick up the bodies but I have brought home two car loads and one trailer of the junk. I have already rebuilt a spare carb and made sure the engine ran ok while on the trailer. So here is a upside down door with rust.

    My uncle in his 70s is going a bit down hill with his memory, mobility, and has cancer. He's a original rodder from the 60s and loves his cars. I was waiting take him out for a day he will like as he has not done much for the last two years after his wife passed apart from going to funerals for his siblings and cousins So I was wanting to know recommendations for a day time meet in the eastern waikato or close enough that's coming up Pic for inspiration

    Thanks I think I will have a go at doing them first but contact me when you look at the rh floor. The sill is not that bad that just replacing the main profile areas should do as the Jack points are OK just some surface rust. On side note I am really amazed that there is little rust for the fact that the metal is bare from the factory inside the sill

    Excellent work on the floor How much $$ for two front floors and two outer sills Seriously I do have tools and some skills to make them but time and motivation is always an issue. And your end result is that good.

    Hello MARTS-PL310 to make me find this easier link me into the conversation. I do still have the spare car & since I now have a wagon I do need to wreck the parts car to make more room. It has a rusty floor also & bottom of pillars are rusty also but is straight. shipping would cost you alot unless your visiting nz for a holiday. Nice car tho, could you make your own build thead, people get bored with my very slow progress so it would be good to see another one to help inspire me to do more work on mine.

    The 515,000km Maxima reluctantly dragged this back home yesterday but it was good until it got to my driveway & remembered it was a FWD dragging lots of weight up a gravel driveway at 930pm

    May I recommend using N2O for a heater when it backfires
  20. MRT1TRD
    If you want power for cheep I have a M54B30 I can sell you in a E46 coupe shell For $1200 or if you want it as it is now (driving with wheels) $1500

    I'm sorry but I don't endorse using a M4x engine of any discription & spending over $10k to get it spinning 10k and the car will be no more valuable than it is with the M20b20 Buying this will be so much easier & cheeper & would add value almost equal to what you spend. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/engines/auction-1529182040.htm?rsqid=2a1dfb619cb2417d91f75ff0274b21a3

    Mustang drivers can't always get it right.

    I have been doing a little on this when I can & today since I have finished refitting the rare option (for NZ new) heater I was able to fill the car with coolant & run it until warm I can report no leaks from heater & thurmostat still works. Water stains shown are from driving around with wiper spindles removed many years ago & the new goal is to get this back on the road before I restore interior etc. So while outside I gave it its first car wash in over a decade then drove for a few 100m's round the carparks
