Replying to this to prove I have at least tried to search. 

Does anybody know where you can get your LPG tanks recertified? I'm looking around Wellington. I rang a couple of gas places in Masterton but they either didn't care or my aussie accent is too strong for them to know what I'm banging on about. 

I take my portable bottles to this place, not sure if they do car ones though

Porirua Cylinder Testing Lab (pctl.co.nz)

Might be a repost, Newtown Wellington, 1991

I actually lived just up there on a side road in those days.

Welding spacers on is OK in my experience. It only becomes an issue if there are welds in the main load path between the caliper and upright.

Been a couple of Pullmax P13 on TM just lately, I didn't see the buy now on the first, but the auction starting price was 4K.

This one just came up, also 4k start, looks a bit neglected but has a bit of tooling

Also this Orchid VGA card. IIRC I bought it used from someone on TheCave BBS

Should have kept an old modem, all that beeping and handshaking noise

The sound of the 5 1/4 drive reading those disks, like a time machine.

Still have this old 5 1/4 clunker. Long time since it was powered up though.

Linking google photos like that only works for a few hours - best to upload them to oldschool.

K11ft (repost maybe)

Wow! Looks great.

Can you add a vent to the filler pipe and pipe that into a loop? 

I would think that you could expect to get fuel coming up the vent from the pump if you use a T-piece, since depending on how well the cap vents the fuel tank might be slightly pressurised.

Put them up on TradeMe in the vintage section am sure they will find a new home.

There is some crazy asking prices in that section of TM.

Would look good towed behind the Chev.

About time these went into the bin I think.

I presume the Singapore cars have english-language systems in them.

I approve of the engine choice there.

They always seem to have pumpkin spice coloured interiors.

Ironically this other one I'm contemplating is NZ New

Nice short bonnet morrie

 

 

Looks at wheels........ Oh no, they've ruined it haven't they. 

 

That's said they have a 114.3 stud pattern (but a huge hub) so maybe not

Not a short bonnet is it? You mean like the Series MM?

I see a lot of Lexus imports are from Singapore, any particular concern with that?

Sounds dreadful.

Bring back station wagons!

We saw quite a few of these roaches in Greece

Pretty old
