Awesome work. I would like to have the equipment you have, instead I got a vice, blocks of wood and a variety of hammers....

Swap meet purchases today, 39-47 Hillman guards, and pair of straight Buckeye bumpers, ones missing the centre bracket. $120 the lot, stoked!

I had a seat out of a bus in it originally, problem was the steering wheel was in my lap and the top of the door was not far off being in line with my hips. Even early Mini seats (about as small as we get over here) measure too wide. I'll have to measure it up but with both me and wifey (we are...

Unfortunately they're a country mile too wide. Every original car seat will not fit in the gap. I was going to try to build a bench seat back with a cut it fit base that goes between the driveshaft tunnel and outer panel. I also want it as low as possible to make the back as low as possible...

Really struggling for ideas for this seat. I've decided and been approved to run 4 point harnesses, so saves making tricky seatbelt posts etc. Only stipulation is seat needs to be to OEM standard, needs to incorporate voids for the belts to pass through and has to have a headrest. What are you...

Blank canvas all cleaned up. Let's build a seat!!!! Starting tomorrow night.......

Cut the holes out, flipping mission of a job, but got a result.

Cruising home from work tonight listening to a spot of Motorhead and a song come on, awesome riff, good beat. Name of the song Jailbait, and I think a fitting name for my rod, what ya reckon?

Immediately after my last picture post i fabbed this patch and I've just finished welding it in. Gotta bore the holes now, that's gonna be fun

Thanks guys. I'm all inspired to get this a bit further along, after all it's been 8 or so years. I've missed one deadline of daughters senior dance so I have 4 years before the second daughters.....

Removed the master cylinder and booster and mocked up just the pedalbox and column. *Made me a little bracket out of 3mm plate and bored it out to suit the steering column shaft*Then migged it into place and gave it a grind up I'm about to take the whole lot out and make the patch to cover...

A couple more, the old one with the sidedrafts on for height of master cylinder comparison

Trying pictures off phone

Well I'm still around, and I haven't given up. I've been in talks with a certifier about seatbelt mountings. Have a plan in place. On lookout for materials. Or maybe I should stop being a tightwad and go buy some steel!!! Watch this space

Not mine but in late 80s old man had a 69 FD Vauxhall Victor ( Google image it) 2000 badges 13x5 mags with 165/70s hiding a very healthy SBC and powerglide. Even a new GSXR750 at the time couldn't match it. I remember it going off a 90mph speedo in one place with no brakes. I would love to own...

Oh also forgot to add after 20 years and 2 kids my partner became my wife....

Hi team! Been a while! Had a bit of a rest due to welder implosion. Anyways finally bought a new one and I'm back into it. Over New Year I cut the cowl out to lower the master cylinder/pedalbox, short-lived as grinder grabbed, spun out of my hand and run up my arm resulting in a quick ER visit...

I'm in New Zealand and these engines were put into anything and everything. They are still around. This is a "red" motor. First offered in 149cubc inches in about 61-62 they got bigger the later they went on 149,161,173,179,186 then 202. This is one of the very last 202s built as the metricised...

Australian inline 6 202 cubic inch. These engines are highly revered in Australia and are based off an early Buick design. My one is fitted with a late 60s aftermarket manifold with twin SU carburettors

Out of interest I have actually identified the rear section. It is Essex, 27-29 vintage, and completely by accident! There was one showed up for sale on New Zealand's TradeMe site (Craigslist style website??) and yep that's it!!![cl
