  1. Last year position wasnt all bad but would be nice to be more towaeds the " action"
  2. Would be nice if the dude showed up before 11 pm lol last years statment when he arrived was "you said you wanted to drink so lets drink" we were all well toasted and liqoured by then looking forward to seeing crownwags again. How long has it been brother? A year maybe?/exactly lolz
  3. Omg its coming around again. West aucklands wild weekend Il be in the van this year. Which means not sleeping with tailgate open!!!
  4. Drove it today. !!!! Had a fathers day fiddle. (With the van) stuck a ali special electric fuel pump in and cracked the bleed nipples on the front brakes. Let it dribble out for 5mins and has just enough spongy rubbing sound to haul it up from 50kms im still buzzing. Dont really remember driving it was way to excited windscreen wipers are fucked and the screens very dirty thats all I remember. And it needs 1st to get up my diveway. So all up less than a hundy buck. From dead to driving.
  5. Went to bnt hillside road today. Asked for points and condensor for a 1977 ford transit. He asked me for the rego number.............. here we go. Left with out points and condensor
  6. soo close to running. im still not a believer that the fuel pump drama is over
  7. Soooo how do u get one of these lowered? Told my dad im keeping this on standard. And he said i wont be able to. He said i would lower it within a year. Fuck that il lower it now. But im more used to chop/ swap springs and whack blocks in. Howdya do it on one of these? Reset leaves?
  8. Let tank dry out over night and gave it a good clean out today. Plugged it all back together and put it back in. Confirmed the filler hose was trash. Spose 40 years up to ya bits in leaded petrol will do that. Have got 2 new flexy joiners coming and 2ltr of brake fluid. Could it be a running driving van this weekend? guess we will have to wait for next week on..... im a transit get me out of gear
  9. And tank had a fair amount in it. Think the flexi hose that connects filler to tank has perished to buggery
  10. Thatl esplain why the go juice cant get up to the carby fuel pick up is chocka with crud
  11. Transhit shit begins. Fresh from the uk today. Thanks dad.
  12. There is no suckie blow blow on that petrol hose. And definately no one way valve on fuel pump. Is this the point where we stick a sick az polished drop tank in the back????? so tank out. I drained all the old gas. It had a varnishy smell. Eeew old!!
  13. Also installed a new secondhand fuel pump and its still not pulling gas up but if youbungy cord a gas tank to guard higher than carby and siphon the gas in it runs. It runs good. Doesnt even blow a shitload of smoke. Drove it forward a meter. Finally found reverse and drove it back some meters amd then forward again. Its almost a real deal living van
  14. Found out why it has no brakes. Like no brakes at all coz it has no brake juice
  15. Riddle me this team. Do fuel tanks have non return valves? Initially inlet on fuel pump was dry. If i siphon gas into carby it runs sweet but drop the gas can and it wont pull gas up it kinda just jiggles up the hose a bit (clear pipe for diagnosing) tbh im verging on biffing mechanial pump and going electrical
  16. So i lovingly removed the plugs and gently turned it over. Got some fresh plugs in. Checked the oil was still oil And put a battery on after changing battery and adding another battery coz ive got 3 and they were all dead. It spins. Wouldnt fire so i gave the points a quick tickle and added mor ether to the carby it fires!!!!!!!! Wont run buy itself but for 3 seconds at a time if you feed carby it runs
  17. From day dot I determined this one is staying dead stock standard. As the kray brothers would have used as a getaway motahh. Hasnt run in atleast 2 years. Has no brakes. Last reg is march 98. I did some snooping via facebook amd the old boy that had the van died in 2014. No kids or family to speak of. Aparently he used it to collect his produce in orchard. And has always been barn stored. Hence the not being rust fucked
  18. As far as i can see complete and unwelded. And not terminal with the big c.
