  1. Could always do a @kyteler and keep it as artwork. Wouldn't take up much space.
  2. Tanks can't be electroplated inside very easily as the process doesn't really work without a direct flow between the anode (which would have to be inside the tank) and cathode (the tank itself). When I let my fabricated tank get rusty I had to cut the top off again to get it plated and even then the coverage wasn't great inside the tank (inside corners didn't get much zinc).
  3. Surely only a Z foamer would notice that. That Oxford wagon had was tagges as a saloon in the NZTA system and that was never an issue for WOF's.
  4. Nice going eh. I suppose the one that was at Marshlands is long gone.
  5. Thought of you when I watched this the other day.
  6. Any mechanic worth paying should be able to sort it out in less than an hour.
  7. Did the mechanic do a compression test?
  8. I don't really get the point in bolting in something like that. You have to cut the chassis apart anyway, so it can hardly be put back to stock.
  9. Looks awesome. Did you get a lot of attention at the show?
  10. Happily welded the Mercury grille together (ss tubing and ms brackets) with my MIG. In industry it would be about weld performance and contamination issues. Use the right machine, wire, gas etc and it should be no issue. https://www.millerwelds.com/resources/article-library/welding-stainless-steel-tube-and-pipe-maintaining-corrosion-resistance-and-increasing-productivity
  11. BH 2020 another pic from FB
  12. Not going to make it this month, too much on the go.
  13. I made my own, just scaled to the size of the tubing specified in the manuals and welded up.
  14. The steel will still bend I guess? When mine got to that state I airbagged the car
  15. So long as there is clearance to the bump stops and the shackles still have pivot room it should still 'suspend' OK.
  16. For fun I scanned a donut on a new build at the BH using an NFC app on my phone. Came up with a link which worked at the time to show all the photos, but the link did stop working a few hours later.
  17. Just don't crash.
  18. Currently in Waihi Beach, Whangamata tomorrow.
  19. Rollercoaster of emotions on the glass install! Installing glass sucks btw.
  20. Is that the one from Waikanae?
  21. Found some Lister deez barries on a UK canal boat forum. Fuel rack isn't moving in one of the pumps. Will have to spend some money I think.
