got the steering column semi mounted too talk about a mint fit its exactly the right length

Not much of an update been working on the Pontiac more of late fitting new 3spd trans & floor shifter etc . But i did strip the paint off the mooneyes discs i scored & started stripping the roof

gunna get back into it more next

Whats the legalities of doing this? Does it just get reg'd as a homebuilt trailer? Am contemplating making one as well

Yep $97 to reg a new {homebuilt}trailer that includes 6 months reg then you just need to get a wof

easy as bro

I've convinced a few others to show again, I'll be there in the wag, sedan not complete yet

bet Barts happy about that mate. The sedan not being complete that is..

Mate I deal with freight co's everyday I could move it to Auckland for you for $500 but it would be at your risk. Id pay the $800 on Jeffs they cart cars all day long & no how to handle them..

New pics done for Karl[ i5oogt ] of his Mk2

i don't mind MTNZ my ego just isn't big enough

to compete with some of the spoonheads there,

my truck is still a ute its for carting my dirtbike and tieing my dog to,

towing shit and loading up with rubbish

Notch the bum bro & static it 4 inch blocks all you will have to do is add links to the diff {like a four link} but leave the leaves in it.

AS for the front as long as you have a 100mm chassis from road & 40mm clearence from a-arm to bump stop your sweet my suggestion would be get some drop spindles off ebay or from the dropshop . Bags are overrated & i know of many cats that have had huge issues with reliability & getting wofs even with cert running bags...

righto stripped my th350 thismorning to find rooted clutches in the direct clutch Im happy cos at least there was something fucken wrong with it .. Not to bad to strip down cost me $130 for a full overhaul kit ex US {I already had this }

& im guessign about 6 hours laboru to assemble it.. Fucked if I can see how the trans shops wanted a cool $1100 to fit my supplied kit .

Not to many bit in bobs in one of these babys

You can see the linings are gone completly look like a brake disc after its been running with worn pads

I scored another trans that I 100% know is ok so gunna run with it for now & rebuild this one over time shiftkit it etc

hmmmm damn would guess the bands would either need adjustment or the clutches are toast.

does it launch hard in first?

yep fries tyres first & well into 2nd but 3rd just goes weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

have you checked the linkage isn't fouling and preventing it from selecting 3rd?

yeah mate it selects 3rd sweet as now but its slips real bad

na think its fucked . I found out its got a manual shiftkit fitted so I disconnected the vac hose & now it shifts into 3rd smooth but slips . As in the engine revs but the car doesn't pick up speed then it kind of grabs hold & will drive ok. It drives fine cruising in 3rd but try to speed up & she slips ..

Talked to a mate who works for a trans shop hes suggested a bottle of Lucas trans slip fluid apperantly its bloody good & because the trans has been sitting for a couple of years he said it may have a shitty film on the plates & need a bit of use etc ..Might as well try it i guess only other option it take the fucker out again .. I have a full rebuilt kit $300/400 so i guess it not the end of the world .Just such a shit to take it out again

Yo anyone no if low fluid would cause my trans to not shift into 3rd ?? It goes from 1st to 2nd all good in drive & manually shifting but not into 3rd..

its all good other than that but mmmmmmm not happy & I ran out of light

Not much of an update this week been busy sorting out the trans in the Pontiac instead. Started making mounts this week but i did buy some mooneyes wheel discs they are alloy & some noddy has painted them so i'm gunna paint strip em & leave the skinnys on there. They only stung me $30 I thought they were copies but they have the moon stamp on them so score.

Gives it the whole salt racer look..

okay got the TH350 checked & itrs a minter B&M shift kitted & all so I decided to pull the Powerglide out last night what a mish but got there .

Pulled the pan off the TH350 to fit new filter & pan {the old one had a few dents & repairs}..

Also learnt the factory coloum shifter wont work due to not enuff travel to select all gears & also decided to fit a trans cooler instead of using the factory bottom of the radiator shit idea

Those ideas resulted in the below purchases

might have to mod the crossmember slightly but thats it everything else will straight swap over

re: chassis steel plating, I 'think' its common to plate with the same guage steel.

Gonna level up the cab?

Also, UJ stop stealing my ideas. Been staring at this large rusty mixer bowl and shitty pump at the old mans yard for awhile now , Cant wait till my new shed is built. Back into that morris i started a while back now.

mint cheers na leaving tha can on the tilt will come down a wee bit in the front after i mount it

Guys I need abit of info

Sits real nice height wise but I want to shorten the chassis as it was a nissan kingcab chassis its way to long .

I have a model A wellside I want to put on it .Now my question what size plate{thickness} is regulation size{if there is one }to use to plate the chassis after I cut the section out. You can see from the pics what im wanting to do!!!

standard length after blocks fitted

The white lines are my rough cutting points taking out the yellow section

Giving this as a result

any advise wil be great

Also on making up a subframe for the floor of the cab/trans tunnel etc was thinking 25/30mm box . Thoughts ??

Small update

brought some 3 inch lowering blocks & some new engine & trans mounts heated up the drivers door hinges & removed the rusted pins hung the door with new ones

Fitted the blocks they sat the bitch right down low & man I love it. Still got 70mm of travel & thats without changing the bump stops to shorter ones

next week going to mount the engine & trans & shorten the chassis

got the engine sitting in today fit primo got a bit of work to do forthe trans mount tho sits on the torsion bar bolts

channeled the body down a bit more too looks mean as got a seat outta the old mazda 1200 ute i wrecked it will also fit primo..

Also had a fuck round with photoshop roof choppin it like it to the baddest but not sure if I wanna do it just yet going to dhop 400mm out of the chassis to shorten it up..

got a bit involved thismorning & at lunchtime.

sat the cab on the nissan chassis fuck me it nearly fit purrrrrrrrrrrfectly chopped out the fire wall wee bit more to go .

my only dilema is the f-guards cos they dont line up . I like the look of them but to make em fit they will need cut a lengthined but if i do the it may throw the look of them off

so yah bit stuck like the no guard look but not too sure there either & i'd have to wait til I can apply for a exemption..

For nor gunna channel the body down to where I want it to sit mount the engine & trans & go from there.

began work on it 5am thismorning stripped the cab off the nissan got a bit of chassis work to do to make the old ford body fit etc

trial fitment of the guards & grill not to bad should have a cool stance when done..

going to cut through the blue lines & remount the Stabilizer Rod mounts in the red circles

will have to shorten the Stabilizer Rods aswel as re-mount them

this is a rough idea of what i'll do up front

Wayne Martin is a good man, probably the best

that is a bloody good statement mate I have used Wayne for 3 cars now the fordy will be the fourth & would never use anyone else hes one of the most helpful dudes in the role..

He never says nup fuck off & fix it he'll tell you exactly what & how to make it right..
