@rb drifter @mk2marty @ESKIN8R @bigfoot So who is planning on turning up for this. Just trying to figure out what I need to get.

Address is 896 SH14, Maungatapere. Directly opposite the top of Newton Rd. If you're coming from town and the traffic is heavy, you can pull in to the top of Newton Rd and wait for the traffic to clear. 7pm onwards Wed 20/1/21 , I can grab things for the bbq, just BYO drinks/snacks. Let me know who is planning on coming so I know how much to get.

We could have a meet at my place I suppose? I am in the middle of some pretty major renos in the kitchen, but the bbq works/I have a pool table? Plus the Datsun should be in the shed by Saturday, finally getting it moved from my parents place this weekend all going well.

I'm keen, don't have an OS car atm, but can take my daily or jump in someone elses? Do we have an idea on a date for the December meet? So much shit going on it would be good to get it booked in early.

Gonna have to say I won't be there sorry, today is the day I go unconditional on the house so have that to sort after work, as well as final prep for this trip and mad panic packing as settlement date is 3 days after I get back. Excuses excuses, I know, but I just need the extra time. Yáll have fun now.

I also purchased a house, and settlement is 2 days after I get back, so there's that. Haha not that it's a competition. I'll try make sure I am there, I do need to be more social.

Will do my best to be there, but I am flying out to Wellington for a week and a half the next day so may need to do some packing depending on how organised I am.

I bought mine from Union Hardware 1998 Ltd, in Wellington. They have a sister store called Car Colours in Auckland on the North Shore. It was still expensive, but even with shipping it was still significantly cheaper than what I could get it for locally in Whangarei (only 1 retailer here who sells it, that I know of). They have semi regular sales too which brings the price down a fair bit. But yeah, definitely cheaper 2 pot liner options out there.

Not a certifier, but my old Zuk had one to account for the suspension lift, and it was certified with the spacer noted on the cert plate. Pretty sure it is fairly common for lifted 4wds. However I imagine there are limitations on these in terms of construction , thickness, material etc. I think mine was an off the shelf part rather than custom made as it was anodized blue. So would pay to double check with an actual certifier/WOF person.

Yeah same here, had a fair bit on this week, meant to say I wouldn't be there but forgot. Keen as for next month.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2724564528 I'm going to give this stuff a jam on my barwork, sprayed with a schutz gun, so if I get there before you go ahead and do yours I'll let you know how it comes out. I've read and watched a few reviews and it looks to be fairly decent. Definitely can't beat the price too, and the store is local to me, but shipping isn't horrendous.

Am here, stayed in town after work. If anyone else is here early and sees this lemme know, I’m just in the car.

Count me in. Have followed the topic so will check back periodically for details.

Thanks @Roman, yeah about 16 months on now the old back is about as healed as it will ever be, but mostly good. It's all starting to take some sort of shape, which is good, still hoping to get it done this year, but so much has come up financially/in general that it might be a bit of a mission. Definitely ready for Nats 2021 though.

I am still working on this thing. Took some photos today as I dragged it out of the shed to turn it around to do some work on the drivers side. Don't judge me too harshly, obviously there a lot of things half done on this, but I reckon it's looking good. I call the look Mad Max meets prerunner. Next goal is to get all the bar work finished and drag it in to work to get it blasted and primed so I can put some raptor liner on it.
