Looks fucken' sweet man. Wish I had the know how to get mine like that -__- Gotta let it dissolve till' I can afford the rust work ha.

Have had a poke around, gonna check everything I can think of soon, clean all the mental air lines everywhere on these things. Another thing is it started running like a pig again today, maxing out like 20 up a hill misfiring like fuck, almost stalling when I come to a halt, but when I put it in park or neutral it runs fine?!

Oh, I have no idea. Would a photo of the engine bay help? I had a look into the carbs yesterday and from what I could see everything moves alright, and moves back.

Will you be coming through Dunedin? As I mayy (who knows) be bidding on a set of 15" mags. Closes on the 18th, guess we'll see how broke I am.

Has been running decently (bit fucked) till' like, a few days ago. Shudders like a bitch when taking off and won't start running smooth till up about 4,500rpm then it goes like a stabbed rat. Probably a stupid question, but I've got a cold and cbf'd thinking. Replaced fuel filter cos' I ran it near dry but no luck. Timing? Cheers. Steed in question;

Fml. I need to learn to weld or swap it for a push bike. (Hamish come make me a floor plz haha) Theres more holes in the firewall but camera was being a bitch. Haven't had a car for over a year and life throws me this shit. Brilliant. If anyone has an uber cheap wof/reg thing in the south island do holla. Cheers Edit; Borg or anyone who knows a lot about these things, got any great ideas on how to set up the accelerator linkage as the way it was was just terrifying.

Got it going, engines sounds alright. Accelerator pedal/floor area is a different story, will post pix in project thread.

Got a solid spark, and new plugs now. But every time it tries to fire it just throws a shit load of fuel out the top of the carb?! Guy who did this horrible conversion swears he had it running so timing can't be so far out that it doesn't fire. Any info would be awesome cos' I'm getting so sick of this cunting thing.

Alright, checked the coil feed directly and it starts off good then dies down and eventually stops, last like 10 or so sparks..? What should I be blaming for this?

Yeah, Will get sparky to look at timing. But we lost spark randomly after cranking it over a few times, we'd run it with one spark plug and see a spark, then plug them all in and try run it, fuck all would happen so I'd take the first plug out to check it again, and nothing =/ As I said we even swapped coils etc. They had it running in Auckland at the shipping place even with the dizzy cap not on properly so I can't figure out why its being a cunt here.

Finally got my car back, after a year, everything done cowboy as fuck. But I'm trying to get the fucken' thing started, but it just keeps cranking over without sputtering into life. Found the dizzy cap was on 180 degrees wrong, switched that back and plugs accordingly. Took the spark plugs out and cleaned them due to be covered in fuel from attempts, took it out and looked if they were sparking properly, did for a while then seamed to die down, swapped coils over and seamed to be a solid good spark. But then plugged everything in and tried, nothing. Took spark plug back out to test the spark and fuck all happened. Carb is squirting fuel, had a look at that. My only thoughts left are the timing is years out? Got an auto electrician friend coming to have a peek on Saturday, but thinking I may have missed something thought I'd ask for some info. SWEET.

Finally got the car after so much fucken' bullshit. It's here, won't start, rough job. Can't be fucked, will post pix tomorrow.

Looks sick man. What's the deal with fitting the valves to the bags for a static ride height, is that certable? Seams like a cheaper less show-boating approach to bags. But you can still adjust if your carrying more people or something, seams like a good idea.

Just talked to my mechanic, finally being shipped tomorrow, another thing I won't have a car for. Fantastic

Haha, I won't be coming up that weekend due to a few things, but I will surely be seeing you when you're down here, sometime this week yeah?

Useless mechanic has been fluffing around with it for like 9 months and never actually doing anything. Story of my life. Sweet deals. I've got the plague (bit of a cold) so yeah, probably won't be doing any drinking and what not.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! Cunt's still got my car in Auckland. Hamish, go slap a bitch after EMMURE thanks haha

Should have car by weekend, will be keen to drive up to CHCH if everything is running sweet.

Rofl yeah the second I saw jay and silent bob in the title I clicked

haha, the code?

Haha, oh shit, righto. All goods, don't have a car at the moment anyways.

What are we discussing here? I've gotta be around here on the 23rd for a flight, what dates all this going down? (Is drinking)

Fuck that looked like mean fun. Uber jealous I didn't make that.

Ah sweet sweet. Nice car though dude.

Giz Swap you merc etc
