Just spoke to bosslady. We have a party in beachaven from 430-630 so may have ponies anyway... whose gana cruise my gemmis ?

Will people bring kids? Could bring ponies to make extra $$ for whichever charity you speak of. We have already done a bit of fundraising for madisonmerrick.org.nz at our recent open day. Fuck I'm munged.

Been slack... got bumpers on the other day, only bothered uploading pics last night. I know I know I know, needs more low/slam, looks like a skyscraper etc etc etc... don't go pointing out the obvious. I am well broke and need an adj panhard rod before I can consider it so it will likely stay this way until I can wrangle or modify one. Focusing on multiple projects with minimal funds sucks. Anyway aside from bumpers not being square and centred pretty happy... will probably restain the timber inserts with darker stain... still some work to do to interior and most importantly get some mirrors on it, have M-A-S-S-I-V-E blindspots! Anyway Panno is finally complete looking. Yay!

Gemmi panelvan and chevete wags parked out front

Short notice I know having a burn off. Limited amounts of roast arapawa sheep, beef and chicken if you come now! 3 FIRES STACKED BE STARTING FIRES FROM 8PM

That should read: having a shindig

Keen if not have g a shining with ponies and brats.

I oldschool spotted you on Thursday arvo pulling out of a driveway on olive rd... was parked across the street in my panno maaaaaaaaate

This is all go for this weekend.

Hmmm can I slam my gemmi van by then? If customers pay me on time I shall be there

Well failed to get it done for the Oldschool leadfoot cruise... lucky I had a spare! The green wag had the wide steels bashed on it late the night before and a quick wash. She performed great, probably the longest trip its had : ) Anyway red car drove home the other night! Still bumperless and sitting a mile in the air on stock springs : / Also has temporary grill fitted... need to get TE grill painted still, is sitting at the shop in primer. Just having it painted black. The bumpers are having timber inserts made up to replace the rubber filler strips which are knackered. These will be stained and oiled and hopefully look pretty sweet/different. Currently doing a rather good impression of a rollerskate on my 17s! Put dash in yesterday, went wityh 2 tone brown and tan. Also fitted Chevette wagon door trims in tan with black centre and carpet at bottom which look quite smashing. Also brings black into the colour scheme meaning the black steering column surround and centre console units won't look out of place. Fairly happy with it all, wishing I had bought more than 4L of basecoat though... paint is a little thin, probably shouldn't have done engine bay in body colour. You live and learn and I learnt lots about the processes and prep etc of automotive refinishing. Next on agenda is removing lowering springs from my green Chevini hatch and jamming them in... need adjustable panhard rod before doing this though... so yeah... O yea mirrors, need mirrors ASAP... and liner for cargo area. Have a sheet of checker plate for the floor/tray. Will be hunting out a cheap sheet of plywood for side panels, mainly so nothing smacks the panels from inside and to hide the inside of the panels. As you were!

Lining up for a run at Rods Pikes Peak section of his... erm driveway (I find it very hard using that word to descibe such a sweet section of tarmac!) Can yal tell the stadium truck was one of my fave toys in the shed... despite it only being single speed and good for about 45mph in a stadium... Had to take a sneaky pic of my gemmi with it lurking behind : ) After our run up the rest of the drivetrack we came back down and the sky started looking pretty grumpy... it was time to leave : ( And after a beer at Coroglen with everyone it was time to cut a track for me and my lady. Wish we stayed but pretty broke, kids, animals to tend to, red gemini to carry on with today... impressed with lack of fuel use, reckon I got there and back to Jafaland for around $70! (maybe $80)

Have a few more... photoskuzzbucket just started being a bumhole, this should wet your appetite until the rest of the boes start arriving back from Hahei and megauploading their pics!! we left from Coroglen pub about 3pm yesterday I spose... wish we stayed : (

Whose jess batt? Won the festival tix, congrats!

Well said dude, guys a champ (literally) mint pics too

What an amazing place. Thanks Karl and Aimee/Amy?? for organising today and of course Rod Millen for not only letting us see his toys but also taking his spare time to personally show and tell about his awesome contraptions and answer questions and so on. What a champ and again what an amazing spot!

too busy to update proper...

Cutting it fine but determined... car was painted Saturday. Sunday we found timing chain had dropped into block (had head off) so last night engine came out and was reassembled and dropped back in. Off to waiheke for two days so having my mate/uberclean worker carry on assembling. Got front and rear screen, steering column, booster/master cyl, some of the rubbers, tail lights and a few other bits done already. Still heaps to do incl SLAM or face the wrath of a good ol fashioned oldschool.co.nz flaming. Excited, stressed... wish I had another week but it shall be done!

If your not sorted Go on Facebook and look up tristan sample customs.... will do it cheaper than any shop. His number is on there tell him crazytim sent ya

Tim is poor captain kirk. $15 plus a bit for my mate to smash together sounding waaaaay gooderer. Thanks gents! (And Tom

Oh oops no worries : )

Yeah bro if down early enough friday can come watch my arm get carved up some more while sucking back a few quiets

If not supposed to respond to tech articles delete me... but Mr Alan of Seediness, what type of vee-hickle has the part you scored from Pick-A-Part? Desperately need to locate one and have my friend make me one of these so I can slam and run wide steels on my newly painted gem panelvan (that had better be finished on Sunday). Skyscraper spec is not an option any longer. Regards, The Crazyiest if Tim's

Gutted... was expecting to have my freshly painted Gemini wagon of rust and bog there... but it has taken waaaaay longer than expected. He reckons its like someone has rubber malleted the sides of the car something chronic and is taking his time to get it tip top... Better be ready for Hahei or yal shall see a grown man cry (Its my birthday and I'll cry if I want to...) True Story Hahei is my bday weekend! Have fun eatting burgers boes and boettes! Until next time : ) Crrrrrrrrrrazytim
