  1. ^ i think you can from vintage car parts specialists mine is crap and crumbling, so i had planned on soemthing like that The thought of using black nylon type braided hose had crossed my mind
  2. have since put another coat on/got all the bits i missed was a bit more dust in the shed than i had liked (outside was far better when i painted the rest of it) but whatever, its better than factory

  4. its black now but i wish i had painted it yellow actually, that primer is a close match to what i covered the parcel tray in
  5. I dont have to look at me, so jokes on you
  6. sacrilege Im widening a set of standard rims
  7. i think this would look nice in a cream colour paint
  8. jsut double clutch like you should get used to it real quick
  9. im gona blow some minds here but flat head inline 6 soemthing a bit different, and should get this bucket boogying along perhaps http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/vintage-parts/engines/auction-421659127.htm or i dont know, stick this in it http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/ford/engines/auction-421779795.htm
  10. tack weld a strip of steel over it, itl be sweet or do nothing, its not even half bad
  11. chassis is plugged up, engine bay is in primer, and il half way through scraping the shit off the underside of the front half may be able to start putting bits back on this month
  12. factory solo seats for these look like the old style tractor seats - but sprung leather. Then there is usually a small chrome parcel rack behind that
  13. Some silver backed tar stuff from trademe (theres none on there right now, but comes up in $30 and $100 lots) - stiks itself on, im happy to use it as everything is rust proofed and all the seals are water tight. also have jute type under carpet sound deadening, and just picked up some silver backed fluffy stuff, which will find its way into the firewall and wehrever else i can get it. Im expecting it to be a very comfortable ride (However iv never owned a car with sound deadening or even carpets )
  14. Clang, Boom, Steam rust cut, whiskey drunk, patches cut, whiskey drunk, patches welded, whiskey drunk, shed caught on fire, whiskey drunk, whiskey drunk, bed Think i will drill a wee hold in the middle of where the engine towers mount, so i can inject fishoil or what have you into the front chassis rails
  15. Showed Log the autodec carpets i got were too "fluffy" rather than loop pile
  16. Two updates today, wow So my two sidelights dont match. The passengers side had been replaced with a bodged together unit, which i then broke. I picked this unit up, with stuffed chrome and no lens Its a little larger than the drivers side, but it will pass unless you have a good look Sanded it all back to steel, used a B15 Commer lens and bezel to fit inside the unit bezel. Fitted a new bulb holder (to suit the origin type bulb used even) and gave it a lick of paint (will need another, this killrust green is pretty close to what i have on there, and the truck will end up with a new coat at some point) I enjoy these little projects, makes me feel better about having a minor in complete bits in the shed
  17. yea, two stokes no likey no airbox
  18. Landcrabs a bit big, shed barely contains my minor
  19. Painting it wont cost anything, I can do it in my shed Buying the paint and thinners and sand paper will. That depends on what paint you want. BRG again? did you get the brakes sorted today?
