    and the wheel arch, there is was a 6mm factory hole just inboard of the tub seam in the apex of the guard for a plastic fuel line clamp to mount. Good one. I have also been here before, check out the thickness of the wob (thats me!) on the right over my last patches and the paint archaeology on the left inner arch repair patches made, getting a solid non popous base for the needed bog skim to join up the previous patches was more important than getting it perfect nice and slow tack wait, move, tack wait for less warpy, but also more grindy after skim number 42, its like it never happened apart from the offerings of oxide Car is now turned around with much the same to do on the passenger side, aiming for drag day

    base of the C pillar where pinholes in a previous repair and not cleaning out the panel seam properly have come back to bite me:

    Drivers door never quite fit right and has bubbles in front and rear corners, drivers rear door looks fine* *apart from this, from half way up the flippin window frame. What the hell, i dont even?!? The solution for these two doors are the best of the spares i have, which look pretty good except the door swing stops in the spare doors are the later 'lada' style which is all together better apart from the mods needed to my cars old style pillar mount (or the doors) to make them work together. Probably the doors... Anyway sorting the doors is now at the bottom of the list.

    So, ive extended the garage, its a shelter station modfied to suit the spot with a tarp instead - the trademe ad under-guesstimated the measurements but the mods i made meanthe van will fit under it and i can still put it up normally with the proper cover in some other place, one day. Not 100% weather proof but 100% better than nothing Anyways, 125 has sat ^there ever since the last update, but i have picked a few scabs, starting from the front:

    Top ganging all! Great way to see the city, and good times, even timed it perfectly with the weather

    sounds like you flash guys with your gears and chains and whatnot need to get on the variator and belt buzz keen as for some rolling thunder (lol) but do hope the weather holds.

    i use filing cabinets (cheap!), but agree they are not the best for not-files and are quite deep. they are good for unwieldy things like power tools etc, i put them in the drawers with one of those shallow plastic stacking bins which holds all the bits and pieces, eg grinder wheels and guards etc, grinders on top. Anyway, nice mod on the old cabinet - are you going to reuse the drawer rollers?

    Been pesting around in this over winter, been sweet, but yet to do a run to the mountain. MIL will be staying in it next week which will be the true test. Went surfin/rallying Doggo! Went up north, Matauri Bay, noone around, mint. Bit of a change from summer to be sure! Absolute Waterfront Sink set up completed, and curtains pretty much done, want to get some of them tiny super magnets and sew them into the corners to hold them in place against the bottom and sides. The last van had dome poppers to do the same job which worked well but were a bit inflexible. Tractors Goals

    wow, a+ previous ownership! Seems they knew just enough to be dangerous? i have a ka24de in my hightop LWB Caravan, goes hard for what it is etc even with a 4 speed auto, so will be uber sweet in a smaller lighter vehicle that has aerodynamics slightly better than a comedy sized washer dryer combo I think in the states they have a bit of a drift following as a underdog 'truck motor' that came in some S chassis cars, so there may even be some after market parts too? (honestly not trying to push you into going overboard on the engine swap so i can live my turd polishing dreams vicariously)

    bro, is one/both of these of any use?

    you will be a most excellent welder AND grinder by the end of this! Looks pretty much like my old blue one probably was under all the bog (had front discs and a 2.1l so it got far more love than it deserved, even from stupid 19yo me) Did the old owner abandon it after getting it blasted, seeing the holes, with the shops quote for fixing it all being the fatal blow?

    ^this, or the pump diaphragm is probably (or also) holed so any fuel it does manage to huff though will be half going into the sump. have you tried putting the pump inlet in the gas can and taking off the outlet from the pump when cranking to see if it 'pumps'? if not just chuck a new/spare pump on, its hardly going to be the only thing you will need to replace to get this old shed rolling - if its old enough design you can probably get a rebuild kit

    Re the door/fender gap, if all the othrr gaps are good run a bead on the trailing edge of the fender to close the gap up. Top work man

    Ali foil may melt and contaminate the weld. If you cant get the copper in there dont rely on it. blow throughs means too hot for the context - turn down the power a bit or change techniques? Maybe try get some 'cold' bridging tacks in to hold it together. They will soak a bit of heat and allow the pool to get going when you go over it (slowly) with another pick and peck stack of hotter tacks (instead of a bead)

    So this is living outside while the 125 sits in the garage with flat tyres Ive put foam floor mats under the carpets to keep them off the floor, but it really needs a roof. Anyway, ive swapped out the old exhaust from under the back seats back. Took out 2x offset mufflers and some patched up 1.75" pipe that both leaked and was quiet, (and fell off at nats!) and put one straight through muffler with 2.25" pipe from the croma turbo. old rubbish on top, new hotness on bottow Sounds pretty good, but now makes me want to do the rest 2x 1.5" secondaries back as far as they will go (currently to the drivers feet area) but will probably pay a guy, cause holy hell exhaust fitting is a fiddly frustrating job on your back in the rain! Also made into a magazine, NZV8 feature on Parked up Out-west from Queens Birthday
