Mop Head Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Cheers all for helping @TheBarterBarber! I’ve been helping Sam with his beddy and camper for the past couple of months but due to my ridiculous obsession with things on 2 wheels, my usefulness with anything bigger is fast running out. Keen as to come be a part of any major work days or anything for the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Chyeah rad. Will offer my limited knowledge and assistance’s where possible if there is a working bee also not sure if you’ve done it already but chuck a freight service request up in the freight section on here (https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/forum/36-freight-services/) someone might be heading that way some time soon and able to move the gearbox for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Spotted @TheBarterBarber driving this around the Tauranga CBD on Wednesday - I gave a toot from my red ranger. It would be a shame to cover up the mural though. It's so sweet! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBarterBarber Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Haha the mural has been fun, but I’m ready for a change! Truenotch was was that pic taken at Hart rd? Im working on getting the ZF gearbox up north at the moment, just waiting on hearing back. Then will make a work day! Ive read people saying I should do the clutch at the same time, where’s the best place for a clutch kit? BNT? thanks again everyone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Where in Hawkes bay is the box? And BNT for sure, hopefully someone from here may be able to swing you a trade discount on a kit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Head Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Sam got a new gearbox. Which broke immediately. Currently stuck in Manuwatu trying to make 2 gear boxes into one.

TheBarterBarber Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Yes! Smashed through two gearboxes, just to find the offending culprits was the univesal joint at the rear dif end was seized. A new driveshaft and we were away laughing for a seven and a half hour track back to Tauranga!. We ended up making a frankenbox with parts of three old ZF boxes. The decision has been made to repower asap with a holden engine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
