Seedy Al Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 oooooooooooooooooooooooh Right So this weekend Is the Weekend Of the 4 and rotary Jamboree at Manfeild, and I have been asked to enter this in the show under the oldschool name, So I am! So figured better change it up again. So i got the 14x8's stripped and powder coated Jet black. They look freaken amazing, although I did equally like just rusty steels as they suited the rat look of the wagon. ANywyza In prep for runnign the wheels, i had to do some mods. Last time I tried to run these wheels the selector on the auto was the lowest part of the car, and over mild bumps it would smash into first. not good! So I had a play and have managed to get it nice and high, and still working sweeeeeeeeeeet as! I also made a smash plate for the sump, as it has some pretty sweet scrap marks on it, and I'm worried if it gets more its going to start leaking haha. So glad one devision of my work is engineering, Made cutting and bending 3 mm steel real real easy! So with those mods, took it for a drive today (bought some fancy wheel nuts too, THEY ARE RED!) and its really good. The exhaust is now the lowest part, and only scrapes on the odd bump. So have figured out how that could be fixed, but not before the weekend. And I also have a collection of Old toristy flag things (two thanks to Kelvin, you great man you), but they didnt fit over my CB ariel. SO thanks to the use of my lovely mother she unstiched and re sewd them for me, and cleaned up the edges so the dont fall apart! And on top of that she made a custom one for wellington haha. I love mums. (IRL) Also spent a few hours polishing the chrome. Fuck its easy to forget just how much difference it can make. Should do it more often, but I hate doing it haha Anyway. pics. And yeah.

Seedy Al Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Oh Right. So today is offically 6 months since I got the old girl back on the road and legal. And in that time I have had the most fucken fun out of a car (well maybe, what i should say is the most use) Its been so trouble free and epic, have done 4200 miles in those 6 months, not to bad i think for an old bus. Events Covered Hawkes Boes New years Wag nats Kumeu 4 and Rotor Jamboree OS Nats plus other cruisers etc Would like to thanks Spencer really for telling me I should buy it and giving me a sweet price. He did all the hard work, I just did what needed to be done for legal driving. So Anyway, hats off to you Mr Crown, you have been serving me well over the last few months. Where to from here only time will tell, but there are plans, and they should be good. However depending on the plans this maybe coming off the road for a bit, un sure as of yet. Also Won 'How is that so slammed' at oldschool.co.nz Nats, so pretty happy about that! 6 months to the Day! How is that so slammed Jeah!

rb drifter Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 think i should finally own up to being the proud new owner of such a fine vehicle, unfortunately within a couple of weeks of ownership the cops stopped me outside the whangarei drifting round on my way home and gifted me a pretty pink sticker...... so off to vtnz again, this time they must have had a bad day and failed on allsorts main issue being cert for lowered suspension, cert for not having swaybar in front, left lower balljoint and left inner tie rod end. after much searching turns out can nolonger buy replacment balljoints or tierods for this as there is no stock left in nz. so time to try australia i geuss...
