I don't think we had 2.6 turbos for Starions in NZ. Just 2 litre. Heres the link to Pauls car;

Sounds dear to me. A mate is selling one of those with an 8 valve 4g63 from a Starion for $8000nz. Check Trademe.

I talked to these guys but they need a bulkhead to tke a mould from and I am at the other end of the country. Their work does sound good though.

The steering wheel is from a GTO. The standard wheel is the same as alot of yours. Looks like in going to be busy with photos next weekend although I do have a big tree to cut down and completely cut and split for firewood.

Pictures probably next weekend. I have new/old door cards coming this week too. Would be good to show an update with these, the repaired guard and rechromed bumper corners. Dreams are free............

Where's that quote from?

Still none of the above parts but today I have worked on making the best dash cluster that I can out of all my various spares. I think at this stage I will be sticking with the fake woodgrain as the best one I have looks near new and alot darker than others I have. The GTO seats are now fitted but w...

I know it's all personal preference, but I wouldn't worry too much about an original battery clamp.
In my build I am keen to try and keep the battery under the bonnet as thats where they belong. Even if it means using a small sealed unit similar to what helicopters use.

Do you have any pictures of it?
I wish I had found this website before our trip to Adelaide last year. There seem to be alot of members from there.

Looking at fixing mine. It isn't bad but not really a fixable thing supposedly. I saw a Mini advertised on TM last night with a leather dash pad. I'm thinking of talking to the upholserer about covering mine. I think it could look quite good and I was looking at redoing the seats in leather anyway. ...

Nearly a month on and the LF Guard isn't back yet. Saw him this time last week and I was going to have it on Thursday, grrrrrr! Has neededalot more work though. I have been trying to get hold of the guy rechroming my bumper ends but he seems too busy to answer the phone. On a positive note, my new d...

Wow! Over 1000 views now. Thats pretty cool. I wish there was more news to share. I guess I can share that I got a bit anal on the rear bumper corners. 1 had a pinhole of rust and the other had a small scrape so I got one of my spares with a snapped rusty bolt in it. Removed the offending bolt remna...

No pictures this update. Shame, I needed to do before and after of my front guard. I was going to get it tidied up by the panel beater but first it had to get media blasted to get the old bog out. This revealed an ugly as repair on the front. The panelbeater is a craftsman and has cut the front out ...

Hey Jono, I used to have two VG Valiants as well (no photos unfortunately). Great car. One was white and the other gold. Did you know thw first 'Charger' was actually tested using the Charger running gear in a VG Valiant Utility? My old man has the photos of Doug Chivas taking around the test track...

I'm at a similar position with mine. I was going to buy the tacho that you got but freight was cheaper from Asia than Aussie. The colours of wires to the coil were different on mine than pictured in that link but it was very useful. Just cobbling together one good dash out of the 5 or so I have befo...

That's how I remembered it too Jason. Mine currently has vinyl over the rear arches with the old seat. I will try to fit up later this week.

I managed to pick up a set of GTO seats today. I only had room to bring the rears home from work today but after 8 years on a farm with a broken windshield they have cleaned up ok although it looks like only the base of the rears will fit. That's no problem as I was primarily after the front. The fr...

There's been a couple down near me in recent times. An old MK1 Mini and a Toyota RAV4 (about 1996). Both go very well. There was a story on 3News a couple of months ago and I think it was in the ODT Newspaper as well.

All on their website. Very good. $201 Au plus freight. 22mm. Can go bigger if you want.

Plenty of Kiwis on this forum mate/bro/cuz!

Great link there Geezer, some good reading and info.

Another cell phone pic as the computer won't talk to the camera. http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y454/mrelshauno/StrippedInstruments_zps8853cc8b.jpg I am three quarters of the way through mounting my new tacho into the instrument cluster where the clock was. I have never been the biggest of fan'...

Just worked it out at $326 NZ dollars delivered.

After a bit of searching around the net I found these guys; http://www.mako.com.au/
Anyone tried them? Seem to be ok, depends on freight price to NZ.

Heres a crappy cell phone pic of the back of the bumpers now;

What have people done to upgrade the sway bar on a GD? I have had a measure up and factory is 20mm. I saw somewhere here that someone put a 27mm on a Sigma I think.

Would these be a good upgrade for my GD Hardtop?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 710737.htm

Will they be a straight "bolt in" or will mod's be required?

Should be all good. Same exact diff as GH Scorpion except they use vented Starion rotors and were available in limited slip. Centres are the same as JA Starion and gear sets are interchangeable with Scorpion 10 bolt so you can change ratio pretty simply. Stock they are 3.89:1 same as the stock Gala...

I'm sure I have seen on www.oldschool.co.nz a thread about successful rechroming of plastic.

I have just brought this one so I will arrange pick up in the next couple of days.
There goes part of the panelbeating fund..........
