oops completely forgot about this, again.

what if its factory tank with a filler in the boot, just the spill ring, drain etc or sealed boot?

shit seems like just the other day for the last one, will be there for sure

are the rails actually bent? could you just do a rear cut from the original car to this one?

as simon says, fish oil/cavity wax for places such as chassis rails, inside doors pillars etc, but for the likes of the patch you've just done I would've used a weld through primer and just sprayed all the parts involved.

well now i'm wondering whats going on. I changed the altenator last weekend to a second hand one i've had for a while, barely drove the car all week but it seemed ok, was charging etc, now I drive back to napier tonight and light starts flashing again, as the light flashes on my headlights got brighter. god dam electrics. anyone have any ideas?

soreted now, was voltage regulator

a spot welder would be perfect lol otherwise yeah drill a hole and plug weld it, you will get distortion that way though

god you guys are quick, I wondered if 15 was a bit high, would this have done any damage to the altenator or battery/electrical system

went for a drive today (Napier to palmy and back) and my battery light was flashing on then going off again for most of the trip then about a couple of k's from home it came on and stayed on, when I stopped there was a smell of hot/burning electrics and the altenator was pretty hot (not sure if it normally is). I tested the battery and it had about 15v running with lights and radio on. I have recently replaced the brushes and bearings in the altenator. its got me beat, any ideas?

interested in this too, both my project and car I'm hoping to buy have been out of the system for ages and I have no proof of them being on nz roads (except code on ID plate saying its nz new, not sure if thats enough) but in this case can you not just get it revinned the way you do if you brought in a car from overseas?

na he's an eit trained mechanic lol

shit I forgot too, will have to make a better effort next month

keen as. anyone know roughly how much accomodation there is

thats the one, will let you know mate

auction's ending on Wednesday bro, have asked him for more pics so maybe viewing might not be necessary

Am looking at buying yet another EK holden in palmy (or thats where the auction says) but really need someone to have a look at it for me if possible, havent been in contact with the seller yet though Cheers JK

pretty much keen for anything, karts sounds mean,I did like cock n bull, means I get a decent feed during the week, not so keen on getting lost in ham though, almost need to buy a gps just to find os meets lol

to be honest you can't beat a good tank off clean out and if you have an alloy ptr (plastic tank rad) a clean out shouldn't cost much more than 75 bucks, well thats what i charge anyway, in this case I'd be getting one of those flushes from repco and putting it through then taking the rad out for a tank off flush. however I've never had experience with these crystals however would be dubious about them eating the tank seals

cheers for the offers guys, ended up doing a mission on tuesday night and getting it, already in car and all go but thanks anyway

I'm looking at buying a gearbox from whakatane, am just wondering if anyone is going to be travelling between whakatane and any place closer to matamata with spare room for a gear box

can pick up and bring the smaller stuff for you bro, tirau is only ten minutes up the road from me, unfortunately no way of me getting a motor and box though

have been given the so I'm leaving thursday night, which way are Ham boes going/where is a good place for me to meet you guys without coming to ham first preferably

pending decision on my time off I'll be leaving thursday after work, tag onto convoy where I can

just do as described in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26760&hilit takes bugger all effort, front bumper took me about 10 minutes max, back could do with another going over
