mutiny

Might bring myself to the next meet. Havnt been to one for like 8 hours when I was living in welly. Anyone else taking motorcycles ?

Page 8 thread dredge. So I've still got this thing. I put it up for sake a couple weeks before lockdown and got bombarded with absolute fuckwits as per trying to sell something on Facebook. I got so sick of it in the end that I didn't want anyone else to own it so I decided to pull finger instead. So this lock down has been a whole lot of making do with what I have so I've been doing a bunch of rust repairs so the cab forward is now rust free and sitting in primer. It goes to paint in a couple weeks which I am looking forward to. Have decided to go white . While the truck is away getting painted I'll set to on the wellside which is going to be a massive undertaking

Had a productive day today. Got the chassis swapped over. Damn it was ghetto. 2 small jacks and 4 axle stands haha. C notched chassis is up for sale if anyone wants it. 300 bucks bare

Thread dredge from page 6 haha. Progress has been very slow on this. Lack of room is just a killer. Tonight I pulled the 2l out. One step closer to pulling the cab off the c notch chassis . At least with the motor and box out it will be a little lighter to push in and out of the garage. That's all the progress for now. So here's a boring pic for a boring build

Could be interested in the motor. Don't need the box though . Any idea how much he would be looking for ?

Another boring update. Have now got the chassis I'm going to run stripped of its cab and junk. Haven't decided if I'll rebuild the front end with all the new suspension bits I have before I put my cab on it or not. So it looks like the 2l I have in it is siezed. Have had some deisel sitting in the bores hoping it will free itself but it isn't looking promising so I may throw the 1600 motor in till I have decided what I'm going to do engine wise. I'm about to start another round of renovations so this will probabaly sit on the back burner for a while again. If anyone needa any parts let me know

Found some time to actually work on this today. Have been juggling work/life/enjoyment/house renovation time as of late. Not really sure what category working on it comes under, maybe I should have included a frustration category. So this thing has its ignition switch and headlight wiring hacked to bits. Every wiring diagram I have doesn't match my ute so figured I would just steal the loom from the parts ute. With how little the loom contains it shouldn't take long to swap it into the proper ute. The loom from the parts ute looks to have a few gremlins hiding in it too. Possibly due to rats.should be a straight forward fix. I took the motor and gear box out of the parts ute getting ready to clean the chassis up and swap my body onto the normal chassis and do away with the c notch. Have made a bit of progress on the wellside also. A friend has a sheet of zintec? At his shop for me and when I have time I'm gonna head into his work and start to cut out what I need and do some folds in preparation for welding into welside. Here's a couple lame photos but who doesn't like photos

Well not a lot to report on this. I did pick up a parts car. Going to run the standard chassis and flick the c notch.

Nah man. Those photos are from my place

Yeah people are still wanting stupid money for rusty de reg flat deck ones . Last time I was in reefton I spotted like 6 just rotting away in paddocks

Want to swap a standard chassis for a notched one?

Pffft t series. Chch ain't that fancy

Just picked up this old girl off a mate of mine who had owned it for about 12 years. It's going to be a hell of a lot of work to get it legal ago. He built it as a bit of a skid hack and not alot else. Has a 2l in with with a bit of head work and a cam in it with a 5 speed box. Has been c notched which I'm not sire of i will continue down that route or hunt down a factory chassis . I've got the grill and head light surrounds to throw back on which should make it looks a bit tidier Anyway on to the pics Disco thread

Any gcs on here in blenheim possibly able to have a look at a vehicle for me ? Payment can be in liquid or money form

I live in that area. What you need

Not sure if it has been covered here but I'm gonna ask anyway, Aside mounted number plates on motorcycles. Legal or no? Have been told not legal but sure as shit see a lot of them

Yeah it's the black 12a one on trade me

Unsure of this has been posted in here or if you've seen it. Skip to 10.25

I think you just use one of the 2nd gen ball joints. Pretty sure original marks stayed on. I may have detailed it in one of my build threads. Been a long time now Edit. Nope didnt record details.fuck my old thread of my b1600 is garbage

You still running left hand thread on the left side? When I put discs on the front of mine I used the opportunity to take the studs out of the old drum being replaced and put them on the rear to have normal threads all round

That looks shit hot. I've got a pair of opening gates I'm gonna replace with a slider. I was gonna weld up a frame from box section . Never even considered building it from timber. Will be interesting to see how it holds up. Are you gonna put some nail plates on the joins?

Think I spotted ya today on maidstone road. Looks cool man. Canopy really sets it off I reckon

Have you had a look at the light strip outside in natural bright light? I have one on my bike and it's pretty dull. I always take it off and use the factory light for a wof

You best be putting a steel chain net on that

Yeah they are programmable. They look like this
