Had a play around yesterday. Dad scored some sheet steel off an industrial electrical switchboard cabinet from the yard. Its clean save for a few drilled holes that I will weld up later. Made a template out of cardboard and traced it out. Cut it out with a zipdisk and dressed it up so its a nice...

Foters man!!!! Yeah, pics as promised. Forgot to take a pic of the seat complete, I had already removed the back off the base so I could put the seat up in the rafters for safekeeping. This is the base complete The offending end The suitable end I am trying to replicate Removed the end by...

Yup.That part of me is fine, but a "mass" has been discovered in my right knee, its pretty common, so waiting on surgery on that. Gawd falling apart at the seams.....

Crap update with no pics again. Will sort that out on Thursday. Ok, holdup has been trying to get seat(s) that will go in between the rails. Escort, Mini, old, new, nothing would fit! Anyway was talking to a mate whos mate had an old bus 2 seater bus seat (out of god know what) chilling in his...

Photo update. Took a couple of snaps when around on Wednesday night. Ive cut the rotten bottom off the cowl and lengthened it by 270mm with a 30mm overlap, full weld outside, stitch welded inside.Bent the ends at 90 deg and just cut and bend them to get an approximate height, its got to come...

First day back at work. Now no more hassles from the missus about working on hot rod while sick. Foots still got a mean hole in it though....

thats what you would pay for it in new zealand at the very least

I would think nothing of driving length of New Zealand in mine once finished. Holden 6s are the most reliable engine around....

two thumbs up....

Dammit. Doctors again today, wound hasn't healed properly due to not enough sutures. Another 3 days off. Actually looking forward to going back. Poor Buick, no work done on it for 3 weeks

Seems like that's the case, well, from what Ive read in our Hobby Car Manual. I know of plenty of rods with modified bits on the road, but all rods built after 2002 have to apply to a different set of rules.Many are just downright unsafe but the rules don't apply to them.The only way to be rid...

You horrible people!!!!! I'm disgusted with the fact stuff like this is still out there!!! In New Zealand even finding a good condition 80s Japanese or Australian barn find car is extremely rare. Most have gone to scrap years ago (or demo derbied, which I am extremely guilty of). Even my Dad...

Everything is L200 Mitsubishi, column, brake booster/ master cylinder and pedalbox. Took a lot of thinking to get it in unmodified, even the steering shafts/universal joints are 100% unmodified Mitsi parts. The only thing that will be is the brake pedal as I cant find an auto pedal to go into it.

Spanner in the works Two days ago I managed to drop the sharp windscreen corner of a car bonnet (hood) halfway:eek: thru my left foot resulting in a 4 hour wait at the ER to get it cleaned up and stitched up. Now off work for a week. Another visit to the docs today because it puffed up...

Cheers for the link. Quite a few there, heaps more if I wanted 32 Fords or buckets though

Got most of those. I love the red one in particular. Im using parallel leaves in the back so I have no locating arms or anything like that in the way.

I used to be a fan of Rotary engined Mazdas, had heaps of them. I had a rotary powered rwd 78 323. That car in New Zealand would be worth 15-20k now, sold it for $1000 with no repower cert. It went like stink.

Sedans chopped will be fine. I need a few just to check proportions. Anything thats got two rows of seats basically, found this. . Anything sort of like that.

hmm after posting this up that night the next afternoon I managed to drop the sharp windscreen corner of a car bonnet (hood) halfway:eek: thru my left foot resulting in a 4 hour wait at the ER to get it cleaned up and stitched up. Now off work for a couple of days. It hurts like the devil. Real...

Looking good mate. As per the PM weld it up, if you been ticketed your welding will most certainly be up to scratch. Remember new scratch built chassis welds are not to be ground off.....The welding we have done on my chassis is a country mile tidier than the factory stuff....
