  1. Really enjoyed rolling out in the Hillman last night! What a rad little car, looking forward to what the future holds for her.
  2. Got the rego etched into the glass this week, its a small point of difference but I am pleased with it. Discuss http://oldschool.co....ort-discussion/
  3. Stoked, my wife is on day shift so I will be able to attend
  4. My plate arrived I also replaced rear wheel bearing today as the L/R was getting noisy as hell. It was surprisingly pain free for a Sunday morning job using the bare minimum tools which was nice. The difference it has made is fantastic!
  5. Dohc zc's are good fun in a Shuttle! As SiRge said we pretty much did the swap on my one in a weekend. It took a while to sort all the nigly shit (we did manual conversion at the same time) and in all honesty I never got it sorted 100% No ABS or A/C in my one so can't help there. I miss my Shuttle
  6. The last month has been a good one. Relocated the battery to the boot and did a sound enhancement using a coby in place of the center muffler. Potato pics incoming Coby I also found some pics online of when she was getting painted
  7. This followed by wax (Y) I have an EL Fairmont and the headlights are notoriously bad and that is what I do.
  8. The swapmeet part was pretty shit. A few mates got some good deals here and there. The car park was pretty rad with heaps of cool shit. I failed at taking pics as I was waaaaay too hungover for that. Top part of the day was playing with this badass Beetle on the way home. Bloody thing gave the poor Esky a fright!!
  9. The rocker cover gasket has been leaking for some time but due to the summer season, working 6 days and having car events on most Sundays it has been put on the back burner. bought my $7 gasket this week and then last night I got all motivated and decided to start pulling shit a part in order to paint the r/c while it was removed. After a couple of hours and a cup or 2 of coffee I was happy with the prep'd surface. Got up nice and early this morning and laid down a couple of layers of silver basecoat I then layered on the anodized purple and ended up with this Chucked the gasket on and reinstalled While I was waiting on paint drying I painted the rear bumper satin black to match the front Pretty stoked with the outcome. I have intentions of relocating the battery, changing the route of the heater hose, painting or wrapping the extractors and getting some pretty HT leads but as with everything it all takes time.
  10. Thanks brother! Next time you are in Best city I will take you for a "spirited" drive!
  11. I may need to send you the plates once they are made for that!!
  12. Yes this is something I have conflicting emotions about also.
  13. Not a huge update but an update none the less. First off, yet another OS member has been generous enough to donate to this car! After seeing my pics and noticing my temporary oil cap he hooked me up with a spare one he had at the last OS meet!! Much love brother! After searching for number late lights that don't cost $60 odd dollars each from Palmside I decided to go with some LED ones from Repco. They were a good price, look modern, are hella functional and don't look like shit. To me that is a win. Next up with another functional piece of equipment. An aftermarket Tach. I have mounted it for funtion and IMO in the least horrible place I could. I also put the first sticker on her. I'm not going to plaster decals everywhere but this one seems to fit the car really well. and finally... For my birthday my lady put my personalised plate on layby Looking forward to getting it on the car once it is all paid!!
  14. Colour is gorgeous and Hotwires are rad! Love your work bro!
  15. +1 for SupplyRoom. Good food, good beer and good staff.
  16. Such a rad wagon getting along the road! Gave ya wave yesterday evening going around Paremata
