Yeah sorry @yoeddynz not much has been happening with this lately, been pouring all my money into this stupid v3000 and trying to finally get the green l300 legal. So yeah nothing to report sorry guys! It lives at home now though. Have a picture.

Don’t reaaallllllyyyy fancy catching AIDS. It would be saveable and is rego on hold but it is purely for parts, has all the good bits I need for mine, LSD, good rust cuts, and bonus in the back it had some mint extractors, a spare driveshaft and a spare 2wd gearbag. Not a bad gig at all. Fuck I’m tired now though. Then I gotta fly to Tauranga at 6 tomorrow morning for work ughhhhh.

It was..... until I bought that hahahaha

Yeah stupidly spur of the moment decided to drive down and pick it up last night, currently coming through dunners now haha.

Yeah so there’s some champ down in gore getting rid of a complete L300 which would be fantastic for parts for mine. Only thing is it needs to be gone by sundee. And I don’t have the time to go grab it in that timeframe. Is someone able to store at theirs until I can find the time to come grab it? Chur bros.

Look forward to lunchtime beers and a steak with you pests. Probs gonna bring the v3000 out for a laugh.

Yeah I nicked all the hydraulic clutch gear off the galant too, I think I'll do the same, just run supershift until it goes pop. Cause I'd say the linkages will be a nightmare, and I'm not all that keen to drill holes in firewall to mount clutch master and whatnot. Yours must go pretty well I'd imagine with 170hp or near enough?

Yeah that’s going to be difficult, I’d rather keep the supershift anyway. Which clutch did you use?

So I picked up this e33a galant half a year ago with intentions to fix it up and flick it on. Then the end of year break up drinks resulted in it ending up ass end into a moxy dump truck hahaha whoops. But because of this it’s a write off so plan is to put the DOHC 4G63 into the little mirage! Gonna see how it goes bolting up to the supershift but I suspect with triple the factory power up its date it won’t last long. So yesterday I pillaged motor, box, ecu, loom etc from the galant. Probably will end up running the 5 speed because I will run the brakes from the galant in the mirage so will use complete front hubs so won’t have to dick around mating them up to mirage ones which are quite different. And also means I can use original driveshafts too hopefully if they aren’t too long. But yeah that’s the next stage in this little critters life. Don’t see it happening at a rapid pace but would like to have it done and certed by the end of the year.

Also whos keen to go to/enter Selwyn motorfest on Sunday?

Right, so it’s been 2 weeks since this came into my possession. Have done clutch master and slave cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, got good parts off of the other ladas, polished all the chrome (which has come up amazing! Fitted brake master off of yellow lada which was good but doesn’t seem to want to bleed up, fitted the good fuel pump from the yellow lada too so it now runs and drives under its own power! Have also polished paintwork, it’s pretty crap really but did shine up ok! Took it to the chachacha auto fiesta meet up today, bit dodgey only having handbrake but all went well! Does get pretty hot though, never went into the red but did get close. Drives really bloody well actually! Oil cap was pretty milky when I checked but hoping it was just some condensation as oil is still golden and coolant is still green. Ohyeah I also gave her the much needed slam treatment today too! Looks much better. Here it is in all its low glory.

We'll come out with the sprog for a bit, will probably just be a morning ordeal though.

Yeah I absolutely love them eh! Everything about them is so cool. One will probably be up for sale eventually.

Scrubbed it up today! Came up pretty damn well I think. Still stinks from Saturday night when we were sitting in it smoking cigars though hahahahaha. And I’m super happy it came with the complete factory toolkit in the bag!

Ahhhh no idea what road we took but it was hell steep. My poor ranger was almost in 1st gear haha Fucking google maps.

I really hope this works haha. Old yella https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1968099016540179&id=100000202994315

Yeah you too man! Fuck coming over that hill with a car trailer again though haha

3 into 1 maybe turn one into a burnout car or something down the line haha

Hahaha man she’s lenient, we’re at 12 cars now, no idea how I’m still with her.

Ok progress of some description! After grabbing the red wreck from nightcaps I got told of another 2102 in mosgiel probably half a year ago. So finally got my ass into gear and Karl, Harry and I made our merry way down there this weekend and picked up this absolute gem. As always I was pretty nervous as it’s a fairly decent hike to get a car I had never properly seen. But alas she turned out to be better than expected! Still has spots of rust but nowhere near as bad as the other 2. Didn’t take much to get her going as well, fuel pump wasn’t doing anything so we horied up some fuel hose and connected it straight to the carb and then bam, she fired into life and idled and ran beautifully. There was no clutch or brakes though so she was pushed onto the trailer and back to Dunedin top 10 holiday park we went. Shot back to chch today after looking in numerous car paddocks on the way there and back. So yeah really glad I didn’t do anything serious with the other 2 as this one is the main man now, dereged like the others but a much better base to start from! Have some pics!

Ahhh so we meeting Wednesday?

So are we doing kaikoura hop this weekend as discussed at the pub the other weekend?

They looked to be black spray paint/primer lines almost like he was going for the bogan look. Also dash was fucking stickerbombed hahahaha

Awwww heelllll nawwww, cunts love the rage. First time I’ve driven it since it went for it’s wof in April, shit I forgot how good it is on fuel, was like 12 bucks to Amberley and back from Hornby.

I came, I saw, I left.
