  1. Check out Whitehorse Industries in Melbourne
  2. the guy that bought the cobra shell is going to take a mold off it and whip up a few more!
  3. slot out the holes if you need them in a hurry!.. they'll fit
  4. Also, another option, http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/air-filters/auction-649747567.htm I'll do a deal for oldschoolers on these if wanted
  5. Try Rowe Storage, Maces Rd, Bromley. It's a storage area with various size units, but the good thing is they don't mind you working there! Was a good price too
  6. Tryin to hook up a few local vw's for ya .. we too will travel far for a cup of tea! Which school's it at???
  7. Looking sweet dude! ... great to see it on the road!
  8. I had one recently down Maces Rd. Can't remember what its called but from woolston it's on the left before kiwi. Anyway, was only about $40 a week but was big, had power and they didn't mind you working from there. Worth checking out!
  9. Looking great!!! ... good score on the motor too!!
  10. 26-31 December is when the Greymouth Rodders have their run and show, so you'll probably come across a bunch of them on the road
  11. the world needs more lowered bays!! mine was the lowest at the Nats but still needs so much more! wheels are standard bay 14" up front and 16" Merc at the back. Both are running with custom wheel trims that cover the holes and look like early smoothies. Held in place with early hubcaps.. Time for a change of wheels now though so current ones up for grabs
  12. definitely needs to be lower out back but waiting for adjustable spring plates.. ..can't be arsed with the tailbone smashing 3 spline ride!
  13. Ball joint beam??? If so there's not much choice for dropped spindles. They are f*kn expensive http://transporterhaus.de/index.php?opt ... Itemid=163 or welded, which is a no-go for cert Depending on how low you want to go, you can just run adjusters http://www.wagenswest.com/partstore/ind ... sters.html want to save some coin then just run one.. I'm running with one only and the ride is surprisingly great! Out back you can just turn your springplate 1-2 notches, fit boomerang plates or run with adjustable springplates That's pretty much the basics of it. Here's mine that is running one adjuster up front and adjusted 2 nothches out back. Lowest point up front is approx 110mm.
  14. I'm out in Oxford... Got just under half a metre of snow out here
  15. this was about lunchtime yesterday.. kept snowing hard until 6pm parked my golf beside a big hedge.. bloody thing has folded over by the weight of the snow so won't get the golf out for a while!!
  16. Started by the hotrod guys but not only for hotrod parts.. Anything automotive!!! Sure if nobody brings any oldschool parts then there won't be any. But on the flip side, if you do bring some then there will be Swapmeets can only grow if people participate.. I personally prefer not to give Trade Me my $$$
  17. Super Southern Swap Meet .. Sunday 11 March Time to get rid of all that automotive junk to buy more automotive junk!!! Super Southern Swap Meet – automotive only at Kustom’s clubrooms, McLeans Island. Car show, food stalls, camping on-site. Sites only $15, entry $5, camping $20 (incl site). Pre book your swap site now. Contact Craig (03) 347 8388 or stottle@xtra.co.nz or Steve (03) 347 4350 or 021 800 124 or steve-lynette@xtra.co.nz. ** Remember, if you start bringing out your oldschool parts then others will too!! ** Cya there
  18. na its a '79 bay.. 5x112 I may be onto something. Merc Vito vans have the same pcd/centre bore and come in 16" too. That's all i'm after is 16" or 17" steelies That's what i reckon as well. So instead of machining them and then adding a new lip i'll give these Vito wheels a bash
  19. Did a bit of digging round and didn't really come across much opposition to this. I thought I would have? I'm looking at doing this for my kombi and as far as I can tell the wheels are not hubcentric so all the lugs will take the load anyway. But in saying that i'd machine them to a good fit on the hub I'd rather increase the bore of the wheels then to take some meat off the hub itself. I'll check with my cert man and find out for sure and let ya know what he says.
  20. Is it ok to increase the centre bore on steel rims?? If I was to do this it would mean removing the lip around the hole and I'm not 100% sure that i'm happy about that?? Any ideas??
  21. Over the next couple of weeks we are looking at transporting some vehicles from chch to Timaru. On the return trip the trailer will be empty so if you need something brought back pm me and see if we can work something out.
  22. Automotive only. Getting bigger every year and so is the variety. So who knows what will turn up???? If it's old school kinda stuff you are after then encourage others to get a site going. If its just hot rodders that have a site then it'll be all hotrod related parts but if we get more of a range of guys having sites then the variety of parts will increase, simple as that. No doubt after the quake you gotta tidy your garage anyway so why not just chuck some old stuff in the car a bring it out.
  23. That time again!! 13th March 2011 (Sunday) Christchurch’s SSS Swap Meet is automotive only and is being held at Kustoms Clubrooms, McLeans Island, Christchurch.
