Yup, broken again. Called it.

If my life goes to plan I'll be there in the MK1. So, see you next month

I've got a VW Passat wagon I'm looking at. But I'm worried its quite rusty, and was wondering if anyone was able to have a poke around and let me know if its a wreck or alright. Can shout some beer money if wanted

Those wheels are rad.

Haha not bad actually. Exhaust leak and handbrake. Not bad for a parts car

Haha are you? Damn it. Just till tomorrow. Damn VTNZ is closed for recheck but I've fixed it all

Haha thanks. Sorted.

Anyone know a GC in gizzy that could do me a WOF today? Shouldn't be much wrong, just don't wanna cannonball up to Auckland no wof/reg if I don't have to

I won't be able to make this sadly. The mrs is graduating that night. Derp.

What sort of bits you sitting on anyway Ben?

^ SHOTGUNNNNN

Very nice man! I don't even have a build thread for mine; I know the person who has the other two of your wheels in 4x100 on a trailer also, it was in my garage last week haha.

1963 Beetle? Pretty low though

Nice shots man! Love the way the red came out, much post processing?

Man this is some seriously impressive work, looks stupid tough. Got any equally impressive plans for that beetle in the background ?

Snapped up that NC50/Honda Express for the Sale section. Got it running after work the next day. Then the throttle jammed open somehow after I changed the mixture screws haha. What's the procedure of setting up a kill switch seeing I have no ignition barrel? Too damn scared to crank it over again as I had to jam a cloth in the air intake and my finger in the choke for literally a minute before it slowly wound down, even after kicking the plug lead off.

I see you mention selling it, curious what the ball park would be on something like this?

^ Yikes! What happened there? Looks like it cleaned up well though.

Who's the go to guy for this sorta stuff around here? I was gonna go see Murray at Webber Specs but I don't have the coin for that kind of super professional job yet. It's all I've really got left stopping me driving my MK1. Just needs a cable setup and bracket to run the twin dellortos. It had one before but it was setup so badly. Cheers

Oh sweet, thanks Cletus. I can get the tires off no problems, and I've seen the welds they look mint. So according to that my certifier should be okay with them if they are visually in good condition? I've seen them so I know I won't be wasting my time taking them off.

Just wondering if anyone has any as mine have been widened professionally but I have zero paperwork and turns out I need it for a cert. After either 15x8 or 15x7 Cheers

Haha I said we'd pick someone up and head there from Backyard, but Pauls beetle stopped charging the battery and shit itself.

30mm in the front would make this thing perfect. Well done man, looks ace.

I'll be attending with the flat mates. (2x '63 beetles, a MK1 Cortina wagon, and a sedan, a Mitsi GTO and possibly a Datsun Cherry) They are all well behaved GC's. But if parking is limited some can park elsewhere.

Surely you can't use the jacking points anymore? Mine are also useless, just grind them off? Looks fucken' sick though man!
