  1. Put in some carpet. That is all. Waiting for Winz to gimme my $grand back so i can do other stuffz.
  2. k33n Im pretty central. Hillsborough etc. Dominion rd would be great location wise but yeah shyte for parking. Ponsonby would be about the same id think unless we hijack a side street. Happy for whenever/where ever so Im not voting -1 for botany
  3. Nah, definitely no regulator lurking there anywhere.
  4. Ok. Ill go have a scrim-mim-age and see if i can find it...
  5. Yup red charge light is on permanently even with the keys out and i have to jump start it every time. Put a new battery in it a while back coz i thought that was the problem but it didnt fix it and now the battery is holding very little charge even if its been on the charger overnight. Enough for the wipers to go but nothing else really.. Went and got the alternator load tested yesterday and its stuffed. Need to do the same with the battery. Probably a case of chicken and egg syndrome i think. I have no idea if this shell is wired for an alternator or generator. The engine was out when i got it. Is there a way i can tell? Hadnt even considered that as a possibility but its a bloody good point..
  6. Cheers! $50 sounds perfect right now..
  7. Anyone got a spare one in decent order that i can thief for a price?
  8. Whoa... Well overdue for an update!! Well last xmas we swapped the engine into the Mo Jay shell. But Mo Jay is a gay name so its still the Morange. Had only a weekend to do it and with a shitload of dedication from Wayne and Richie we got it pretty much sweet. Only thing was that while i was driving it back to Aucks there were a few little things going wrong. Turns out i hadnt hooked the speedo back up, we were missing a few indicator bulbs and they wouldnt flash, plus the battery wasnt holding its charge + charge light was permanently on, even with the keys out. So... in this condition it was off the road for almost a whole year!! Rego currently on hold till August 09. Was reluctant to replace the alternator for various reasons noone could be sure that that was actually the problem. And then.. Yesterday Matt (Lan-Killa) headed over for a bit after work and we began to sift through the problems. Well he did, as i sat wanting to help but feeling entirely bloody useless. Tried to jump start it and got nothing but a loud metallic click. After tinkering for a bit he took the starter motor out and connected that straight to the battery and presto it free'd itself up and began to spin. Chucked that back in. And the morry actually ran!! Kept coughing and spluttering a bit and what not tho but i was just stoked to smell it going. Headed down to onehunga repco to get oil additive.. and discovered/drove past the mitre 10 fire which was exciting.. Put the battery on charger over night. Today we put the battery back in, and it would turn over and die. Was missing. Matt played with the carby and timing and got that sweet. Now sounds good. Got a bit wet push starting it in the rain and i almost killed him with my towing skills lol. But now if the battery has just a little charge itll start first time. Spent the rest of the evening tryna sort out the mysterious charge light. Thought something was just wired wrong at first, so ripped out the dash and started over again according to the manual still to no avail. After running every connection past BDA we decided to bite the bullet and take it to get load tested tomorrow. Also found a mysterious purple wire which didnt go anywhere..but its the horn and the connection on the indicator stalk is broken. New one coming up from welly in the next couple of days, cheers Chris! So things to do next.. 2x fuses 2x bulb 1x alternator check, 1x indicator stalk, 1x choke cable. and then all going to plan.. 1x warrant. Massive thanks to Matt, hes spent ages putting up with my dumbass questions and crappy british electrics. Thoroughly a GC. I is a very happy Koki.
