Nominal

I've used 8mm plate picking up 3 out of 4 bolts with a couple of spacers tig-welded on to get the caliper centered on this disc. Not certed yet, but I expect it will be fine.

Engine swap suggestions here?

Ass-end reassembled. Comparison - less patina now, but a lot less rust too. Currently working on fixing/repairing the torn headliner at the rear. Gluing some material behind the tears. Check out the fancy rear seat mounts. They parallelogram forwards to the seatbase goes up hard against the front seat (when it is slid right forward). Some quality British design right there. Then the upper squab of the seat back flips forward to give a comfortable bed-sized space. Luxury!

That's a heavy vehicle form. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/entry-certification/reference-materials/sample-heavy-vehicle-specialist-certificate-lt400

Is it a heavy vehicle? If not then it looks like it works the same as for a WOF https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/suplementary_information/LVVTA_LVV_Cert_Threshold.pdf

You assume it has a motor right now.... I can't face a 160km round trip through Wellington, even for no beersies with beaver. And I have a wagon roof lining to glue back together.

I'm going to stay home and enjoy the sun up here - have fun.

Old man lexus time then?

Yes, they keep mentioning Hyundai whatever too.

Nice work. Good that it's poseable as well!

Just one side I think? Pic from stuff, I haven't been in. I'm a contractor at TP.

Floor does not have mirror tints

Got Glass? It's all back in. I have sore fingers. Not keen to do it again in a hurry.

Did you not try to go up to get a pic of that bridge at Nats? It's a long walk up there now, I don't know that anyone made it.

That would be Wellington Anniversary weekend, so Monday is a holiday. I'm keen, other plans notwithstanding.

Not as such, no.

Let's just say a lot of water was involved.

Will see how the week goes, working from probably all week due to a burst water dam.

Should be, they go in the brake line

Thanks for the advice. The superglue worked fine. We managed to get the windscreen and one side window in on Sunday.

Pretty lardy. Was that with you in it? The Mercury is right on 2 tonne across the weigh bridge at the Otaki tip.

First attempt at reinstalling side glass didn't go well. I cleaned up the spares I got with the car (I suspect they came off the green one that was in pictures around here somewhere) as mine were pitted from too many grinding sessions. Got the seal cut and installed on the glass with the trim OK. When installed on the car though, it wouldn't f*&^ing fit in the hole correctly. Eventually I took it out again. It turns out that it is a slightly different shape on the gentle curve on the upper side. I guess they had a range of glass at the factory and picked ones that would fit the hole correctly. I ended up screwing up the pain around the window while cleaning up, so had to respray that bit too. Also, the windscreen seal I ordered from the UK turned out to be the wrong profile, and wouldn't work with the SS trim. So, I now have a length of the correct profile seal, and some new pieces of laminated glass for the rear. Hopefully they will work with the seal, despite being a bit thicker. I also did some more sanding on the roof. All it lacks is finishing up! Went for a blat up the road with no windscreen. A bit breezy but a nice clear view.

Going to have a go at installing a windscreen in the wagon on Sunday. Q for the pro's @AALAWS @RB30VB I can only get a seal in a length, not molded. Should the ends be glued with anything or just a bit of windscreen sealer. Where's the best place for the join? I was going to go for off-centre at the top (as there is a joining piece in the centre of the trim so it's not as well locked in by the (wide) SS trim there. For the back glass I've had some new pieces cut from laminated glass. This is a bit thicker than the toughened glass that was there. The seals are new, do you think they'll work out OK?

Nice. What are you using for the solvent?
