  1. Thats a cool shot on the beach there Rusti. pretty amazed that you would put the wrong hood on your 2022 dodgy wofed electric car tho WHO WOULD DRIVE THAT
  2. Yes. Still considered a flatdeck if it's a beaver tail too
  3. Yes within the last year they either changed it or started cracking down on it as all the trucks at work had them installed within a week
  4. Literally never seen anyone use park lights as park lights tho
  5. NZ road code A motor vehicle must not be parked on the road during the hours of darkness unless it is clearly visible to other road users. This means it should be lit by street lights, or you should turn on the tail lights and the side light nearest the centre of the road on the front of the vehicle. A light, flat-decked vehicle that is parked on the street at night must display a rear red light that: is on the side of the vehicle closest to the centre of the road is visible at a distance of 100 metres.
  6. Fully loaded, 2 up. What could go wrong God speed little doodle
  7. Had some pipe left over (it's also splashed in pigs blood from homekill, so it's a pleasure to weld yum yum) A decent little length, looked about BBQ height, so I scrounged up all the rusty scraps that were too good to throw out, and made this rocket stove. Should have cleaned it up better and not welded outside in the wind. But a tidy up and some Potbelly paint should tart it up. Once I've cranked some temperature in it to burn off the galv as I don't want zinc in my food. lower bit is solely for air intake. Might fandangle something up to control it for simmering. Although fuel is probably the best way to control temp.
  8. Occasionally see used malpassi siding rate pressure regulators for carbs come up on TradeMe for not much. They are about 200ish to buy new. Maybe cheaper on ebay
  9. Knocked up a knock box for coffee grounds Scraps of steel pipe, plywood, leather and washing line
  10. At least it was easy to push?
  11. Here's a guy who DIY'd his DR with a microsquirt https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/385464-winter-project/#comments
  12. I looked into that for GN. There's some not so cheap small engine kits online. https://www.ebay.com/itm/FAI-motorcycle-scooter-buggy-moped-UAV-EFI-engine-Electronic-Fuel-Injection-kit/273178456487?epid=15030398723&hash=item3f9ab471a7:g:hkIAAOSwqHBa4KTu Or get a wrecked f.i. scooter and go from there
  13. This guy does control boards for getting rid of the canbus gubbins from leafs https://pandspowerelectronics.ecwid.com/
  14. Take the whole loom and replace everything with mx5 stuff? Gotta be like 12 wires in a hunter tho eh Have stripped a few looms down for my Buick in mitsi and it was easy enough (original conversion was yuck) I found it good to remove the loom myself so I could label everything as the wiring diagrams were not great and lots of wires were glossed over or different, can figure it out through elimination tho. I'd imagine you would get either a whole car or front cut?
  15. You should be able to pump out the sides of the wellside wheel well pretty easy, where the wheel tub meets the side is only cheesed on. And it's only single wall Some widebody/boxflare sort of set up could be the go
  16. Do love a rusty L200 Cheap parts on rockauto, sold as dodge d50's there
  17. All my NZ new re-registered stuff has been given a vin (obs never having one in the 40, 50, 60s)
  18. Look forward to seeing some wheelies
  19. I have a new 50L compressor tank. Was going to do similar to increase my capacity. Come pick it up in your next trip
