After some gringing she opened up to me.. and the left side showed a few more holes aswel And flash alway makes stuff look great aswel thats all for now, hopefully not for too long this time

Update!!! I know what your thinking, bout farking time! my bad But heres hoping the updates are abit more frequent... Took me awhile to get the Vdub on the trailer and was freaking out about getting it off but all went alot smoother than i thought Golf is a mates im using, while the ute doesnt have a wof, fingers cross that will be sorted soon mite even buy the golf and flick the ute, i know "crazytims" keen on it The misses has a lot of shi.. I mean a few thing but t geuss cars take up more room Cant belieave i final have a garage tho, before if i wanted to work on the car, i had to call security 10minute before going to work, they would forget to unlock the gate, call them again, un lock the gate bla bla bla security codes bla bla 1 hour later, so yeah very much looking forward to this, as you can see little more clearing to do but as long as i can work on the vdub im happi

yeah i do, just been moving house and finishing my hog/side tracked project so havent been doing anything to it latey, only thing ive done is swapped the air box back to standard coz the Ramflo one i "rangi ed" up was shit and letting on to much air, but yeah still running just (still) sorting WOF out

Sweet, Mite be keen to tow/Checky drive down in the Vdub as my work/Vdub shed, is just down the road. Rather drive it down than tow it, but depens if cops are blocking off roads and shmit

Cheers man! yea ill try keep the updates alittle more frequent

going good, 2mouths in between updates, not bad Yea. my bad. but have been doin work on her in between getting side traked on the C90 build and sorting WOF shmit for Rodeo Got the front brake lines sorted, still need to bleed them up. Stripped the under belly, ready for a thick coat of POR15 and then a layer of under seal in a can While stripping it back found a couple more holes in the floor Pain in the arse, coz was plaining to paint it this weekend and have that job done but now have to get it to a panel beater, and with the sunroof still smashed makes it a total pain coz it has to stay inside with the rain the way it has been , So if theres anyone keen to help me out and can bring there welder down rat patch a few holes, theres a few beers in it for them and heres the damage... Pretty much how its been sitting for the past.....well like um 2 months shame Apart from the rust holes the rest come up pretty good really

Really Cant be arsed going though and writing shit bout every photo, so to sum its up i stripped it right back, paited all the crome gloss black sprayed the frame dark grey, found some crap wiring, think ive got it all sorted now, took a mates one for a ride the other day, his is re-powered with a 125cc pit bike motor and it hauls arse! heaps of fun, so mite have to do that myself Enjoi

New Side Cover PDL Air Box Cover FTW

Reassembled the front caliper last night. hoping that the crack that was in one of them is sweet, but will order new ones anyway. They bolted back on fine, just your usual old car pain in the arse stuff. And as you can see the new hoses sit heaps higher, now bend UP rather than hanging down. Old one were too stuck n there ways to change form been bent down to up, but all good im sure new hoses will make a difference anyway Ran out of time to finish hooking up the hoses, so didnt get a chance to bleed them Try and get that done this week cheers for now

Still sorting stuff out on the Ute for the Wof. Made it look abit cleaner on the inside. there are heaps of patch repairs in the floor, looks as if its sat in a field at some stage, and rusted out the floor. No holes or anything anymore but pretty patching job. looks heaps better, should have gotten before shoots. Found some carpet, laid that down. theres a leak coming form somewhere so mite have to pull it out after but looks good for now managed to make it out of one piece, was such a mission. After i finished this i found a few rust holes in the bottom of the drivers door manly few little ones on the other side as well. so ill pull those off and take them to the panel beaters shouldnt be too much Then get the exhaust welded up, and that should (touch wood) be it

how does it run etc?! pretty good, tappes are alittle noisey, and does use a abit of oil, theres none under the ute some it must be burning it all somewhere You mentioned its 3 seater, is it column change? nar, 4 on the floor would it make the trip?! as i was saying to you before, rings out at 90kph (top speed in the owners manual) so be a long drive at 60 70kph You use daily, I'd be wanting to use daily too, will it last?! cant see why not,as you would know there pretty sweet little engines, I do use it daily, and would depens wat ur towing all the time In your project thread you said she had started smoking a bit but was possibly wrong oil... was this so?! Yea, dont know, not doing it now, Ive stopped using the choke so mite have been a compo of both. do you still have the sides and tail gate and the towbar, does it bolt on or did u chop it off?! still got the sides, towbar is chopped off but you can have it cant see any rust bubbles and paint looks brite and shiny, Dont know about shiny, ive never cleaned it, hate yellow cars , little rust bubble by drivers side window wiper, dont think its a wof issue, will find out some. Ute needs a diff swap, not cause the one init is on the way out, but cause its dam slow should b able to mod a Gemmi one to fit, would like to look into this myself. Yeah will, ill see what happens about selling it still or not, will all depend on what i can get for the money for this. got a few ideas going though my head at the moe, so yeah ill let you know. i think i know that gemmi coupe your talking about, that well hot, been looking at the myself hope this helps

Haha yeah nats would be funi as, only if we can all make it to the same point and yeah no rego'd at the moe, at one off some scooter, mate gave it to me so it didnt look well dodge but just make it a C50 then no WOFs FTW , no one can tell

So getting back into it, trying to get it all really for cert, my brothers coming ovr in november and would be sweet if its was ready by then. Front ends jacked up, but this is where the back end should be sitting height wise, got some new stickers aswel discs off agian, im doing everything that mite help, even if its just alittle, it will all add up. So got the discs machined at ABC auto brake and clutch in town I over exposed this photo so you can see that the adjuster bolt is hitting the fuel tank, when set to its highest height not that i really want it at this height but it will need to sit here for cert so yeah it not hitting in the photo coz as you can see ive put a bit of wood to jack it up not sure what to do about this, at the moe only thing ive come up with is to space the tank up with washers or something but dont know how legal this is, any help would be sweet, cheers ive got a tin of POR15 all ready and waiting to paint the underside, just not looking forward to it will look heaps better once its done thou, ill get on to it soon new brake bits, new pads, hoses, and rotors Rotors dont look pretty but the guy at ABC said they should be sweet, pad doest even go that high up on the rotor any way New hoses, had to get these coz my WOF guy said they were hanging too low, under the height of the rim i asked them to be a good centermeter shorter but wasnt alot shorter, havent put them on yet but will be well pist if i have to get them redone pull the calipers apart, heaps of shit in them, and found this crack it the bore!! its afer the seal, but cant be good. my brother sent me a website of a shop in oz (where he lives) and they do new set for $195 so think they mite be on the cards for now im just gona bolt these back up and see how they go cheers

WOFs up for this beast, so been working onit, doing stuff i know its going to fail on Ride Height Few little rust holes in the floor (really small, pin head sort of stuff) Reverse lights mufflers not doing alot, snapped off just in front of it sounds sweet and two slow leaks in the tyres Our Truck Bay is kinda turning into my garage Looks like someone has done some work on the brakes at some stage, discs look sweet and new pads on the frnt and the master cylinder looks pretty new aswel Crawled under her and sprayed it with some under bidy sealer in a can, That shit hurts when you get it in your eye Surf is the bosses husbands car, asked me if i could bolt some panel on for him, so getting abit of cash in hand for that thats all fof now, will undate for how the WOF goes, Fingers crossed

So yeah, got myself sucked in to getting a Honda C90 Hog Heres the listing photos Was missing a few bits, but all just the superficial stuff Stripped it down, ended up pulling the motor off and rear swing arm, primed it all up My rims were abit rustly so painted them black, went Gloss in the end. but still need to do the frnt one in gloss Bolted her back togeather Kinda like the gray, so gona do it a darker shade still need to finish painted it all, find some side covers and a leg sheild then itll be rockin Note the mean air box cover Had it running for less than 2minute when i first got it, and some mates were goin on a huge mission on there hogs, so thought why not bad i dea, made it to the top of belmont hill at the base of the turbine then she crapped out lucky i could just coast back down the hill and got a ride back to the ute, loaded her up, put in back in the shed, and cant get the fucker started now, going to swap the carb round and have a play with a few things, but good fun when its going up dates to come

Shit! just realise this is tomorrow , i wont be in on this one, utes out of action at the moe, an big night otp tonight so dont thnk ill make it anyway

sweet mate, just read this now. she pretty good, but could do with so work. ill get into details bout your Qs tomorrow night too tired to go through the list to night

Looks Crazy man I love the colours, but I recon it needs that matt black stripe over its arse, ties it in with the bonnet more of a "Mopar" stripe, but they look funkin cool. and better than racing stripes they look like shit EDIT: and gloss blach the centers on your rims, that look phat to haha
