    Remember The Good Life when Tom converted his rotary cultivator/hoe into a vehicle to drive to the shops?
  2. KKtrips
    preferably not - but I'll consider anything right now
  3. KKtrips
    No, but good idea. Will keep it in the old grey cells if current avenues are fruitless. Was next on the suggestion list from the panelbeater. Would be mucho aprecciato if you could do this for me.

    Shop did it. Just get them to send the part to Spiro and tell him to send it on with some Melbourne heroin stuffed in the bulb holders.

    Not 12 slots- factory steel mang. Yes definitely!! We thought we had one but turned out it was for an XF (which is different of course LOL)

    It's on the mend - yay insurance!

    Do them both together. A poked condensor causes points to burn out so the new points have probably already been poked too. I think the only place to get the condensor from was genuine Ford parts.
  8. KKtrips
    These had points and condensor right up until the early 2000s. Replace both of those. From memory the condensor is a cunt to buy but definitely do both. Never do just one. Also if you do the job yourself, be very certain about cleaning the anti corrosion coating off the contact tips of the points. The number of people who replace their own set of points and don't follow these 2 bits of advice, and have failures soon after, is many.

    Nah, going to get a pair of 245-50-14's (the only size Eagers are still made in) and fit them to the front then move the 2 front GR-60-14's to the rear and keep 1 spare GR-60--14 in stock for just in case. (eventually I'll put the GR-60-14's on the 9" rims) Still waiting to hear if insurance is going to pay for a pair or if I'm going to need to pay for 1. Hopefully they pay for the pair because it's considered impossible to match them.

    Found a taillight it seems (see Clints reply above) tyres look to be sortable and the mirror is the next sticking point.

    Build Thread This is the part you need http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/carburation-induction/auction-1356044285.htm

    Yeah they've had it on PT for 2 weeks now and managed to get a tailight but I think he said it was scratched and a corner is broken off. I think he has got that at least so when I take it away while trying to find the bits it will have working tail lights. Could just leave it to the panelbeater to find the parts but I'm fine to help out where I can. Will pop in and see him Wednesday and see how shits going anyway.

    Does anyone have hookups for taillight and mirror? Turns out that they are harder to find than good cheap scotch. /insurance is asking for me to hook them up, anyome got leads?

    FUCK SOME PIZZA!

    These are headers made by Castle Headers for a 304 into EJ/EH https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFg5MDA=/z/eDcAAOSwdGFYt6b4/$_20.PNG

    I'll be there on shank's pony/Citroen.

    Worst thing is those tyres are a particularly cunty one to replace. They are a GR width which has no direct metric equivalent, they came off an American import with next to zero miles on them.
  18. KKtrips
    It'll buff out.

    Yeah sucks a little, but no. I'm pretty confident that hitting a parked car will be relatively indefensible though.
  21. KKtrips
    Build thread updoot. Drat and double drat. Good thing is I have insurance, truck that hit me has insurance and the guy admits full responsibility. Now to put the insurance companies in the ring together and see who gets knocked the fuck out.

    No silly, he used to be a pizza hat.

    I've just done a quick online check and looks like 18RG is a shim type arrangement for setting valve clearances. Sorry I should have checked first. This is typically a set once and forget deal (when putting the head together) and is considered an advanced level job so if you are not sure then it would best be left to the experts. It probably doesn't need doing but if it does then Murray at Weber Specialties will tell you.

    @64vauxhall will know the ticket for cheap sources of good sound deadening.
  25. KKtrips
    Looking good man. Are you going to smash a bunch of sound deadening on all the panels? Inside the doors, floorpan, frunk and engine bay? Imagine driving a quiet Beetle. Sweet dreams are made of these. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/wiring-kits/auction-1341635468.htm
