I had the Mk1 Sport, Capella and SI Civic at the same time. Life was different back then!

JUst want to make sure we do it once and right as not a job i want to be doing twice.

Worth noting that not all panel beaters are created equal! Have a talk with someone like Tony at Custom Metalshapers in East Tamaki if you want it done right. Ive seen alot of people spend a heap of money on body work from local panel beaters only to end up disapointed and out of pocket. There is a reasonable chance that the new rockers and pans won't be a direct fit without mods and this is where people like Tony with well equiped workshops (best ive seen) really add value. Who ever you use ask to see their shop and if it consists of a mig and some tins of bog best try somewhere else.

Make it 3, I'll need one for my HMX too, lol

The tyres you are after are comp 3 pattern gum/skinwalls, cant say I have seen any blue ones.

Try Porkchop BMX for the blue tyres. My bro got some for his HMX last year. Were cheap too.

How is this crazy at all? It makes perfect sense to me, and tbh it is worth it, a 32 with guards looks shit.

can the mods please add a dislike post button!

Cheers guys, need to get cracking and finish stripping to go off to be sandblasted...

Need more time in the day!!

Who are you going to use for your blasting?

I played with different cam profiles, porting and balancing etc but the best gains came from a pair of 40 DCOE's.

All the specs and sizes are in the attached catalogue. If you need anything from FPP.co.nz mention you saw it on the Oldschool website or that Andrew from Penrose branch sent you there. Let me know how you go or PM me if you can find a better price on any stocked items (in NZ) and I will look at it further.

Awesome project. Looking forward to seeing progress. Are you going with a static drop or bags/juice?

I do King Tony through my shop. I will see if they do separate handles tomorrow. I just got one of their panel sets for myself mainly for the dollies. Aslong as you get hickory handles you should be good. What make are your hammers?

Who do you work for? and who is your King Tony / F&G rep?

Steve looks after our account.

Digging those colours. You going with shiney, satin or flat black?

$257 for a mudflap......wtf?

Was advised of a quote for a new hilux gearbox a few years back. $22K. Not fitted.

Possibly, but it looks like a horrendously hard piece to make. I think I would have got two flat pieces, welded them in the middle and then spent 2 years filing it to shape. That said I no nothing about panel work.

five minutes with a body hammer and a piece of 4X2 and it would be sweet.

I use PA10 or a simular etch. Basically new steel is new steel though and will be good for another 20 years.

What is the car?

I have seen it done locally in the past and rodders "box" chassis alot. I would however be very careful about purchasing a car that has had the chassis wrapped in the states etc or been juiced for that matter. Cletus will be able to give you the definitive answer on this.

My tappet cover is cast aluminium with "Anglia" stamped on the inside

therein lies your problem. You need one with "escort" stamped on the inside.... the covers know the difference lol

I dont think there is a difference between the Escort and Cortina covers and Anglia's didnt run a crossflow engine that I know of.

nice yeh i saw i couple frames he did at t whites the other day. Looked swish. Aparently he has correct yellow for hmx500 on tap aswel which is good.

how much it cost for that bike?

I had my trutest frame and forks done at the same time and blasted them myself so hard to say. Ring Tim and he will probably quote over the phone.

i was guna ask about this aswel. Need to get some forks done. Guna goto procoat like andy said. Looks of the internet says hes the man for bikes. Now thinkig i might just get the forks done in powdercoat to match the frame. Cheaper to import some mint chrome forks off ebay

Tim did this Mongoose Cali Pro for my daughter frame/forks.

Just got these back last week. Previous owner had given the OG chrome a good dealing to with a scraper so it was pretty rough. Budget around $80-$100 to have something this size done. I had them done through Tim at Procoat in East Tamaki who gets them done in Hamilton. A mate had his BSA Bantam handle bars done at the same place and I think they were about $70. If it makes you feel any better the grill and bumpers on my coupe will be closer to $5K.
