ha. now i know why i had to trim down the earth pin on my welder when i got it a few years ago didnt know there was a different plug

stupid rusty door cut out all that cut bit out of rusty-in-different-places door off green one, have to just quickly weld a couple of patches into the patch before i weld in the patch I DISLIKE PANEL WORK IMMENSELY.

tailgate pooed up, looked like a bag of walnuts to start with. still not perfect, fine for no shine black though.......

nosecone fixed, had rot in corners

http:// fixed more little bits of rust, drivers door and guard on for good, both front guards and bonnet painted underneath, inside floor painted, new guts friendly steering wheel. trying to find a passenger door or ill have to do some major surgery on the one i have

no, they dont need cert. have a look under the carpet, a lot of cars have the threaded holes already there just with no clip

Dear Vintagegrumble, If your Motorcar meets the Requirements of the Low Volume Vehicle Standard, linked Here; http://lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Frontal_Impact.pdf Relevant information located at section 2.3 A Certification plate surely is able to be Obtained and Affixed to the aforementioned Vehicle. Best Regards and Compliments of the Season Mr C.Field

yes same deal.

haha. id be more worried about being able to walk still.

has to pass 5x 100-0 kph stops under 4.4 sec each time, total of 3 minutes to do the test driveshaft loop What sort of V8? another rover?

its up to the individual certifier how much this costs doesnt have to be done by the same certifier. it often turns into a cockup because the car is mysteriously lower than when it was certed or there are more mods than the owner lets on and needs re certing anyway

that would be sweet, just make sure its mounted well a lot of ones i see are held in with self tappers or rivets

this place has many handy things https://www.mountshop.co.nz/Default.asp

looks good man, my mum had one of these when i was a little feller. they have a nice shape to them, and dont often see them modified

there was a guy on trademe selling china fake auto meter tachos, i was unfortunate enough to purchase one. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/688629356/5_LED_Shift_Set_Sport_Comp.html

rear suspension done, 2 leaves removed and 2'' blocks made, also got brakes working again parts one is impressing the neighbours no doubt

yep belts have to have a safety standard marking on them....eg, if its US it wil be FMVSS106, euro stuff has E in a circle, NZ aust is NZS2596 have seen an indians van that had diy belts stitched up with fishing nylon.....eek. modifying belts yourself is a no-go Autoliv used to do belts here but they have closed up shop, only in oz now.

Looks good man! the 8'' wheels on the back fill out the guards well, ive never seen 8'' rims in the early stud pattern before.

as mentioned, you can have a hyd h/brake, can have inline in original brakes or run seperate calipers, but whatever you do must have an authority card, even with a seperate caliper system.

yes that would be the way to do it drill holes one big enough just for the bolt, one big enough for the crush tube to slide in weld the tube to the rail around the big hole trim/grind flat, dont grind the weld off completely though.

Cant see why that couldnt work, may need to add a gusset to the side of that vertical bracket. Best to talk to the certifier you plan on using about exactly what he wants to see done. you will need a 1D category certifier for this mod

have you got a pic? i dont get what you mean.

they look sweet, i think they would look good with those whitewalls on.

diff out of other ute ready to go in, 3.23 lsd, cleaned up and painted, made some new brake pipes, brakes all like new- bonus. next will be lowering the rear, have got some new u-bolts, will make some 2'' blocks, utes have a diffrent rear spring set with more leaves so some will go into the bin for freeslam
