The plating man wouldn't do the fuel tank as-is as tanks don't plate well. So, I cut the top out of it and dropped it off this week. I'll have to weld it back together which will damage some of the plating, but should be an improvement overall. I also welded plate over the bottom of the pump mounting threads - one less place that has to be sealed. Found this old pic of one of the diff donors. The dude I bought it off drove it up from Waikanae like this, holes and all. Might have been dark. I thrashed it around the paddock a bit, but it was easy to get stuck, and caught on fire once (too much easy-start) so I eventually pulled the rear axle and scrapped the remains.

Cut some new metal. Also need two new reinforcing rings that mount the headlight. Rust city. Scratch up some 3mm plate Cutting this stuff is a bit of a workout for the Nibbler, but it is quicker/cleaner than using a grinder with cutting wheel, especially for curved bits. Need to be hammered flat then welded into rings.

Get 'cher wagon out and play with it!

The flattened tubes probably aren't hurting too much.

Maybe - depends on whether your cert man reads oldschool I have kept with the rocker switch as it's easy to use in most circumstances (sometimes hard to see the light-up colours due to where I have it mounted). Generally I want to be either low, ride, or high. Sometimes the front/back adjustment is handy, but I had never used the corner settings until a couple of weeks ago for a laugh.

See second pic

It's the green/red rocker switch.

I have accuair, but with the single switch controller so there is no obvious single corner control. The rules are pretty clear though, and he is following them.

Nah, there's heaps available at a price.

Depends what you want to see. Friday is a bit more open out at Onemana. Saturday is the big day in town with heaps of people. Sunday has a market with less cars around. If I was just visiting I'd probably do Friday or Saturday afternoon, then stay until the evening and watch the bands (on the street) and cruising.

OK, so who is coming to watch us win the 34 Ford prize? We'll be arriving Wednesday and staying until Monday this year to avoid the Sunday rush home/falling asleep on the Desert Rd. New pad in The Square down the port end of town.

Sunny taihape.

Packed and stacked.

Because More Power Mouse I guess.

Eventually I suppose.

Totally worth it. There is a few shops on the south end of Levin that I haven't looked in lately.

So shiny!

This place in Foxton is pretty good http://www.myantiqueshops.co.nz/goldies_junk_n_disorderly.html

Good luck! I even called into the LVVTA office and had a chat, still didn't arrive until after BH. Son pic is cute - my son is 16 now and has just passed his learners. Was 3 when we bought the Mercury.

Should move along nicely now. Last year I found that this is a very busy time for the certification people and the LVVTA office, as heaps of people want cert before beach hop.

Suh-weet

Good effort on getting it done in a short time!

Zat would be ideal. If I know the time I wait at Rod Cliftons in Te Horo

OK, looks like I have everything set up to go on Thursday now

New rad should be sufficient with the stock fan/plumbing setup shouldn't it? If it was mine I'd try it like that first - make sure the fan is attached the correct way around.
