A place to not tell me off for spending too much money on another car . Hopefully a sweet looking ute will calm a very unimpressed wife.
-
The rust was removed from around the wiper panel, and as expected, there was far more than you could see. Then with the rear glass out a small amount of rust was starting in the frame, so that was fixed, a previous impact on the front edge of the bonnet needed looking at and then and then and then, you get it. Beckys planed small tidy up has hit a bump (me) and has snowballed . woops. But in good news, the wellside will have a new floor and the ute will be ten times tidier than before, and that sweet racing stripe will be gone.
-
Beckys plan was/is to just tidy it up fix the rust, get a wof and enjoy. I um got a wee bit side tracked as I do, and dropped it off to a mate to do the "small" repairs needed for a wof. but without Becky there we got a bit excited .

So June last year, on another ute pick up mission, Becky spotted a wee b1600 sitting sad and unloved in the back yard of a Timaru workshop. It looked solid enough with only a small amount of rust in the wiper panel, but the floor of the wellside was long gone, but the rego was on hold, and was in overall tidy condition. Where it was sitting for 10 years

No being a dick at all. I'd go for the holden one over trying to fit the ford one if I was you. They are bloody solid, so if it didn't fit right it would be a shit to tweek or modify . I'm sure the os gc courier service should be able to sort out the pick up problem with the one on trademe. Or, you could sell the holden and get yourself the much more superior au falcon wagon, and then I could supply the correct fitting barrier . but of course, finding someone willing to sell their au wagon would be harder than finding the holden barrier. what a conundrum
-
barrier is 850mm high 1330mm at the widest part 1100mm across at the bottom 900mm across at the top brackets.

Will get measurements this afternoon. Please hold caller.
-
My father has a cargo barrier out of an AU wagon sitting in the shed, that he wants sold. Don't know if it will fit, but happy to measure if you want.

You sound like all my mates. One day. One day.

A little bit . Unbolted the garage door and rolled it out to wash the last 2years dust off it about 2 weeks ago. I got the under dash tray repaired and relined a few months ago. Just super busy with work this year, but the boss just paid me out for my unused holidays from this year, I had 3 days off, so I might treat myself to an exhaust . But on the bright side, I've pulled the wifes b1600 apart and dropped it off at my mates panel shop. So thats another running car I've pulled to bits ☺
-
Cheers for that. Will sort the screen rust and try for a wof.
-
Rust question . Have the b1600 ready to start rust repairs, need to do the wiper cowl under the windscreen. Wellside is mint, but the tray is rusty, holes and gaps.All the mounting points are sweet, it's just the floor, do I need to sort that before going for a wof ? or do they class that as not a structural part ? Is no different to when you take the tough deck out of a modern falcon ute. Will sort it one day, just want to get a wof and start using it .

Was sold new in Blenheim . The wee fergie 35 is a blast, was topping paddocks all Sunday on it, always goes like a champ, think I might have shit the gearbox in the slasher though, not sounding so flash anymore.
-
Is a great wee ute. Just spent the morning rarking round the paddocks in it. Going from bonfire to bonfire, it can carry a hell of a load on the tray too. Love the little bugger
-
So this happened . Trade me + beer = another L200. Reg , Wof , and a buggered engine .
-
Nice FD. best shape car ever. will be remembered like the e type jag. Your rev/speed meter can also be used to remove the 180kmh speed cut.
-
Ha, man you pinned on that for a bloody long time.
-
Oh man, your 5 days late. Me and a couple of mates went for a drive there on Sunday . Felt like driving on a private road on the way there. place is like a ghost town since the quakes, so I'd so your scooters will be safe.

Hey Mayson, you still got the lhd wiper motor ? Was just in the process of trying to reverse mine.

wildcat_lgf's 1978 Fiat X1/9 - Discussion
WLDRX2 replied to wildcat_lgf's topic in Project Discussion
Love the x19's. Mate has a lhd one, was his first car, such a fun little car. Still sitting in his storage shed. might have to get him to get it out, relive the old days. -
Had to dig to find that. $668.25 in 2008 so not too bad. RX4 dash is a lot more work I would think.
-
I used dashboard restorations . Perfect job. Looks factory. Even redid it for free after the courier snapped it. Wasn't cheap, even for a simple rx2 dash , but I had previously had one retrimed in leather and it looked very average. I'm sure a rx4 dash wouldn't be cheap , but they are the best looking dashboard ever.

Planning on it. Could make a good chch oldschool meet. -
Don't listen to him Mase. All the cool rx2's have simmons. Such an under rated wheel.
