Yeah bro that looks better, worst rust is under the handle? From shitty bog? As azzurro says they usually rust along the bottom edge, wonder what it looks like inside? I'd be looking at getting it acid dipped or something if the frame is good. Sorry to go on, but shes a fucking sweet wag!!

Old man here, all rust must completely removed and killed dead in the face, that an't patina.

need "corvette" plastic valve covers nice work man.

Sounds good mate, bit more poke than the old engine eh??

holy mint looking car batman!!!

Went to a small Hot rod get together last night. managed to find a friend. perfect day for it!

Shit yeah, Summer! BBQ, beer and bug down by the beach.

full AC?

finally got the proper camera out on friday evening, car was looking pretty in the sunshine. bell and her friend had to get in on the action.

house looks great, now fix that kurb.

Waste not...

Front end off your other machine of mayhem?

Hey man, congrat's on getting the blower working you clever bastard. I was wondering if there is a reason the stays are vertical in both of the above pics? Your wing would be unsupported in the middle and at both ends? maybe inverse the stays? Spread the load across the wing better? Neat idea though man.

yeah, I made it to one of these. Nice to chat with some of you fulla's, had to bail early, the sprogs were getting scratchy.

Cool man, more pic&posts please.

GIZ!

Well that was a interesting 2 hour lunch brake. These brakes are gunna brake me, I just can't catch a brake, the colonel brake dancing, Gimma a brake!This is what happens when you install your hard brake lines before you install your shocks, everything looks fine, clears nicely, close but nice, then add the shell, fenders and other panels, engine, interior, passengers etc...the very tip of the flare on the end of the shocks dust cover was just touching just enough to do this, dunno who built this bloody thing! fortunately the same idiot installed a twin circuit system, so I was able to get off the motorway, but once I stopped had a look underneth the air had got in and I had hardly any brakes at all!

Hey Guys, remember me? Still driving this thing everyday, been trying to get the brakes to work better, had the handbrake button pop off the other day, I had never really adjusted it much, it worked, I had other things to sort out, so i put it back together and carried on. After the button came lose again I realised it was because I hadn't adjusted it tight enough and the clicker was running off the end and undoing its self So, put it back together again and adjusted it more and whatya know? the pedal feels much better too! Not sure how that works but it's much nicer to drive without the pedal going right to the firewall.Re greased and adjusted the king and link pins this week, gave the front drums and bearing a tickle while I was at it, again, much nicer to drive. I also sorted something that had bothered me for years before I took it off the road. The breather on the oil filler would just spit oil mist out all over the back of the engine lid, originally I had a neat little K&N filter here, but after a month or so it got blocked and oil pissed out of the dipstick hole and made a mess. Screwed a right angle fitting in and a length of hose out down under the tinwear with all the other oil leaks and went for the a drive. Whats wrong with Huntly? made it to my parents in Te Kowhai. photo op at the meeting of the watersstill need to get that sunroof replaced and really needs a couple hundard kgs of dynamat, with earplugs its fine. And those assholes need to finish that motorway in and out of Auckland!Stuck in gridlock at one in the afternoon because State Highway 1 is one friggin lane

so you might say "it goes hard for what it is?"

This is coming along nicely. Fancy pants push button gearbox? As I need to do some dynamatting one day, whats the problem? just one of these cunty jobs?

absolutely amazing bro.

Haha, funny clocking cars you know but never met the owner, I've seen you beast around over the years, parked down the concourse sometimes and around the place. Have always wanted to get the front a little lower, but now I don't know, I'm happy with it.

what are these engines and where do you get them from? you do have some choice toys!

all the mk's!
