The Bronze

Damn son, that's some nice progress.

Interesting. And no idea tbh, I'm just a chump helping a chump.

Don't think so, it's a Parkway like this: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/caravans-motorhomes/motorhomes/6-69-metres/auction-2279187455.htm?rsqid=9e0573732b504729acc68e9072e9a654-001 Basically want to avoid doing anything that needs extra inspections and compliancing.

So here's my dilemma: I have a mate who bought a Mazda Bus converted to a camper. It's of a size it needs COF not WoF but can be car licenced. He want's to install a roof basket. He found something along the lines of this, maybe a bit bigger, with some side walls.. https://www.vehicle-accessories.com.au/image/cache/catalog/42105B-Pioneer-Platform-00-900x540.jpg Now the bus is wider, and the gutter has an awning, so it can't mount to the gutters, even if we got special brackets fabbed up. Is brackets welded to the roof (which we'll reinforced underneath) ok? Is making brackets screwed to the reinforcing underneath ok?

Irony: Currently unemployed and would be keen to meet these cunts, but the two interviews I have this week are 12pm and then 1.30pm Thursday. Also, Bexleewest much?

Is that the clear body shell one? I made one years ago. Great kit but getting the clear shell painted right was a fucking mare. And complex decals.

Slowly slowly getting there

And you can buy a breaker thing that converts them. I have one for my mig.

Is that a Morrie Resin body? I have a box of kitsets I've hoarded over the years for when I get old. Prized possessions are 2 aoshima Mad Max Falcons. Also, I like that this thread stands apart from Diecasts. Diecasts are gay. Kitsets involve real building and modding.

No questions. Statement. Bulletbirds rule. That's all. Thanks.

Haven't driven this in months. It's running and driving and I'd seriously like to sell it but I'm lazy. Hit me with a lowball offer. But I keep the supremes.

ok, got things working a bit better, so here's some details. New window felts, to clip in when paint hardens. Also might get new door glass, this one is scratched up by the old felts... Bailey Channel rubbers. Arty Sparkly unfocussed

Tumblr isn't performing so well, but you get the idea. I made some progress.

it's next week eh?

i see this thread, i go search the tard for 944s, i remember i have no money, i come look at this thread, i go search the tard... i'm in a retard loop.

This is 'painted' now. Pics when I've figured out the best angle to hide how average the paint is.

They're quite different in terms of bolt-on stuff; I had a bit of a look for my XB, and adapting stuff involves heaps of fluffing around. You can buy a bit of stuff out of oz for the pre-xflow 250 but the dollars creep up relative to output, especially in comparison to a xflow or later upgrade.

Noob question on CoFs: Working on a friends camper, and we've gutted it. Can we CoF it with no interior, and then do the camper related stuff later? Figure it's better/easier doing that while empty and repairable. From what I picked up on the Civil-ian thread that's the way to go.

its not a car show, its a faux-american lifestyle party. seems appropriate to me.

Did you buy this? Can I?

So went to the shed last night and had a fuck around, tried a Metric 8x1.25 in the hole to see if that'd be a good next step up, perfect fit. Think to myself "Oh, you're the next guy. Fuck me." and did a reassemble with the starter in and torqueing the bolt. But, it doesn't torque. Pull it out, look at the gunk in the thread. It's been filled with some sort of JB Weld/Knead It shit. So I'm looking for a 3/8 UNC tap. CarbideNZ look good but are in Palmerston North and I'd be keen to do it tonight. Anyone in auckland we'd recommend?

I'll know. The next guy. Fuck him.

One of the bolt holes that hold my starter in place is shagged. Should i attempt to retap with the same thread or drill out and step up a size? It's imperial thread so retapping the same means buying a set, stepping up I could do with my metric set. But, prefer to do it right...

Is there no official OS contingent under a banner or anything? Wheres bloody 3ontheTree when you need him?
