May have to bail tonight, will see how my day pans out....wetaher looks bloody mint though so I'm sure you wont miss me too much

Yeh what he said. On paper it might no require a cert to simply change the box and put in a clutch, but I doubt you would get away with leaving in the original brake pedal (massive) in anyway/who does that. But if it helps you sleep at night, then yes, you are "correct" Yowzer.

Lol. i only need it to bolt up a starter motor

Oh mean, keen to grab it from you and see if it will bolt up.

I have no idea what a 71C gearbox is but keen to see if it fits.

Small update. Massive thanks to old man KY for sending up a camshaft (thats not in two bits). Whacked that in and chucked the belt back on, engine turns over by hand with no odd noises or oddities (such as sudden loss in compression) which is a good start. I was hoping to compression test it but turns out its not really practical to do out of the car (cant bolt up starter etc without bell housing). Although might see if I can find a rb bellhousing for a loan as it will likely bolt up. Recent trip to Japan sourced a few goodies (crystal shifter, lace seat covers, stickers etc), and got my pine back on for some nice wheels so spent last night browsing yahoo japan. Also found a mooneyes visor haha https://wing-auctions.c.yimg.jp/sim?furl=auctions.c.yimg.jp/images.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/image/dr000/auc0212/users/7/0/8/5/mackys_1-img383x263-14818565326td6al22809.jpg&dc=1&sr.fs=20000 Need wof for nats so thats the primary goal (booked in for next weekend). Have done some work already that needed sorting so shoudl be straight forward.

Everyone bring me presents. Its my birthday (two days later)

it was so trippy, started getting dark, and then all of a sudden got super bright for about 15 minutes.

Yeh that was so dreamy. Almost as dreamy as Kickers L series flybys on the way home. Overrun sounded soooo good.

I'm pretty sure the engine cross member is different (as the mounts for the sway bar bolt to that), and then from memory there is a bracket one og the arms/legs/limbs which the sway bar links bolt through. Its been a few years since I looked at one though

Sway bar will need mods to bottom arm where the links mount no? Sounds like you got a bit of a turd (for that price lol) but trumps are lush so stick at it (I've had three mkII's: a 2000, 2500S and a 2000 estate)

Speedway / oval track only logical explanation

@Ned can probably build you a magic box

Sweet. Make it West end of owhiro bay parade. Turn right when you get to the coast and drive as far as you can, there is a big car park area and a visitor centre thing (Te kopahou visitor centre). Basically drive past manus house to the coast and turn right and then drive to the end of the road 021990806 if you get lost

Going to meet up at 4 somewhere (south coastish) with a bbq in tow and will find somewhere to park up and cook some meat etc. Raizer, can you find your way there or do you want us to find you on the way? @Raizer

Multi vehicle shenanigans!

Sunday morning most likely

Like

Can make it happen/always keen for an excuse to go. Got a picture of what you want?

Shit yeh. I'm down for something regardless so can lock in a time that suits. Would people prefer early arvo or an evening type deal up?

8, right down the end on the culdesac. Opposite side to the train tracks

@Steelies @Seedy Al @Raizer @Goat So you jokers keen for a bit of the ol' hu ha tomorrow arvo? Weather looks mint And by hu ha I mean load up the wag, chuck in a few bevies, a hot plate and some snags etc and go sight seeing? Joe has offered his van services as well (if we need the room) And anyone else is welcome to join in as well!

Choice. buy the place next door, we can knock down fence and make a commune

Negative, its the one next door. Buy that one and we can be neighbours tho!

Possibly/open home this weekend so will have a nosey around
