Sup south island peeps, A couple of weeks ago I won an auction for a sad but restorable Hino Contessa for the bank breaking cost of a dollar. Only problem was it is down in Hawea Picking it up would cost me up to a grand, and up until recently that wouldn't have been that big an issue. Facing homelessness and taking out a lease on a new workshop that needs a lot of work means I'm on the double browns and beans for a bit.. Guy I brought it off has been a real GC, his wife otherwise has it lined up for the scrap man at the very first opportunity.. So offered out to any OS boe for the cost of a box of beers for the guy in Hawea. Please someone save it from scrap, this would be a rad car with f all work.

Verify the oil pressure against an accurate gauge when warm, it's not unheard of for a Triumph or any vehicle of that matter to suffer a warn bottom end. Nothing wrong with changing the oil and doing the long overdue filter conversion, but whats the point if the crank has more slop than your mum..

yeah knick one out of an old LPG space heater, usually needs 240 volts tho, what power supply you using/need?

It looks deep on second look, will need a good tow out.. Will ring the seller today and ask if he will store it at my expense till after easter. A good excuse for a road trip, never been to Wanaka, I may combine it with the Otago rail trail which I have been meaning to do for years. If he says no and wants it gone, will have to just fork out a grand and get Captain Transporter on the case. If so, Dane I have a job for you. Just name your price to get the hulk to Wanaka

^ someone please shop that with widened steels and slammage please. Who is Captain Transporter??

So I just brought this on a whim for the grand total of a dollar Could someone recommend me a good company for freight in that part of the world? Bearing in mind it doesn't go and it's probably got stuck brakes.. Alternatively any OS boes want to make some money and bring it to Picton/Welly? Or even to a trucking firm locally? Any help, ideas, abuse welcome.. cheers.

^That, also shorter rear shocks, decent bumpstops and win at slammage.. Fork out for coil overs at front if you are flush with it

you may have to drill out the back of your hubs to suit the studs, don't forget to locate your spacers to the hub and to copper grease your wheel studs. Better living

Hell yes to that, seen Mercedes engines in passenger cars with blocked intake manifolds due to this..

I love this, please add floors and etch primer/underseal. Tune up the six and re register. Leave the paint for another day. Shall try and finish the Humber before you do then they can be twins. Also video of it running/doing skids in gravel please

there is a few, trying to get rid of the million plastic ones for nothing, will seperate and photograph all the metal ones. I'm keeping all my army jerry cans sorry..

Swweeet, gunna be rich come fri avo/not...

Of course, everybody welcome, especially you two

Done

Dunno, meant to be at Martinborough by 3 tomorrow, may delay till whenever or come back in the morning real early, survive on coffee then boost back for ceremony of life overness

will have a hunt, some lesco and similar around. Do you want moose head or Stag? I think the moose one going to Dunbars as it's valued at something ridiculous, have heaps of antlers, possums, rabbits and pukekos tho, undecided what I am keeping. Current woman will not allow me stuffed animals in the house :/ Come collect Metro 22 sometime soon too before my mates start doing stunts on it etc

Theres a few, some read dead things. This is the only black one, modeled by muah

Okay dudes and dudettes, There is a massive garage sale this Saturday, not your usual knick knacks, we talking some whack stuff collected over the decades At McGuinness Motors, 101 Gracefield Road from 9pm.. I can't be here (stupid soon to be x mate's wedding) but good deals for OS boes. Just mention my name (James) Come get some wall art, fur coats, moose heads or whatever whack shit you can find, all must go.. Will be listing what doesn't sell on tardme, also over 100 fuel cans to dispose of, free to OS members as of next week. Will post up teasers soon Chur

Check engine mounts, air leak between afm and manifold?

Lego Technics...

Down for that

Guts, just sold my Auto GLS Avenger the other day. It would have been perfect for this conversion. Will hit the guy up, it's his first car and hes bound to blow the motor or transmission soon. It and I also in lower Hutt

+1 and posse of gangsters will show/maybe just myself and kombicoma-assistwagon

def not 14, 13.5 at max, pull the thing apart, The old Lucas ones are eazy as to get the back off to inspect brushes, ten bucks says its running on one or the remains of the brushes. Have spares here if you need it, also fix your fuel leak by cranking it up g
