awesome man!

there's been a few wagon rooves on trademe lately.

landys aren't centre either. they're slightly forward of centre at rest, though, rather than backward. slam some 15s on it and get some old skinny 4wd tyres for it for more authentic win

looks bloody good man~

you dont need reverse ligths on trailers so you'll be sweet

why not roll two reverse? or more of a spotlamp for a reverse lamp tucked a little under the tray? I have a couple of different LED options that I have some spare of if you're keen.

I think I found them on supercheaps website. Doesn't look like the red ones have a stop lamp function, just tail??

whipped the engine out just now so much rust falling off in the process. I swept underneath three times already hah. plan now is get engine degreased, onto the engine stand and whip head off and give it to ol' mate g-man for a tickle up bit flasher camshaft check bigend and main bearings few other new bits and pieces then slot it into my 109 with a new clutch. cheeee

nice nice!

what's she look like underneath? much of a chassis or is it old landrover underpinnings?

these http://hella.com.au/cgi-bin/catalogue-hkg.pl?flcmd=preview&flmaint=1150 83mm round. there's a number for amber ones for indicators so i can see if I can get a pair of those too

^ che. i need two clear for front, two amber for front, two amber rear and two red rears. tbh if he's keen to put heaps of crap in an order i may order more hahah

led lamps are win but pretty dear for decent quality and decent looking ones. I'm pretty keen to get some new lamps for my landy from rimmer bros. if you're keen to get some you can jump on board with my order i need a full set for mine (mine has a mixture of fucked hella bodge options) http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-RTC5523P i also have some brand new hella ones that may suit at work. prolly $50 for two tail and two indicators http://hella.com.au/cgi-bin/catalogue-hkg.pl?flcmd=preview&flmaint=1150

Can't lose at twenty beans!

Shiiieeeeeeeeeeeettttttt This is awesome

Put some water in the tank to help keep it cool

Che!

Where'd you smack those bags? Rock auto? How do you find them by dimension??

so good man love your vans!!!

the fear when they realise they're low on booze.

I'd more likely put it down to simplicity there's something to be said for points and carbs! not much to go wrong.

next time eh! I liked apiti bar and grill on facebook. the owners of the place (weirdos that used to run it, then shut it down for a while then let the current people lease it) suddenly reneged on renewing thier lease! so no more apiti pub again. why would someone not renew the lease on a place that's hummin' along? kill the small town etc. retards.

yeah you can get new chassis (galv too) sounds like you're the man to take this thing on eh?

had a fettle with series one tonight.. filled it with water. jumper leads on 20+ year old battery. picked up the piece of firewall that's fallen down that contains ignition switch and gauges (wasn't expecting much) turned key on and push starter button. turr rurrr rurrrr. let it wind over a bit to splash oil round. no spark. points grubby and dead coil. sorted that. big hole in fuel tank (rust) so just squirted a whole lot of crc down the carb, then brake cleaner in the float chamber breather tube thing. turr rurr rurrr vrrommm!!! runs pretty good. started on 5cyl then promptly picked up number six. only a small puff of smoke from the crc i reckon. mean. seems to run a lot quieter than the engine in my good one. whipped three plugs out once it'd run a few minutes and did a compression check. 165-170 on all three. I'm happy with that. while it's out of this thing coz it's easy: - whip the head off and get ol' mate jim to give it a lick with the die grinder. -smash a bit nicer cam at it to give a little more pep and new lifters -play with the dizzy -metal timing gears if not already fitted (this engine was rebuilt and only had a few thousand miles on it apparently so maybe it already has them. was quite whiney up front compared to others) -check bigends and oil pump. -chuck a new water pump etc on and give it a pretty basic tidy up. pretty hilarious. the gearbox crossmember pretty much broke away completely from the chassis while all this was going on. i'm pretty much not gonna try cut a lap round the block in this one haha.

china 125 so you have a clutch with left hand plz you'll get used to foot brake pretty quick/use it bugger all anyway prolly. i need another scoot. i'll be the beaner on a vespa again someday
