  1. Hi Alex I used MSPaint to combine the hillman badge, and the honda text to make a sticker You might like to put it on your toolbox
  2. do you just have a mechanical pump? a small electric pump with a 5 second relay when ign on would probably help mask the issue
  3. I liked the guy saying you cant drive in the rain because it will overheat
  4. yeah, probably wont workout, but hes available till 4 today if you just happen to be home shitposting
  5. How does this compare to a k11?
  6. Yeah getting a car with a wof for 2k in Auckland is pretty rare now, I go further afield for my shitboxes, infact I saw someone asking where are all thr $2000 cars gone just yesterday, so I think it'll move if it's not rooted He's in rototuna
  7. Most practical thing is to leave the paint as it is then, don't waste any time on it
  8. Guy wants to swap his 2001 commodore for one of my bikes. I figure I can sell a cheap car faster than a bike over winter at least Has what's probably a swing ding in the back quarter, but if someone could give it a quick check to see if it's rooted and mood it's last moo that would be great. I guess mainly that the trans shifts normally and isn't full of burnt fluid, it has a 2 day old wof, so presumably it's not terrible. Maybe check that the dented aide hasn't shunted the door frame or wheel Basically if it's something that I can turn around and sell for $2-2.5k I'm pretty happy, it's a 2001 v6 commodore, my expectations are pretty level on this one Hoping to get it checked before the weekend

  10. M8 it's 2 A series, put together and a cylinder chopped off. Just listen to the valve clatter, I'd know that anywhere
  11. Did you get this off 00quatro00?
  12. I'm gona guess a bit of valve guide, or one of those collets you shot across the room
  13. Give the imp a few 9000rpm runs and you can be just like Dave! (Factory imp engine will do 10500 rpm all day)
  14. black will just swallow up the details and look like you are on steelies
  15. $10 enamel thermette in papakura salvation army store
  16. That misses the joke of opening the frunk and showing th3 barries that you took their advice and put a few bags of concrete in there What do you mean not mix and pour it in?
  17. A tin of BBQ black and a paint roller gives a nice hammer texture
  18. ban
  19. Years ago I had an exhaust flange cut by reautomotive. I think it was water jet, but accurate enough for an exhaust. Have a look through the services section on trademe, there was a few places catering for smaller or one off jobs
  20. Have a few scraps of rimu from my kitchen bench, too good to throw out, so better use them up
  21. I believe they do, I recall it coming up on the commodore forum
  22. Lol Early ones are metal, I think mine are. Might get some after market usa ones
  23. And I think this will make a great little work station I might change the slider hinges on the sides there, because they are just begging for little parts to Ping off and go down the holes. The cubbys are great to put all the commonly needed tools, I will make a little screwdriver rack and it will be perfect. Digging around in a drawer is a good time sink. Maybe some lighting and a power point for the microscope. Ideally the drawers would be shallower and more of, but it's pretty similar set up to what I have seen other guys using, you can buy very expensive watch maker work benches that aren't much better. Will make some drawer dividers for the parts I have. I have like 1000 packets of nos watch glass/crystals, and they are all in a box, in order by size would be very nice
  24. I have been wanting to get an old writing desk for probably 15 years, I just think they are neat. Hide a computer work station or whatever in one and have it all tucked away. Anyway, sometimes they come up quite cheap. So I got this one It's a little rough, but will come up fine with a small amount of work
