Heard from Evan last night, today I have messaged the seller and tried to call with no responses yet. 

 

 

thanks heaps Shane - Evan has just messaged me now and said Ben is being a painful d*ck about it being looked over so he's going to let this one slide and go look at a terrano in hastings instead. Thanks so much for your offer to help!!!

Things to look out for in a 2000's (or actually pretty much any)Falcon

 

Rust, diff whine, slipping trans, rust, shuddery brakes,fading paint, leaks, falling apart interior, rust etc..

oh believe me, i know its going to be shite. He's asking for a swap for Evans (non running/stalled)cefiro project and $2k his way for this ute. I just want to make sure that the damn thing is not a complete pile of crap/semi worth his asking price... his dad and I will be encouraging a quick tidy up and flick on of it.

Hey there, i could do for you. i'm in rotokauri. 

Where is the 'workshop' ?  what details of the ute do you have to pass on and is there anything specifically you are looking for?

Shane.

Awesome thanks Shane!!! Will get Evan(son) to text you directly about it as he has all the details  Thanks so much!

Hey guys, was anyone else by chance available to have a squizz at this thing? (Absolutely nothing against 64valiant, new babies absolutely trump looking at dodgy utes!)

Not an event sorry but figured this was easiest spot to find the most Hammy people. 

Seeking someone to go look over a ford falcon ute (yeah boring modern car sorry), that eldest is looking at potentially swapping his project cefiro for. Keen to swap petrol $/beersies whatever for your time! Ute is based at the guys workshop in rotokauri.

I don’t think we have ever had more than 3 Hawke’s Bay people at a local meet before,  seems like no one ever wants to exit their caves. 

/let’s do some stuff

I miss taking the escort to meets. Actually i just simply miss having escort on the road. But life and monies have dictated that priorities had to sit elsewhere for some time. 

We are still here. Lurking. One day soon after I'm done incubating our newest oldschooler then we can crack on to getting back out to stuff. We almost have Evan's car road ready too so at least ONE of us in the family will have an oldschool car on the road. Amusing that it will be the car of the one that cannot legally drive yet... 

that's brilliant! Will show to Duddley and tell him to get his weld on!

Yea some companies will drop your agreed value because if they didn't the value would stay the same for years and years, even if the car was losing it's value due to deterioration.

 

Your policy gets renewed every year and they send you a document saying "do you agree to the new sum insured" and if you don't you just ring up and say "hey mate, my car is still good condition and great and is worth just as much as it was last year" and they'll put it back where it was.

This ^^^ is my issue. I'm with AMI, they do AGREED value on their standard insurance and thus it decreases by depreciation amount every year. If I disagree with this (and turns out I do), then I have to get a valuation done to get fixed value for classic/vintage cover through them.

I am after FIXED value and so will be looking at Swann and Classic Cover Insurance as suggested by others on here. 

Thanks for the help guys, onto the next step now!

Apologies if this is already done somewhere else...

I'd like to look at shifting the Escort to a vintage or classic insurance so I can have a fixed value put on it.

But to do this, I have to get a valuation on it.

Who else has had a valuation done on their car and who did you go through to get it?

random question i know. might not end up coming to anything but good to know just in case

so yeah only just saw this. keen for next months one. 

and im sorry we attend so fucking many weddings Al!!! although to be fair we would've missed this one as it was my bday on the saturday and i wanted a damn good sleep-in on the sunday

Yep Steve Po! Lived with us for many years back when I was at high school...still pops in to see us whenever he is up our way. Good bloke

awwwwww keen - our old boarder is now the local postman out there!

http://www.palmside.co.nz/

these guys are pretty good, I've got a few bits for my Mk1 from them. 

Good to see you're still playing around with this thing, keep at it young man, keep at it/open a secret account and start hiding money for engine transplant, don't let Cazz see this post.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaah NOPE. 

I already let him have the car outside of the previous agreement we had made. 

Tolerance level for financial strain only stretches so far.

No new engines until after certain other expenses have been covered.

Just sayin....

could prob delete this thread now if you want KK

They are going to stay with my bro till it's fixed.

All sorted now - tow truck sorted and will be sent to the shazfather. 

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

PERFECT!!! Thanks KK!

Right, so, my parents drove down to welly with their fairly newly acquired 2002 Peugeot 306. Whilst down there, the car suddenly started randomly dying. AA call-out man told them it was the battery, so on Saturday morn they replaced the battery and then jumped on their flight to Chch for the weekend. 

HOWEVER, Dad has just told me that upon trying to start the pug after installing the new battery, there was a bit of a 'bang' followed by smoke coming from the alternator. he suspects the internals have melted.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO...by any chance does anyone have a source for an alternative peugeot alternator? Otherwise we will be needing help to tow it from my brothers place (just up the road from the beehive...probably out to Shaz's dads workshop - (bout to text her now.)

If anyone can offer any help at all -- please contact my lil bro Matt on 021 844 520.

THANKS!!!
