  1. Pure CO2 won't be helping. I use Argoshield Light which is only 5% CO2 specifically to suit thinner material, compared to the 12% CO2 in the regular argon mix.

    PAINT THREAD

    I bought one of these Devilbiss Finishline a few years back, seems OK but I'm no pro painter. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/building-renovation/tools/airtools-compressors/spray-guns/listing/3897247916 At the time it was a lot cheaper to order it from a UK website. For cleaning I just make a mess with thinners and a small brush kit. Worst part of spray painting tbh.
  3. Yeah, the cga overrides their technical warranty. Do you have a backup helmet?
  4. Can you even internet? Seats and seat anchorages - NZTA Vehicle Portal
  5. Yes https://www.nzta.govt.nz/media-releases/waka-kotahi-suspends-authority-of-auckland-wof-inspection-site-owners-urged-to-have-vehicles-rechecked-urgently/
  6. Haha, probably hard to stuff up reporting on a press release. Anyway, under Land Transport Rule Vehicle Standards Compliance 2002 Rule 35001/2002 As at 1 April 2022 They have the ability to do this
  7. Invalid/revoked means cancelled, so what's your question?
  8. I always imagine that the CD's sent to LVVTA just get stored in some vast vault underground
  9. Mixed up the epoxy in 5:1 and brushed some on the joint surfaces first Then added some filler and mixed again. Came out fairly thick, filler ratio isn't very important, just get the consistency you want. Gooped some into the joint And 'clamped' it up. Will see how it looks after 24 hours. I've gone deep on the West System stuff, now everything looks like an epoxy project Epoxyworks - Building, restoration, and repair with epoxy
  10. Sanding and cleanup round two completed. Next step on these is bleaching, I found what I wanted to do that (Rustins wood bleach) but it took me a couple of days to call the importer / distributor in the work hours of 09:00 - 15:30 GMR Imports NZ|Disposable Latex & Nitrile Gloves|Superplus|Rustins In the meantime I've started repairing the split joints in the tailgate. I'm not sure why so many have come apart, I did tweak a bit getting it off the car, but it also seems they weren't bonded very well. I don't want the whole thing to come apart at once so I've had a go at bonding the biggest one first. Cleaned up the joint and removed the old product. Used some clear tape to hopefully stop the epoxy spreading too much. Big gaps are preferred for this approach to give the epoxy some space. A visit to Burnsco for some West System epoxy and filler. The filler thickens the epoxy so it doesn't run out of the joint.
  11. Just post em up here so we can have a squiz / mock their life choices.
  12. A truck crashed into it a few years back, maybe they built back bigger?
  13. Saw one of those bigger wagon models at a second hand shop in Bulls this week. Bloke wanted $45 for it though and was offended when I offered $20. Good street view pic of the place.
  14. Good one, pleased to see you hang on to it.
  15. Cones probably protect the headlight adjustment screws from dirt and gunk thrown up by the wheels.
  16. Oh bummer. Hope it's nothing serious.
  17. Looking very nice @Bling. Cert check is always a nervous time, seems like you have the issues sorted out now.
  18. Nope, accommodation and other reasons. Will be there in March 2023 though.
  19. Probably modern petrol causing trouble. Reminds me of the time I first went to OS Nats and the float valve stuck open in the carpark at Bulls. I think I was with @- i5oogt - and when I opened the bonnet the whole intake V was swimming in petrol. Bit scary.
