nyah-ha! there is absolutely no spark at the plug, that i can see. i earthed it against the engine, which i presume should be a reasonable ground point? 

Yes, that is a good ground.

Can the general public buy concentrated hydrochloric acid? that shit is boss for stripping rust, used it when i was an electroplater.

You can buy Muriatic Acid (another name for hydrochloric) at hardware stores - used for concrete cleaning.

I have that I use for getting rust or zinc plating off steel.

It's nasty though, need gloves and goggles, and don't store it in your garage.

Have to take our son back to school Sunday week. Will have wagon.

maaaayte, keen as a bean. Is the thermal lining attached or is it like a socond layer that sits behind the coloured layer?

Thermal lining. Pm me your address and I'll drop them off

I've got some semi-decent thermal lined blue curtains if you want them.

looking at a c1500 chevy. its been channeled apparently. Is this a major to get thru certification?

Is it a hack job done in the USA?

hey there, just picked up a new car and have a couple of questions,

1) with adjustable suspension is the measurement on the cert plate from the center of the hub to the guard, or from the guard to the ground ? as my cert plate is showing 610mm +/- 5%, so either its from guard to ground or its a cert plate error.

2) if its registered as a 4 seater and you have no rear seats or seat belts will this still pass a wof ?

1. On my cert plate the measurements are from the hub center.

2. Yes, it should. There is a VIRM section on this IIRC.

Reworked the fuel pump setup a bit, added a proper filter. Needed a mount adapter plate. The other pump is a spare  got for $20, after paying a lot more for the shiny one.

I bought a few proper NPT (instead of BSP) fittings in the USA, so I could get rid of some ugly plumbing.

Also used the Permatex #2 on the the fitting threads to prevent leaks - the pump instructions say not to use sealers, but they leak otherwise!

Back under the car. The clip leads were for a pump test run.

Near enuf.

In case you don't remember what it looks like in one piece....

Anyone in Welly able to do this?

Tried it out in the rain yet?

Sold the camper-matic we got from the MIL a few years ago because it always got wet inside, towing, sitting, camping.

After 20 years, anything goes IIRC

What about the Welcome to Nelson sign out at Atawhai?

Or, park on the Cathedral steps

What about the Welcome to Nelson sign out at Atawhai?

Crikey, I would have aced this a couple of weeks ago.

It's only the ultimate pass posers who need to get in on day one isn't it?

So, what's the idea of it's behaviour in a quake - does the house/foundation slide around on the compacted base layer?

put some huge tyres on it for more speed

Asked about the basement 360 today. They are waiting on a new motor. Have one available somewhere apparently.

They also have a Fronte or something under cover up there which will/might be available for sale sometime. I think it may have come from that Wanganui auction.

Terry. Tell me more lol.

It belongs to the owners of Horopito, buried in the back of their basement at their house/lodge.
