  1. Didn't realise I had been updating on http://www.gm-t.co.nz and not on here... heres a few updates relveant to the car.

    Aug 12 2011 from GM-T Build thread:

    crazytim: Finally fixed the power starvation problem, timing chain was set wrong by engine builders... GRRRRRRRRRRRRR but happy its finaly sorted, its like a different car!

    Sept 4 2011 from GM-T Build Thread:

    crazytim: this lil car is being a rite slag. Wouldnt start friday lost a day of work, thought it was just plugs finally got round to changing them today, fathers day which caused domestics and still wont start.

    Towed it to Troys so he could fix it in morn and ripped tow eye out and mangled front valance... almost over it! Spent heaps on that car and is still an unreliable P.O.S

    November 22 2011 from GM-T Build Thread:

    crazytim: Was parked in Mission bay today and opened the door into a Series 2 Commie wagon. Park brake was off and I rolled a full parking spot, thank Barry White no Mrs Funt'maRunt was in front of me!

    July 31 2012 from GM-T Build Thread:

    crazytim: nuts Barry White Mrs Funt'maRunt! Got him a mean price for repairs, he wants to go the insurance route.... those Mrs Funt'maRunts had best not write off my ride! Also sweet price is from a non insurance company garage and the parts may not be available forever on that orange wag in Napier... PLUS my car is now unwofable, door doesn't nearly seal (bit windy on motorway) and only latches on the first 'click' and I am broke as hell @ the mo! : (

    August 3 2012 from GM-T Build Thread:

    crazytim: well this grabbed my door and pushed the car as handbrake was off so just a mildly crushed door shell and panel had de-skinned itself a bit each end of door. Will be turning that into a trophy/work of art.

    Got off paying insurance for his repairs. Have to fix own car myself now but decided to have some fun with the rattiness of it first for a short time.

    Making a deal for aninja's (GM-T member) wide steels which will ultimately end up on red gem wag but will be more in keeping with green wag for time being.

    May even fit my bare steel bonnet of rustiness for a bit and maybe even racks : )

    Temporary door... will need to save up some pennies to get whole side resprayed... then get whole other side, then bonnet/roof/boot : )

    Yesterday aquisition from Mr Andrew Shadgett aka aninja... one set of wide steels to complete rat look... will likely end up powder coated or painted and put on my red wagon I think but will look swt on this for now.

    These were formerly owned by Jase aka slidenyo aka mcqunt or whatever the fuck it is he goes by on OS these days...

    Pretty happy, would be happier if the car hadn't been hit but I can deal with the rat look for a while... red gem wag really needs paint ASAP so this will have to wait, at least it is intentionally ratty! Whereas the red gem is just old and haggard.

  2. Did anyone see Burgerfuel ellerslie on Target last night??

    It got 8/10.

    I didn't see it, but they're doing pretty well to get 8/10. I bet Target said "Burgerfuel were the most expensive of our test, and they didn't steam clean their rubbish bin hourly or wear face shields to protect against frying injuries. But overall, a good effort."

    I should be able to make this meet.

    Pretty much spot on, they did say "Burgerfuel were the most expensive of our trial" and they slammed them for a low APC count in the toilets, recommending that they should clean the toilets better. But overall, a good effort.

    linky link to the video http://ondemand.tv3.co.nz/Target-Season ... fault.aspx

    Haha have given them uber clean card several times... useless cunts could have got them a 9/10!

  3. Indiana Jones just had his Wolseley painted by a mate of mine on Henderson Valley Rd for pretty cheap... PM him to see if he is happy with what was done and indication of price and contatct deets if it sounds like what you are after.

    Feck it heres Tristans number: 0210742207 tell him Crazytim sent ya! (cash is king he works to a good standard and doesn't charge heaps!)

  4. spotted kiwi808 red coupe looking all mint as fuck on Lincoln Rd today...

    and pretty sure I saw Mr Ryan Fels stroll past the 2degrees shop in westgate as I was signing up today as well...

    ha ha yep was heading over to my mates house.. What were you in/did you beep/wave/run the other way?

    I was in a silver Range Rover Classic by the KFC heading toward mway : )

  5. saw an rx corolla coupe failing to get into gear in traffic on hobson st today... (dodgy clutch?!) black. not sure if its a members.. the choice of wheels and rx3 tail lights would cause most of you to flame much me thinks.

  6. Working on it every day now until it drives. Not long now...

    I sound like a Tui Add

    Too busy on every other cunts stuff, as long as you finish it and don't sell it off! Want to see this thing incinerate tyres!!!

    My problem is lack of money to pay people to do my shit and lack of talent to do it myself... lucky I have two big sheds to slow the tinworms progress down.

  7. I can't afford it at the mo so not interested anyway, just disapointed a car that is getting very hard to find is going the way of the crusher.

    Spose will make my wagons that much rarer!

    Have e-mailed old owner out of sheer nosiness... will see why it ended up there unless he had sold it to a 2nd party...?

  8. Spotted this today at a local wrecker. Not my thing but bloody hell it was showroom. I dont know why it was there. The interior was pretty stripped though. Pacemaker headers and mint under bonnet. Someone had spent a lot of time and money on this and is a waste. The ONLY damage to it is now where they lifter the car with a chain above the front pillars.

    Headers are paid for and should be on the way to me. I asked how much for the whole car, answer was 'We will not sell it and it WILL be crushed when we are done with it...' Cunts.

    I realise people are in business but there are limited people with these cars so parts are not gana fly out the door, so your comment 'What a waste' is very very accurate.

  9. yep they are big, his olds used to breed them so he ended up with them as they wernt breed standard size blah blah. used to be a little scared by one of them until he jumped up on my lap for cuddles one day lol.

    look forward to checking out his offspring, puppies of any breed are sooooooooo cute

  10. fuck success do more often and those that can make it make it! Styx looks forward to sniffing bottoms and getting his slobber on. He looks forward to seeing your dogs also!

    sundays often suck for me as we do these:

    http://www.facebook.com/#!/NeighPonyParties

    Did 2 last sunday which was a bit hectic but needs must...

    But will try attend when I can... Mrs is so lol, she has been looking at Bassett Hounds now- (yes like 'Flash' from Dukes of Hazard, Sad Sam or old Hush Puppys advertising) my vote for Irish Wolfhound was immediately dismissed.

    Chihuahua may still be on cards in crossbreed form, one of my mates purebred Pomeranians recently raped his neighbours Chihuahua x Mini Foxy which has popped out a litter.

    Mates Poms x2 are feral as fuck and crack me up, live in Riverhead and they go out hunting possums and rip them to shit when they catch them on the ground. When they escape they go up the River coming back the mud flats filthy as hell... imagine all that mud in long hair lol. And because they are lapdogs no one complains about them wandering... if my pit x was to roam our hood animal control would be all over him!

    They also have a sharpei/staffi/mastiff which is quite tiny and looks like a prehistoric dog which enjoys climbing trees and walking along the top of wooden rail fences much like a cat- crack up. All too feral to join our fun, when I took Styx around with me to a party at their place they had to put their dogs away : (

  11. Vet, Sarah took Styx down and came straight home for her. She had attacked him before but was food motivated and I was there to stop her straight away... she had chances. Still sucks though she was lovely but only to people it seems. Styx seems pretty bummed she's gone despite it all, keeps sniffing at her bed etc. He's 9yrs old and never had any kind of fight with any dog, other than the odd tiff with our old girl Vada but never any blood... just playing like dogs should. He's all shaven here and there but keen for whatever as long as we free : )

    He'd love to see some other doggies, he been playing with our guinea pigs but they not measuring up! Thinking of getting him a Chihuahua... (daughter has been wanting one for aggggges)

  12. She mauled Styx while I was away on Waiheke last friday. So she was PTS lickity split within the hour. Feel pretty dam stink about it but couldn't very well rehome a dog with issues like that. We got her as a companion for Styx when Vada passed away... worked out the opposite, she was continually trying to dominate him. OS boes who were at Bonfire witnessed her fighting with a mates pit... Styx is doing well bandages came off legs yesterday revealing multiple lacerations and 7 staples. She also had his ears, tried ripping his chest open and multiple other puncture wounds all over the show. Sux hard : (

  13. Sorry but how is that 2nd layer considered mint? if by mint you mean corroded and fucked looking then yes its mint.

    And wtf take cletus' advice immediately, you have probably halved the thickness of any steel you have touched with your grinder of doom. Those paint stripping wheels will eat rust/bog/paint without leaving a single mark on the steel- and good news too: no sparks, attack around fuel filler carefully without much worries, assuming you wanna keep tank in to keep drivable?

    Get a spraybomb of primer/etch/anything to cover bare steel if your storage isn't nice and dry- from prev pics looks like a carport?! No sense in letting it oxidise back up especially seeing you seem like me and will take a bit of time to decide what to do.

    I have forwarded your thread to a mate who is a certed welder and works for very friendly rates... I would give you his number but think you would probably be any tradesmans worst nightmare, if he thinks you will be tolerable he may be in contact about helping you out. Seems to me you want a good repair done for bodge up rates... decide which. Its an AE86 so will be money worth spending... unlike my Chevette... I don't wanna tell what I spent on the rust in the rear of my Chevini... lets just say all up (incl repower with crappy G200z) it owes me more than your old AE86 cost you to buy... and is maybe worth $4k max when I finally get it going.

    Finally how do I stop getting e-mail updates every time this thread is added to? I can never help but check every link forwarded to my email and would like to stop this one now. Please. Pretty please.
