Any plans for disposing of those valves? I'd happily take them off your hands if you were ok with it.

This is quite lush

Anyone else seeing a Japanese Buck Shelford?

You're not one of those dirty scaffolders that whistles at all the first year lasses when they walk past are you?

This is the internet. A place where man can be whoever/whatever he wants to be simply by changing his avatar. Anonymity is the sacred cow of this realm.

Facebook can fuck right off.

There's a few of us in engineering

Good to see this car's getting around like the beautiful lass she is.

TOP TIP:When you get the chance, have a look under the front tweeter cover (It should come off quite easily). You might score yourself a tin or two from one of its previous owners

Have fun and take good care of her.

Whats the bet they won't even charge the cunts mrs?

I still think the seat could do with a touch up. Have you got a boat/car upholsterers nearby? For $30/box of waikato they would do the whole stitched leather look (albeit vinyl) and it would be the cherry on top of this sweet sweet cake.

This thing is flippin rad!

Anyone got 1500USD?

This thing is rad to the core! Any ideas for a seat? Flat or race spec? Keep up the good work.

have this surplus to requirements if you want it cheap. think it's 2.5 or 3", brand new.

 

 

How much would you want for this? Im pretty keen mostly because the Smiths are one of my favourite bands haha

Nah keep it strictly mechanical I reckon. Gages and dials win over LEDs any day.

My grandfather used to have a gun metal grey turbo cosmo with red interior when I was a kid. It could be started with a screw driver and we all thought it was hideous and "square looking". Granddad himself used to call it "ä heap of shit". Sometimes you wish you could go back in time and give your former self a smack for being so ignorant. I remember after he died (2001) we put it on the trade and exchange and a couple of lads from the Waitaks picked it up for $1700 without the number plates. Anyone know what happened to granddad's cosmo? I hope its still alive and getting a good thrashing like it deserves.

I'm good mates with the guy who used to own this a couple of years ago. Some of my fondest memories were of cruising around town late at night causing general ruckus and having good times listening to choons. Highlights were road tripping down to the south island doing skids where permitted. Great car! . Ahh the good old days when you could pick up a chaser for less than 3k   Treat her nicely Kurt... the ghosts of many youths haunt its lush red interior.

Holy shit you're garage is sweet!

That last pic was rather delicious

Long time lurker- thought I'd contribute for once. This is my 1792 Honda CB125. I bought the bike fully stock last year and it was in dire need of some rat spec mods. It is over 40 years old so classic rego will make me smile.

Just waiting for the throttle assembly to arrive as well as some less chrome/shit looking indicators.

Future plans:

-Figure out some rad method of attaching the license plate. I was thinking of having it swivel by a hinge from the back of the seat (yes, it is a skateboard ).

-Possible engine rebuild

-Definitely give it an overall performance tune

-Find some dodgey workshop in Onehunga that will give me a WOF

-Learn to ride it

Below is a MS paint rendition by my brother of what it would look like to ride.

Sorry about that. Spent a while trying to figure out where I should post it. Cheers for the help too.

Im looking for some thin gauge sheet steel (non galvanized, non stainless steel) about 0.5mm thick that would be easy to shape and weld. I've tried the ol' Bunnings ware whare but they only have thin gauge aluminium.

Cheers

this looked soo tuff at the jap meat. shame about the pointies being so ugly though

hehehehe

haahahahahahahahahaha mean!

The size of testicles required to go above 100 on this death trap would be bad for aerodynamics.

^hahaha, this made my day

^ Holy shit pickle
