Cheers man. It's no Porsche but I do thoroughly enjoy driving it.

Went and did some weekend wagon work, this weekend been.

Needed to grab the old man's trailer so I could pick up the ute flat-deck that JWG bought with a B2000 (that I had also picked up earlier in the week). Whilst I was grabbing it, I threw the L24 from the 110 on it and brought that home. Problem was that apparently the weight of the L24 was enough cause this;

So, definitely need to lip the guards a bit better as well as get some new shocks for the rear at the very least.

It didn't rub as bad a few months back when I collected this for Joseppi..

..so I can only assume the L24 is either heavier or the shocks in the rear are more fucked now.

Also, this may have happened whilst I had Joe's bike

[kyteler]

You need to get out more.

Have you not seen this?

 

Would be hard to do with wagons though.

Maybe some Air shocks in rear if lipped guards no fix.

Burnout looked good,so bogan as well

I approve, please continue.

So this thing has never had a back seat since it has been in the country. 

I just bought one along with matching belts, etc. ex-Japan.  Who knows how long it will be for the container to arrive but if nothing else it will be a little bit more saleable with a rear seat.

Oh, I was contacted by a Japanese journalist and it also featured in a magazine in Japan, the author sent me a copy..

The rear seat finally arrived last week, I threw it in and discovered it was missing a couple of little brackets, I had a vague idea but with the assistance of the lovely @Beaver I got some exact dimensions.  Finding the brackets could take longer than finding the seat (which took a while) but thankfully I had some 3mm flat bar in the shed and so made some out of that instead of the formed 1mm that the factory one is.

Good enough and now for the first time in its New Zealand history it has a rear seat.  Pretty happy with it. 

Same brown, same pattern, good belts.  Fucking bewwwttee maate. 

Seems really weird using it now though, not used to there being seats behind me.

They're not allowed in car.  They stay outside. It builds character.

After seeing @scootersfender mirror conundrum I remembered that I had C31 Laurel fender mirrors that I used to use on the C110, I won't be using them for that anymore so I thought I'd try them on the Gloria.

Angles are a bit off but not too bad. 

They'd be an OK one to look out for, for you as well, @scooters

[scooters]

@kyteler yep as far as I know they are a common one to stick on the 330's 

here is the base of mine... that will be the give away as to what they are off I guess. I have had to doctor them a lot to get this fit you get the general idea. (plastic) 

 

[kyteler]

That's a meaty base. 

[kyteler]

The Y30 had covers on the holes but I discovered when I took the guard liner off that it used to have mirrors installed in the past because the old spring bases were still there and dropped out... Hahah.

I think the being Black on mine doesn't help. But i'm fairly low on the giving fucks. It rather laugh at them than pull them off. 

It's bothering me less and less with every hour. + I can see behind me now.
