had an unrelenting Z guy laugh at me when i warned him the wag spews gas on your pants if you hit it full throttle. damn near filled his shoes up by the time he knew what was happening, poor chap.
My Holden's the same. Can only fill on dribble rate. I guess pumps have got more flow in the last 40 years.

Put appropriate weight on a ratchet. Remember to account for the weight of the handle itself it you want max accuracy.
Or use a light scale and pull horizontal.

Don't go to Oregon, it's again the law to fill your own tank there.

Drove past The Surgery last week.
Fresh import by the look of the sticker.

Sill repair panel is done.
To get the curve I used a couple of strips of inner tube on the upper wheel of my english wheel (home made a few years ago).
This lets the metal curve over the lower anvil without stretching it so you get an arc in the panel rather than a compound curve.
It's not perfect because my lower anvils have a flat piece in the centre (which you need for normal wheeling) but the linear marks are pretty light / should sand out I think.
I welded some tabs to the remaining parts of the sill so I could clamp the new bit in with clecos.
Also made the inner sill closing panel up, but its a bit ugly so no pics. It won't be seen once it's all together.
Have picked up the front panel from Metal Immersions but it hasn't made it out of the Nissan's boot yet.
Next is to make a new piece for the bottom of the guard. I could probably weld the old bits back in, but I had to make two cuts (didn't cut far enough up the first time) so it's probably better to renew it all.
Have a paint issue I'll ask about elsewhere.

I see that the NZ Car Construction Manual is now available online (new name too)
By chapter too, if you are so inclined.

The under floor structure has new metal now.
Including the inner vertical parts of the sill.
Next is the outer part of the sill, including a curvy bit that goes under the front guard, and the lower bit of the guard itself.
There were replacement sills in the spares pile, but I'll just make new parts for now.
Looked a bit more closely at the drivers side, and I think it needs a similar operation, along with a bit of the floorpan done too.

Followed this home for a while near Levin.
Those boot-mounted spares are seriously ugly. Was a bit smokey from one pipe though. Probably the wrong tobacco.

So I got these old trucking books out there are some sweet old trucks in them. There was even this awesome Mack sticker in one.

I think you could fit that into a carry on bag?

If only the poms had invented an engine where the valves were up top and easy to adjust.

Nice!
We need more quality British cars around here.
