  1. Ha, turns out I was on the opposite side of the harbour. Tried to get away today, but mate, those numbers will need digging soon. But that bin is no good there, go get the tractor and shift it to the implement shed, now there's a gap there gotta build a new bench, chop up some oil drums, don't use that good wood, cut the rotten bits of this one, it was here back in 82 when I bought the place. While you're here climb up there and check those bulbs
  2. Exciting side valve things Just picked up some more tuning parts
  3. Oh boy Things are happening Good things
  4. Was a few f heads and ohv conversions made for these The engine is just a copy of the 100e but with proper bearings and smaller valves Wonder if Ive delt with that bloke. One guy got upset I didntt spend all my money and build an engine like his, and now won't sell me anything
  5. Cheap enough to get them done while it's apart. That said IV never actually seen a seat recess apart from some tagged out example ones
  6. Mmmmmayte where is it? Il minor over. Someone else can take the commercial but it's no wof and covered in shit like a true East coast car
  7. I also found that the float has split. So il clhave to take it back out and solder it up anyways. The sender looked like it was a little warped too. Maybe a new one I guess
  8. Not a major to drill out the head and press in some brass stem seals. Cast iron if you think you are a racecar owner. Then use whatever valves cut to length you want. IV got to do this myself
  9. Fixed it all, filled up with gas and went in and failed again Sender gasket had dried out and was pissing out So I drained the tank and passed. Puhuhu
  10. Fail wof on Front tyres (Dunlop air ride crossplys or some such) too deteriorated One wiper is loose and not moving Bonnet hinge loose Seat bolt loose Bloke couldn't adjust the seat so il explain it Brakes are no good Fuel leak at the pump
  11. those were truely the golden years of doing laps
  12. so what i am seeing is that 1. you can put some massive slugs in that engine 2. you should braze some tube and flange into the intakes and run multiple carbs off them
  13. some chevette rear lights will do it but you are a brit, so im imagining some kind of east end chop shop, tripple headlamp conversion
  14. Il look for the news headline Local man kidnaps, tattoos, and skins woman stainless or brass mesh will be fine over that hole, and might look good. Drill and cut out the front brake housing too and put some in there as well. I did that to one of my old Hondas. Pluss I'm sure you have some of that laying around, its commonly found in pipes and "flower vases"
  15. chevettes sills behind front guards batterytray/firewall tops of guards around A pillar and i seem to recall the boot seal lip and around the gas tanks not being great
  16. cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear mayte we used a copper sulphate solution for tanning the soft skins
  17. Massive horn speaker Tick it up Lush previa
  18. North, south, east, and west. I do it all baby This is made from part of an old house in Te Awamutu. Must be native, the sides are rather hard. The rest I ripped down from beams using a circular saw
