I might have something for you/3 random suzuki oversize pistons from that era. Will bring round tonight/right now.

No worry, I heard that place was poo's anyway. Corbie, that could be choice, Whakatane ain't really on the way to Auckland/anywhere though..?

Nah bolts, no curry/hurry. Same goes for bike tyre also.

This thing has some sweeet lines. I can dig it.

Fuel filter clear? Clear of blockages? Clear of fuel?

Raawwr. That reminds me, Jeff will be passing through Taupo at some stage in the near future also.

Remove springs, end story. But seriously, to summarize, new front springs cut, and used rear springs compressed? Swap rears side to side would be my first attempt. At least then you can eliminate the rear springs. This thread got confusing.

Taupo could work, then the ever helpful Ben/Keltik could grab them off MrT at some later stage. I like this very much.

Wicked!

Hey I've bought a pair of 14' tyres off a guy in the Hamilton area, and hes having trouble getting them freighted my way. Any chance someone could pick them up for me and we'll go from there? I don't know when I'm going to be around hamilton next thats all. Cheers. JOhnB

This thing is fucking sweet. Kudos to you.

Thats kinda what I'd thought too, similar to a Hillman Imp or such. Cool Mazda, Keen to get some detailed shots of this bizzarro sounding awesome shit.

People get away with swapping tags over quite a lot. But I suspect pick-a-part will probably have a policy against selling tags somehow.

Time travel occured?

Did they make an SD1 coupe? That looks awesome! I can't help but think from the side profile it looks like the granddaddy to these abominations.

Awesome read, keep up the updates! What else do you plan on doing with the car?

This thread delivers.

Find a place thats open on a Saturday morn, rock in with a 6 pack and offer it to the most depressed looking dude in there and offer swaps for services. Everyones happy.

Here are the only two pictures I could find that we took on the day.

there had been talk of a few of us going up in a brown thing. Will see what the deal is.

Just speak to the guy, find out what his concerns are, if the thing is legit I'm sure it won't be anything serious.

I love this shit. I dig how quick you tear through stuff.

Got it together on Friday night during work beers, ran for 20second, died, couldn't get it going, fretted around for a while, pulled off the flywheel and found the key sheared off, made another one from a piece of washer and whapped it back together, ran for another 10mins before it did the same again. Gave up for Christmas Eve. Went back in at 8am on Xmas, made another key up out of some more washer, locktite + torqued up to impact gun setting #2. Proceeded to run it in around town gently for an hour or two until clutch cable broke. Went and did christmas rubbish. For the day. Spent boxing day morning making up a new inner for clutch and welding some shitty ends on made out of bolts. Ran it in some more on boxing day in the bush/round town/your face. My shittily made cable is fraying quite badly but will last until the shops are open I hope. Did a skid for some kids. Sucess!

Shadow Garage also has a motorcycle division, which focus's primarily on the extremely unpractical and slightly unusual.
