    I just bought a cheap $40 tire, @GuyWithAviators is helping me apply it this evening and do some other maintenance for the Auckland ride. Also @Shakotom keen man, I really need to sort a van to transport this thing.

    I will be Lifaning very shortly, my actual above 50kmph open road driving experience is zero. Will talk myself into attending I'm sure. Would normal road tires be all good?

    To white wall or not to white wall that is the question
  4. MichaelJFox
    Pining. Trying to get a few things sorted before then, tiny things. Need me some 10" tires.

    I did think about contacting some dealerships and seeing if they were looking for a cheeky lil show piece. Would be more than happy to part with it for funds to make the Chaly the dream machine.

    Haha Andrew and I already had a bunch of confused fun with that. How does it limit it? Sounds great WOT in that position though.

    I was blowing into the end of the main line seeing if it was blocked and one line (albeit the one with fuel in it) was aimed loosely at my head, it shot out filled my ear and got half my face. Feels like fire ants in your ear eh, so rinsed that out for a while and we seem to be alright now.

    Picked this thing up with the help of @GuyWithAviators few days back. Lowest KM Passola out. 33 genuine KMs from new in 1983. The original owner bought it, drove it 5kms and crashed it. The grandkids did a couple laps of the property on the grass then it was parked away for 34 years. Fast forward to now. We got it running day one, but it has a few gremlins, which I think are mostly attributed for sitting so long. Some hoses are buggered and the float was letting all my fuel out. Anyway, here's two quick pictures as I'm still angry at it after getting a literal ear full of fuel - fuck me that burnt, and is still stinging.

    I'm a big VW guy, but it seems that MK4s looove to fall apart on people.

    I've always wondered whether or not you can do that, anyone taken a scoot on the ferry?

    I finish work at 4, takes me about half an hour to get home so from then on I'll be attempting to fit it in my car but realistically it'll have to be like 6:30/7 before I can even consider the traffic from the shore back into town haha. I should really pre-load this some how, but leaving shit in Mercury Lane sounds like a good way to not have it when I get back. Would be a large amount of fuckery to bus home now then drive a car with a scoot back into work in Ponsonby.

    Any real plans for this yet? Meet up time and location?
  13. MichaelJFox
    And tightening that bloody chain before I forget, it keeps slapping my kick stand.
  14. MichaelJFox
    Thanks for the offer man! But I think it'd be even harder for me to get it there than town. I'm going to experiment with seat removals this afternoon haha.

    Anyone coming from the shore side with room on a trailer/in a van or something (potentially a Chaly & an FR80)? Would rather not have to lay shit down in the Corolla haha.
  16. MichaelJFox
    Damn I keep missing such things. @Raizer keen as - I'll have to sort my way over the bridge somehow, is that the 13th of April? I'm legit tempted to move my MK1 and get a suitable van.
  17. MichaelJFox
    HNNNNNNNNG. This god damn thing eh. 11/10.
  18. MichaelJFox
    I legit get excited every-time this thing is updated. I wish I had one tenth of your skill dude, keep killing it as this may be one of the best trucks on NZ roads once its done.
  19. MichaelJFox
    Ah jealous, this thing fuckn rules. I think mine will stay stock as a rock for a while/ever
  20. MichaelJFox
    Nah sorry mate, no spares at all. They are rather hard to come by. How bad of a state is yours in? You can buy almost all the parts from ebay/webike
  21. MichaelJFox
    My rego tags legit say "Honda Chelli" haha.
  22. MichaelJFox
    Been taking it out for many runs. Did C&C with the Moped lads @GuyWithAviators and @Shakotom etc.
  23. MichaelJFox
    Hell yeah, fuck I love Crown wags. Used to use one exactly like this to dort around a kiwifruit farm as a child.
  24. MichaelJFox
    Got there in the end. Whipped the carb out, cleaned that all up etc. Turns out it was the spark leads angle causing weak spark when it was plugged in, and normal spark when I'd test it against the back of the block.. Runs sweet again haha
  25. MichaelJFox
    Took the gas tank out and cleared out the rubble last night. Won't start for shit now, even though its getting fuel and spark. Kicked it for like 20 mins, probably flooded it. Will have another go tonight, may have to remove the carb?
