I decided to sell it, no point having all that money tied up, when the car is still just a giant paperweight. Its cheap, but it doesn't owe me a lot, and i'm hoping someone will snap it up so I can pour the $ into panel and paint. oh sweet. i would say thats a good idea. have you got a date for the body to go to choppers?

dabuzz 2,448 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 i messaged him last night, said between 4 and 7 weeks, the Covid thing has pushed him back alot. I'm in no rush though, might give me time to build another motor to make a few extra $ in the mean time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rembrandt 41 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 How long did it take to get your mate to give up that half cut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dabuzz 2,448 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Not too long tbh, total GC. I'm putting my old 1/4 back on it and will just fill it up with bog to suit. Hes going to make it into a trailer or something so doesn't have to be flash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldrx7 12,371 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 That exhaust is gonna be pretty loud? Looks nice though Shit that A pillar 'fix' is great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dabuzz 2,448 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 2.5 Manawatu mufflers reso, into AES/PAC rear, both great quality, the rears are really good at keeping noise down, will have to see though, have built exhaust in 4 parts, so can change up sections easily if needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt G 252 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Very nice mate, i do like the zinc plating and clear bead blasted gearbox. You’ve given me inspirations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ytubit 0 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Hey mate. Car is looking good. can I ask where you got your plating done? And did you strip or sandblast first or anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dabuzz 2,448 Posted Monday at 21:14 Author Report Share Posted Monday at 21:14 I use Terei Brothers platers in West Auckland, but any electroplater can do it, just ask for either gold or silver passivating I just send in a bucket of old dirty rusty parts, and they come back mostly mint, not always though depends on how bad the rust is, pitting etc wont be fixed unless you prep and polish the parts first.
