could be either G or S except the bolt hole at 10 oclock is not right? fuck, i dunno, weld a stick to it and use it for a golf club.

was gonna say M because they are awesome but the starter looks too high? i unno? also, is three bolts across the bottom right for W50? fuck, Ive got two of them in my shed, you would think i would be able to remember if a W50 has three bolts or two on the bottom............

fuck i spat tea ALL OVER my monitor. thats the funniest thing Ive seen this year. thanks Ben, you've done it again!!!

fuck yea!!! i had a fucking sweet time. thanks heaps Tim and lots of thanks to your better half for all the food and stuff. will definitely trade again. sheepers.

its supposed to be fine tomorrow/tomorrow night. keen for BBQ and burning things. see you tomorrow.

the UZ is too wide for the front upper arms, you could move the engine up but it wouldn't help you much, the flange face would have to go up 100mm or so to clear the A arm. i reckon you wouldn't get the bonnet closed if you raised the motor that high (not to mention how crap it would be to drive) its not like its impossible, its just the the exhaust would be really difficult and very narrow in places.

i think the guy ran out of money? dont know what happened to it, he said if it didnt sell he was just going to leave it in his mums garage for a few years.

yea, thats the one. i went down to have a look at it (read convince the wife we should buy it) and it was fucking tight, like, FUCKING TIGHT!!!!!!

i see. Ive seen a sedan with a UZ in it. it wasn't finished and had no exhaust but the flange face on the head was about 15mm away from the upper wishbone of the front suspension. the exhaust would have been interesting to say the least. does your brother know about this forum? you should hook him up.

im pretty sure i spoke to him at last years Kumeu hot rod show. ive seen that car before but i have no idea where the guy lives. it would be cool to go and have a look at it if its not a million miles away. is he working on it? what are his plans?

yea, you could argue that it has some rust. but i stand by my initial statement, "apart from the rusty bits, it has no rust" thats what i said and I'm sticking to it.

imma just bump this thread. just cauz

how can you keep a gun full of epoxy primer unused without it going off in the gun?? id love to be able to mix more than i need and just use it when the repair is done or its the end of the day.

fire wall is done. had to make a new mount for the wind screen wiper motor because the old one was rusty in the back. you can't really see much but this is the new panel i made, its thicker than the original one and will do the job well. i welded the bottom lip onto the patch because it looked crap when i tried to make it one piece and fold up the lip. I'm happy with how it came out. in other news I've got all the parts back from the acid strippers and they are not as bad as i thought they would be. they are dented to fuck (thanks largely to the idiot mongrel that filled everything with bog) but not very rusty. bonnet is good and should come up well with a skilled (not mine) hand, guards are pretty good too. but the next job on the list is to re-make the sills. ill be doing that next. also, imma just chuck this here, would be cool to hear your thoughts. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15998&p=829524#p829524 sheepers.

address me bitch!! also, it was looking like rain, now its not, maybe it will again by sat, who knows. it will be sweet either way.

i got some fenceposts that i can't find a use for (except rolling the spa pool down the hill) tanalised as, be sweet.

me and the boss will be there,. keen!! will be sweet, blankets on your knee, sausage on a stick, tea in the thermos (where "tea" means booze, and "thermos" means my stomach) key three three enn

the MS51 race car comes first.

everyone in the whole world, read the above and learn from it. take on more than you can manage, do it often. sometimes it might not work out perfectly but you'll be better for it every time.

bonfire sounds like fun. sausage on a stick, take a blanket for your knees (only do this if your old) maybe ware a hat!! Sky's the limit really. count me in.

"dodgy phone guy" whats not to like??

wow. lots of people all over the shop. was a good meet last night, and the eating upstairs was a good move, although it might not be so good when its raining. name tags were good too, thanks Tara, i sometimes forget who i am and its good to have a reminder. maybe next time you could put my home address on mine so i can get home if I'm having a "senior moment". good.

its probably the oil pressure light sender unit/switch. when they get old they have a spazz and start triggering at a higher pressure than they are supposed to. so, your light comes on when the engine is idling and hot i,e the lowest oil pressure the engine sees. chuck a new sender in it and see what happens.

I'm guessing it will be the same as ma45 type celica. I'm pretty sure the cresseda box is slightly smaller than the crown ones.

Imma head down to the taupo town and have a beer, Anyone else around?
