yoeddynz Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yeah the old boy aint that keen on randoms just dropping in and I can understand why. There's a fair bit of stuff there (although the best bits, the Imps, the Datsuns and the Saab 99s are all gone....) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great and I'm stoked with the colour. I'll do a proper update soon. But in the meantime here's a quick peek at the colour. But which one is it?... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 ^that is Bruce's Imp ute. He has many an Imp (and lots of Vauxhalls too..) I've actually just listed my spare imps up on Trademe- let someone else have some fun with them... https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1956094077 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just had another geez through your thread, that section with all the mspaint pics was absolute gold. Love it. Car's coming along awesomely too! New paint looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Oh thanks. It took me days slaving behind my super graphics computer (note 4) to craft those pics. Some of that time was indeed just trying to get decent photos because we'll, as we all know, taking photos of animals is always tricky and dinosaurs are no different. The Romans were no easier to snap.. Poncy bloody Italians always worried about their hair. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilusion Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Holy shit mate every project you do ends up looking mint. Well done, still wish I had the motivation you do! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Cheers man. My motivation was waning quite a bit in the middle part of the project but now it is getting close to being finished I'm itching to work on it! It's at that fun part where it's lots of little jobs and piecing it together like a big model car 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks dave. Just did a, hopefully last, shipping mission for parts in Nelson. All those little bits adding up. Running out of moths. Bought a pod filter from supercheap. Extra 15% bhp right there. I have been gifted 3 days to myself to work on imp whilst hannah is off tramping up in the Mt Arthur region with her brother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Is it just me or are the back wheels further forwards than they should be? In some of the pics they seem that way.. Either way, she's looking good. e.g. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yeah - they have moved back further now. Trailing arm suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Looking so very good! I had an a-series powered toy, from (vague) memory, the carb was Hitachi DC208, and the one you're holding looks similar(-ish(??)). Good lock finding details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Nice air filter BUT I can't help but think the air up there is going to be thermonuclear hot. (Spesh with the reduced air flow because rear engine) If you can find the carb adapter from a C20 vannetre, that should fit. Then you can route a duct to somewhere cooler. Cold.air is free horsepower. For every eleven degrees farenheit that the temperature lowers you gain one percent power increase. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Duct it through a grille in the rear hatch like a Fronte 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
