    Cullen's 64 Bel Air

    Sharn incoming. Lots of words not many photos (yet).

     

    So, I'd been wanting to buy an Impala for a while and when the datsun popped up I thought it could be a good opportunity to make some money to put towards owning one.

    Unfortunately prices went crazy this year so it still seemed out of reach.

    As soon as it sold I put an ad up on one of the Facebook pages and I think I only got two responses. One was for a car way out of my budget and the other was a Bel Air in Wellington that looked rough.

    Anyway as time went on the Bel Air started to look like it could be worth looking at. 

    I messaged @crustywhip and he was in the UK. Oh. No worries, if the guy still has it when Kane gets home we'll go from there.

    Thankfully the car wasn't actually advertised for sale so when it came time to revisit the idea it was still available.

    Kane had a look for me last week and determined that yes the body and interior is beat up but it is original and mechanicals are good. That was enough for me. Flight booked.

    "Hey m8. Have a 64 Belair if u interested? Have just put brand new mags on it also. Has NO RUST and has been through compliance etc when my m8 I brought it off had it. New body mounts and vtnz checked and wof also. Awesome tidy car and drives mint as! All original paint, carpets , seats etc etc so been untouched part from the wheels haha. It’s got a good 307 in it at the moment. My m8 had the bottom end checked by his mechanic and all tidy as. Only looking at selling to by a new vehicle for my new business otherwise I’d keep it 100%  send u some pics"

    So anyway. Picked it up on Saturday and drove it home yesterday. It was tidier than I thought it would be and it drove well so I'm pretty stoked.

    I'll add some photos when I next drive it.

    Plans are to get rid of the 20"s asap and go to 14"s. Get some of the body tidied up  (There's a gark down the right side and some dents in the roof I wouldn't mind disappearing). A new hoodlining, probably a stereo, and all going well hydros.

    hey i used a mr2b to register my 1977 honda ct, and filled the form out as such - however i just noticed the rego sticker says 2020 honda ct

    did the lady enter this in or can i re-do it again (next rego time) and request it to be 1977? 

    Happened to me once. I'm pretty sure i ticked a wrong box on the form. I noticed when I was walking out and the lady got it changed to what it was supposed to be while I was there.
