  1. pictureless update. Figured I would take advantage of the sun and see if I couldn't get the engine to wind over... long story short, I couldn't... seems the starter is complete toast... neato! Why do I feel like this may be a continuing story lol... I should probably bite the bullet and buy a whole engine to be safe but that sorta defeats the purpose... also so few funds :/ Anyone have a starter motor for a 1200cc beetle laying about for cheap?
  2. There are a couple morris minors at Zebra manukau where you would likely find another filter thingo
  3. Right, steering wheel sorted, many thanks Shakotom (and Chikon8) If anyone has a spare horn attachment ring thing laying about I would be supremely grateful for it! Also, finally tracked down the pic I knew I had of my mum's old one of these bad boys.. excuse hurried deletion of my little sister, she has issues with internet having pictures of her I'm fairly certain this is the appropriate colour scheme for mine also... now them wheels... Also holy crap those fender mirrors (actually the door mirrors too) are freakin' rad!
  4. Consider it sold my good man Will be in touch once I track down the rest of the steering system (just in case it comes with one) but consider me super keen... Actually, fuckit, PM incoming
  5. lol, come visit Have no clue on colour at this point but I like the idea of some bronze/poobrown concoction in reality I suck at painting so will probably spray it in whatever colour rustguard works best, and spray it on the lawn also, leave my pleasure pole well enough alone ya weirdo
  6. Oh my yes, I hope he has found those pillar vents now though! Yeah, not a fan of that gold stuff personally... don't mind the wheels tbh but the exhaust tip is rancid lol... the factory steering wheels on these is rad, dunno why you would change it... shame I also don't have one lol. I'm a fan of turd gold... I'm seriously considering a dark bronze sorta colour for this thing when it gets to fill rather than cutting holes... along these lines: I'm Italian... fitting? I don't know lol but yeah the gold on red is a very 90's supercar kinda vibe
  7. Errthing is overpriced to me though #Pauper lol Yeah there are still a few floating around but you don't often see them driving around... especially not up here. Surprised there aren't more tangedowt ones tbh (urgh)
  8. Haha, they weren't super rare but most of them have rusted to death and used in paddocks etc so not toooo many left on the road now. Wheels are very much a temp measure to get it rolling/going plus the idea is to spend as little money as humanly possible on it... buying the wrong bits isn't helping my case much haha. There's actually a couple for sale at the moment which is nice
  9. Well look at that you can see straight through my rear guard
  10. Ahhhh fair enough, just piles of parts then. Fair enough... not sure even I would know what I was looking for in that situation haha
  11. Christ, any Lancer(LA/LB)/Colt/GTO stuff? After The biggest of feet of course lol
  12. ummmmmm, no clue, I should probably measure them haha, My guess would be 8" rim but could be 10
  13. Super minor update, some cutty cutty bendy weldy will likely happen next weekend, in the meantime I got some replacement wheels to replace the rusted out hulks that were on there... they even fit/work. Miracles
  14. Bloody hell, long time no update on this. Still not really an update but at least I touched it today. Did the rounds of the parts places looking for some bits and bobs I need to at least get the silly thing rolling. Only thing I found was a steering assembly/rack thing out of the EX out at Zebra... and it is the right length... unfortunately the actual setup is wrong, so that's a bit dumb. Anyone looking for an EX rack/arms? lol Can't really see much in the pic but trust me haha: So with that small annoyance I figured I would see about a few rust bubbles... So I hit them with a flapper disc... then a cutting disc, some bloody awesome mesh insert repairs in this beast. No pics but I have cut it all back and cut some patches, will order some mig wire and see about fitting them in place in the next little while/6 months Still, considerably less bad than it could have been, one biggish area and a few small ones... on that side anyway haha... Oh well, an update is an update... even has pics!
  15. I'm out of likes but goddamn nice skills dude, wish I had the patience/ability for this kind of stuff. It's all magic to me tbh
  16. Soon... maybe even this weekend soon...
  17. These are gonna be nicely wide enough for the rear, hooray! Fronts are sweet/not falling apart so that should do for now
  18. you need them I'm certain. just buy them go on, you know you want to In project related news, I just bought these also not wide enough but the right price/so bright! haha Such yellow, much bright, wow
  19. They're only 6"s so a bit narrow for me. All yours if you need them
  20. didn't even read that lol, waiting on widths... if they are ok I'm happy to go halves
  21. "Bug" the only search term I HADN'T entered lol. Might make a silly offer
