What time do you want to meet at Caltex Rimutaka?

I'm planning on taking the Falcon, but I should probably upgrade my AA to AA plus before I do.

Cheers, I wonder if thats the same for XE - XF spindles

Cheers.

I'll be there with Big G and JTB. Staying at the same place as last time and hoping to get there on Wednesday avo and leaving on Monday.

No worries. Can change the time to suit.

Puhuhu. Shit is ready to happen. I just need someone to kick my ass and drag me to the lockup to pull the dashboard out. I keep talking myself out of it.

What's the convoy deets for Wellington crowd? Meet at Caltex Rimutaka at 1pm?

We can discuss in detail over a cold rum or 7 in approx 1 weeks time. (presume you are heading over Wednesday or Thursday?)

If you're not careful you'll wake up one morning and they'll be on your van...

Yes indeedily.

Yes, badly - in the back half. Bring your tools and you can replace it at Beach Hop. I can offer cash, handjobs and rum.

Just saw this, I like this. I'll get @Hayholes mum or @oldnrusty to rub their sticky fingers all over my junk.

Discussion thread Also, just in case you didn't think I was depraved enough. My BA has been painted now too. Plus I've bought a set of lowering thingamees and also scored some 'teens yo. 19x 9.5's to be 'pacific. Painted etc Tried the wheels on, but still need to do a lowering jobee.

The mirrors arrived before Wagnats started, but I got the notification while I was driving to Wagnats... So today I spent about 2 hours installing it in the hot hot sun. Ford sure made that shit overly and unnecessarily complicated to install. The elusive fucking mirror that has taken me close on 9 months and a bunch of fucking money to get into my hands, is finally attached Now for a couple of pictures I've had in stock for a few weeks Arriving at Wagnats, here you can see I now have the Triden 8's up front and 9's in the rear. Also wagnats is serious enough to need to take a shit tonne of wagcessories... A wee photo from a camp at Otaki Forks before Wagnats - you can compare the before and after of the tinted windows for yourself. Finally a pic I took going out to get fish and chips one night for dinner which I thought was cool.

Yup, I'm in. Providing the weather isn't shithouse.

It looks pretty good IMHO

They're not mirror tints Allan. Fortunately, I build my car for my taste, not for the approval of people on the internet and if by receiving the strokers award means I can only to modify it in a way that the strokers approve of then I don't want it and you can have it back. edit - on re-reading that may sound harsh but dude you are giving me shit for styling my car - my way.

I'm more OCD than Barry so uniform tints all round wins the mental battle and the windows are already tinted anyway. LOL

35% is the darkest legal allowed except for 4wd and vans which is as low as 0% behind the front doors. Weird rule but it is what it is. http://www.bignoise.co.nz/car-tint-laws

Should be good to go for Wagnats then?

OK

Cheers. I have a few bits I need to find still. Will make a list with photos

See here for what I mean

Did you put the bearing plates back in the same orientation they came out? The centre is offset to the mounting bolts and if you have it out by a third of a turn then you will have altered your caster and camber.
