flyingbrick Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I probably do some work on all of them at least 3 times a week. I've just come out of a three month non stop Lock up and car blitz with Neil, We emptied a quite simply stunning amount of stuff from the Lock up, repaired my Mitsi Ute, and wof'd and reg'd it for Drag day, pulled apart two 1974 Fairlane's (wait till you see them!) and got my Viva ready to put the engine in. We also bought two utefulls of classic push Bikes, sold 8 Motorbikes, Bought a 1977 Gs850, shipped 3 cars from all over New Zealand, Picked up the Oxford, started on a Red Bull Trolly, Bought picked up and moved 5 engines and put a P76 4.4 litre V8 in a 1982 SD1 after rebuilding a complete bottom end and failing to find a six cylinder head to complete it. I also rebuilt a 1982 Daimler Sovreign that had been left in someones garden for 5 years into a running driving wof'd and reg'd car and sold it. Organised massive amount of work on the Mustang, Moved the Caprice from Las Vegas to Winslow AZ to be race prepaired, Organised Hotels at both ends of the C2C and signed the contracts. I also looked at maybe 20 sections for sale around Auckland and the Waikato, and had to read up on the planning law surrounding them, check out the Auckland district plan, and arrainge finance to actually buy one! I also helped Ed buy an RX7 in San Francisco, and a Dodge van for me to ferry C2C folks around, sort a trip to the UK for two weeks in March, and move my pension from the UK to Kiwi saver. On top of this I worked mostly 6 days a week running a business and ran 3 Facebook pages for car fans. I start work at 8:30am work till 18:30 spend 3-4 hours at the lock up and then complete the rest of the things I need to do at home till 1-2am. Thats been my last three months, I know there's about a million things I've forgotton too. Man I know that thats a looooong answer, but it kinda points out how busy I am!!!! If you think that's busy.. Try being married to my wife. If I'm not working I'm doing whatever she has told me I'm doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Don't get me started on Austin Montego's, because the shocking answer is......... I love them!!!!!!!!! I drove heaps of them in the Uk because they were worth exactly nothing, and were supercheap to run, especially the diesels. If ever I was offered another Diesel Countryman Wagon, I would buy it in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever I was offered another Diesel Countryman Wagon, I would buy it in a heartbeat Like most BL stuff, once the first few thousand buyers had done the final development work, the rest were pretty well sorted. And the diesels still have a very good reputation in the UK. Didn't they sell the engine design to Perkins (aka Prima)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Less BL and more FoMoCo: Â Â Â Â The we removed the terrible wheels and substituted them for something a bit more appropriate: Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Lower it!!!!!! are you insane, I spend my life jacking up everything I can find, so In a word, no! For all the reasons Escort Ben says, This will be my "Stunt" car, so it will be driven hard and it needs to be high, will get a bash plate or two as well, all those who got stuck halfway up the banking at Kumeu in the Torino know exactly why my cars need to be up in the Nosebleeds!!! Â Mmmmm I had much drooling over your Nosecone Mr Brick, very, very, very nice, I've wanted to make a Midnite Spares Tow Tonner for years! do you really want the 9 inch? I may well sell it to you, they do take a load of abuse, but my yard is literally full of 8 3/4 disc brake rears, so I guess I'll use one of those. want a price good sir? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Haha yep pm me about 9"! (Tho I prob won't be able to afford it) I must admit the transam front is growing on me.
