The Dude Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Err I should probably point out, you dont need to repair cert this car, the rego is on hold, you just take it for a wof good sir.! Wof man goes, "ok!" and off you roll to collect your reg. Nice work by the way, glad to see it coming along. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guypie Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think the rego may be for a different morrie, so going to do all repair to cert standard and if it doesnt come up when i go to get a wof then all is well. but if it gets pulled up and I need to re rego I hope to be covered. By the way if you happen to get a mgb gt in at zebra for parts let me know, I would like the front hubs, brakes and kingpins. because secret master plan of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 kwality work sir, especially for first time (i call BS!) apparently these and the other various BMC variants, the Fiat 2100/2300 and Peugeot 404 were all penned by Pininfarina around the same time. The wagons especially are very similar from the rear. Seems that BMC had more concern about how to assemble them in order to minimise rust traps than FIAT did! Carry on my good man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 looks good to me. if your parent panel is bending then use shorter welds. you really cant get away with anything more that a spot. if you try to run a bead it'll warp. apart from that your doing great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Rego for a different morry???? Why do you think that? I bought the cars off a pretty well known motorbike restorer here in Auckland, so if its not the reg for the car we will be going back to see him!!!! Do all the numbers match up?

Half the serial is the same the other half is different. On the paper work it says its a blue sedan, so may have been a mix up somewhere. In talking to a compliance workshop they said that sometimes stuff got mixed up when the records changed to digital so could be that. Regardless I'm not sweating it too much, if I do the work to a good standard it shouldn't be a problem anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hmm, I'm not liking that, the fact is I paid for that car with a live reg, and it wasn't cheap, so maybe we should go and see the gentleman in question! They never pick up on old cars at wof time tho, unless you are seriously unlucky, but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hey for first time repairs they are pretty neat. Welding looks good. Like mr pie eater said.. if too much shrinkage then just shorter welds. Anyway- you'd rather have low spots than high spots on something that aint a ferrari. Then you can just epoxy over it and fill with putty magic. Nothing wrong with a bit of filler Wagons are cool. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Ok. First im just going to say that the panels thst guypie did look fucking sweet. How the fuck did you do the outer lip so nice with chilses and hammers. Gawd damn..... But yay! Im glad terry bought this to be honest. Will be good to see a new wagon at wag nats. Does look like a bit of rust in the front there. But not to bad once its all unstiched by the looks. Rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locost_bryan Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Autocar managed 0-60mph in 19.6 secs. Twin carbs and 1800cc should give 50% more excitement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
