im not a fan of them either but if I ever get something free.. i use it as much as i can lol..

ahaha, it WAS (cause it was free).. now its a smaller one that i got from trademe $1reserve lol.. so just solder it to the coil Neg and it'll be sweet?

so if its shorter than the shock.. does that mean u dont have to compress it fuck all to get it back into the strut?

so if mine was flickering up sometimes, does that mean my condensor or something was a bit shotty?

yeah i want shorter struts and shocks.. but nobody as a thing for a 78 hunter these days.. the best thing repco could do for me was send me to this guy who makes shocks.. disappointing repco..

what does wiring it to the negative on the coil do? does it just give off a voltage which the calibration of the tacho converts or something similar? because i had one a while ago and it kept flickering up and down a bit.. may have been a shit gauge but there may be another reason?

saw them on trademe about 3 months ago..? if you know what those type of wheels are called or anyone does.. then just look up on google or something.. you're bound to find at least one pic of some widened ones..

how can it be lower and still captive.. never understood that theory

i have seen these or something similar to these that were 7.5 inches wide but i think they were made like that.. not sure

so did he just get custom springs and that was it? or shorter shocks aswell?

yeah, but i cant get either springs or shocks for my car anywhere.. i was thinking if i just shorten the strut, im gonna need shorter shocks so the strut fits back in.. and i need new shocks anyway cause mine are completely gone

you could try somewhere like mastertrade or an engineering shop?

im wanting to lower the front of my hillman hunter.. but I wanna do it by getting shocks made, that are shorter than the standard ones (by about 2.5") and shorten the strut too.. anyone have any ideas on where i can get shocks made up or a better way of doing it?

So i unbolted the mounts, jacked the engine up, and swapped the crossmember with one I got from Tom Scott from Tas Automotive But: Now its off the road again, massive hole in the exhaust, so while that happened, i thought i may aswell start doing the tints (got 50% the way through and ran out) At least the cat is happy enough with it got some twin carbs, got some off some dude in hamilton for cheap off trademe.. took apart my single carb and used some parts from it.. but because my car was made to be single carb and had the exhaust heated manifold.. when i put on the twin manifold I had a hole in the top of the exhaust manifold... so i sent a plate to bubblegoose and he welded it up and made a stud for a heat shield ..and hes manking me an airbox and catch tank.. when i get them up from him i can get the exhaust fixed and il be good to go:D So as you can see i put the twins on, just need the plate and airbox now

still.. pretty impressive lines for a hunter i thought absolutely fucked the crossmember, did a nutty as skid a different day and then boom. the gearstick was wayy to the right hand side of the tunnel hole, so i got a new gearbox mount without really checking what it was... ...turns out it wasnt the mount lol.. got a spare one now i guess? this was the problem.. when it should look like this.. and the mount had no rubber left lol

and then once i fixed up all that.... it was ready.. DUN DUN DUN.. WOF time :D:D Wooo.. the very next morning i discovered the hunter leaves some pretty tidy lines in the wet ...and then about 25 minutes later i got a $900 fine... ...and followed to school hahah Had a little.. "mis-hap" with the air filter unit.. It kinda fell onto the exhaust manifold and melted, and now my "flame trap" is melted shut too Thought I may aswell replace the old waterpump With this nice new shiny one and the thermostat housing.. (bought 2 thermostat housings by accident lol.. (so i have a spare if anyone needs one?)- WOB72 is the part No.

got the indicators and all that shit working, new water pump, new thermostat housing (Cost me $120!!!) and $80 for the top part, new hoses etc. cut out the heater hoses cause the heater cose was blocked somewhere. And i had to cut some of the hoses to make the gauge sensor fit for the water temp then i discovered that the rear wheel cylinders were absolutely fucked.. had different ones on each side and only 1 piston out of both cylinders worked... and the front pads were down to the bare steel. that would explain why the brakes fuckd out lol And yes... This is a brake pad believe it or not.

had some spare paint so i sprayed my spare bikkies aswell haha

i decided to spray my plates in matt black again with some tape over the lettering

got some modgies off someone on trademe with mint tread on the tires (the back ones were new) with 185/60s ...they look better after a bit of a clean

i got a monster tacho cheap off a mate so i put it in (even though it looks ridiculous and broke after like a week lol)

with everything back on, now i could start having a bit of a play around Put in some trisco gauges... along with a panel i made then decided i didnt like them, so changed to auto gauge ones and painted the panel black ...and installed a stereo and 6x9s (for now) still have some 6inch ones to go in when i can be bothered

now its time to put everything back on all new gaskets made a little adaptor plate and using a skyline pod filter adaptor i was able to use a poddy Well that didn't work, 2 days later it fell off because the plastic had broken.. I'll have to use the standard air filter

checking the points, not the best but they'll do for now as you can see the top of the rotor is fucked lol.. heavy ass backfire caused that to happen

time to get the valves and springs back in
