That seat would be very 1980's Japanese Bozo. i for one fully support that

can you close the doors up an lock them (over the standard house door)? lush security feature, weld em up if you go overseas/get locked in by someone

Will be the only thing holding the engine together no doubt These have to be the epitome of top down summer cruising

if you can put a 4age in these, why wernt they all scrapped to rob the transmission for quad spinner AE86's and starlets this thing also needs a rear wraparound airdeflector

yea, its pretty nice. same colour as my morrie. Twin peoples cars. should scrap the morrie and just have the vw tbh. Anyway, if the 230km drive from hamilton to opotiki doesnt scare my old man off, it sounds like hes going to take it. Must be getting old, just having one old car is enough for me now edit: also, christ my left arm hurts, need to bulk up to drive this daily again

Is that your crown cAm? nah, prefer cash money, also got offered a nice 66 beetle, but should turn it down and have only 1 car. In anycase my old man is fizzing over this, so will probably offer it to him first/buy it back in 2 years

Flew through its WOF really. put 3 months rego on too. only $33 for 3 months. Cruises very nicely, even passed some heavily loaded freighters going up TeRapa

Sounds like you should just pick up the rear suspension from a morris minor

Best driveway design out. Go for a lovely Kōwhai yellow on the frames. Your house is already weird

do some heli's down the strand I look forward to seeing this thing jacked, on huge mudgrips/town&countries Bullbars with winch and blowing smoke

That green looks very similar to the kind i put on my truck looks good, matches the dirt road/bush

7 pages and all thats happened is its been cleaned, Should put some massive wide steelies on it

Took into VTNZ for a WOF today Failed But oh my, its the easiest WOF sheet iv ever had Align Headlamps Dip switch to work YYYEAAAHHHHA! Legal commer action coming to your roads probably tomorrow if its not pissing down tonight so i can align em

Local blacksmith would do it (if any exist still, apparently the amish are great at it) Failing that a spring shop, or even better pull some out of a wrecker car. i would imagine you could build your own springpack to whatever you like if you get enough especially as this project wasnt going on the road was it, more of a rolling installation

Got this thing driving smooth as. Hums along in all gears (i.e. humming, not violently shaking as one might expect) Steering is tight as, needs some air in the tyres as i got a hell of a workout just now. CBF laying under this in the rain and welding the exhaust, so il probably stop at an exhaust shop if it fails wof on that.

Its all theoretical of course cant even take it on a track as i have no restraints. Will be content to chase down morrie thou's and other slow old cars

Got my cylinder head in the shop right now. Should come back minus 0.060", taking compression from 6.5 to circa 7.5 (the old alloy race heads they used to make were produced as 8:1, and recommended that they were machined out to suit your valves and lower comp) The old ads claim a 10% power increase (in the 50's you didnt have to back that up however) So original 27.5hp Shaved Head 30.25hp Going from single to twin carbs and exhaust is estimated to be another 10% on top of that 33hp baby extra rpm is gained too With everything combined i should be expecting a new top speed pushing 80mph and heavily increased acceleration

Do they include Grey poupon?

Is there power coming out of the Ign switch. Probably going to be a case of working backwards through the system (i had a fun one the other day, ign lamp would only come on when the ign was switched off haha)

ha, the number plate is ftp. Is there a minimum height for a motorcycle?

oh man, flashbacks to being 16

Stone the crows have done some work on this today. Remedied some dodgy vibrations in the drivetrain - front driveshaft bolts had backed themselves out. Played around with the steering, adjusted the drag rod ends slightly. Made some shims up for the steering box. Seems to have helped noticibly (only 2 inches of play in the steeringwheel, rather than the normal 5. I doubt factory would have been much better due to the design). Exhaust has a failed weld (and a few dents which i bet are the cause), so will tidy that up tomorrow. Oh, and i sorted out some electrics which i forgot to hook back up a while ago. haha, and here i am cursing the dammed fuel gauge for working when it wants Other than that exhaust, its all go for WOF this week. Makes sense the only time its road legal during my ownership is when i sell

put me down for attending this month

want to take one of my horribly slow vehicles to these. street legal, but no seatbelts probably doesnt fly

wont matter once i bung a blower on it anyway have about 4.5mm valve clearance on a std cam (pretty sure il run into water jacket issues at that point), The area above the valves can of course be milled too.
