i was looking for these few weeks back, turned out i didnt need new ones i just got new O-rings for mine

yup just like that, and yeah those mirrors make me jealous i dont have them.

of corse i did/do love you lee

thats a mean tidy 52, so many popping up now, there was 3 52 desotos at beach hop(same car just different badges and grill)

what would need to be done to fix it? and how wide is it?

it looks like the shape and style after but im realy after a solid one, and plus thats for a morry aye? i think my 52 would be a bit wider threw there anyway, cheers for the offer tho, or maybe i could make somthing similar,

see what happens aye,

yeah solid is wat im after exactly like the one in the foto,

yeah i saw that number plate, but i dnt think id get it, dnt wana copy the other 1.

nah cause its 6 volt, so we just push started it, took it for a hoon out onemana wayand just cruised the main with the park lights on, and took it for a hoon every now and then

yeah it is a shame i was a bit gutted. plenty of time to do it tho,

cheers thats what im after pritty good price to, will order some, im still looking for a visor tho so if anybody hears anything let me know

ok, never herd the term bomber before, but yes im defelntly after a visor been looking since i bought it, just not to easy to come by,

im also after some of these

what do you mean by bomber accessories?

um nah i like the look of the smoothies, going to keep them chrome for now.

alright well its been a while since i done anything.

orginaly i was going to put 3 inch blocks in the back and cut the fronts.

so i put the blocks in and the u bolts where about 5mm to short, so i thort id just take the bottom 2 leafs out and that would sort that problem,

so i talked this threw with dad and he suggested that i also flip the main spring cause that would also lower it at least an inch, so while i had the springs apart i fliped th emain and took 2 leafs out, put it back together and it was LOW...............................to low(as much as i hate to say it)

was sitting on bump stops and cause i had fliped the spring is had changed the spring rate causing the diff head to twist and hit the floor everytime i gave the gas pedal a boot.

so i took the 3 inchs out and put 2 inchs in, same problem, took the 2 inchs out and put 1 inch in, problem solved until i took 3 people in the back, so now it has no problem at all, with people in it, now to the front, i took 1 1/2 coils out of it and droped it 80mm and sitting exactly where i want it.

now photos of it lower.

while at beach hop i stuck a deal with dads mate and bought 2 airbags, got a air conditioning pump but might change it for another one depends if i can change the pully or not, so im starting to collect parts for it, i also have a 318 V8 valient motor siting in the shed waiting for a rebuild.

well ive been chch, been to dunedin for the last week, was cool little town, and now im back in chch for the rest of the weekend,

Wirtgen 2500 with intergrated spreader, and cement stabilising, and a couple of foamed bitumen stabilising
