im not too sure, was just trying to help people find the right location, i guess we could do the yacht club since the map is up there for people to see... i can remove the wrong map... or i can put the correct one up for the windsurf area if you point me in the right direction.... cheers Karl

dont mind speedbumps.

here is the meeting point... cheerz

there is a place on Birmingham drive who are excellent at tuning cars he has done two cars i know off that both owners are very happy with, i will get the name of the company and their details. cheers Karl

cool, i havent done an oldschool meet for ages, it will be good to put some faces to the names, will be there in the mk2 cortina...

keen for a sunday mini cruise

yup will definately be a pinto

i will come and see you on monday/tuesday next week....

I still have that 2L Cortina 4 Speed in the shed that you can have.

if you are in christchurch at any stage and want a 2L Pinto i have at least 5 of them in the shed and im sure i can sell you one cheap... let me know

very impressive work there Gaz, keep those pics coming.......

Hey all, just a quick note if you have an even slightly modded car dont go to Don McLean Motors in Sockburn my 64 mk1 corty was modded to disk brake front end in 1992, at the same time had wide steelies, side drafts and bucket seats from a mk2 cortina GT put in it, i have had it for 3 years and it has flown thru warrants. this time the stupid f***ing person who did the wof wants proof that the mods were done before 99 (what they were) or Low Volume Certification!!!!!! how the hell am i supposed to prove that the mods were done before 99!!!!! dont have $500+ to do a cert either WTF!!! totally pi%%ed off....

its driving mate but i think i have few guys lined up but thanks for the offer . and as for the 25 + cars i run a car rental company . cheers dan Hi Dan, give me a text on 027-220-7240, will be free from 4pm today if you still need a hand. im out in hornby too... cheers Karl

Hey Mate... I have got a 67 4 Door shell... is an auto shell too so has a bigger tunnel is quite rust free and ripe for a project...

im also in chch.. keen for a meet... just need to get a car going

i used a pipe wrench to get locknuts off a mk5 i wrecked... worked well too...

also something to add to the conversation, if you are "rebodying" another car. (using the plates off another one) etc etc... make sure you find out why it came off the road originally, a friend of mine got some plates off an old cortina and used them on his. the reason the old car came off the road was because it had major cancer in the A pillar. it passed the wof with flying colours. when the office people where processing the paper work it got queried on the previous structural rust.. where is the welders certificate of repair etc etc.. the car that got the new plates had never been rusty there in the first place. and car was a different colour to tags etc etc... so morral of the story is find out why your donor car came off the road originally.. as you may have issues come warrant time... also heard that they are looking at stopping the re-vinning on old cars?? chur Karl

sent you a PM regarding a Proper valuation.... get in touch if you want me to arrange it for you...

hey gaz, sorry to see what happened with your cortina, if you like i can arrange a vaulation from the cortina club, as even at $6k you are short changing yourself.... also if you do end up fixing it yourself get in touch as i have 2x cars im wrecking so i have heaps of bits and pieces. thinking about it i also have access to a 67 4door body shell. its really rust free and may be a good way to fix your car especially if the chassis is bent. cant you also insist that your car be fixed, based on that it is a very rare car and impossible to get another in the same condition with the same specs etc... anyway let me know if you want a valuation sorting.... the same thing happened to a guy down here a few years ago... but we got him a fair settlement from the insurance company... cheers Karl

looking good brendin. will have to come and check that mk1 out sometime... did you still have those 13" wheels off the mk2? keen to do some trading for those

i will get it running first and see what its like, its supposed to be a good one...

yep, just picked up a 67 Super Auto that has one in it...

Hi UJ.... are you still after a 67 mk2 cortina engine? with the numbers 2731 stamped on it? chur Karl

try goose13 on trademe, he doesnt have any listed at the moment but ask him on one of his auctions, think he sells them for $40+Post (for a good used one) worth a shot. if you cant get hold of him i can give you his details.... cheers Karl

Top job there Gaz.... your mk2 looks awesome... im gonna get stuck into my wagon sometime this year
