its been sent from chch last week,, because of this shi**y weather what they said 3, 4days at the most have been delayed more than a week now to get it to Auckland :shock: , even tho the trnsporter ppl must be going thu a tough time getting the car up here but i just can't wait to go get my hands on it.

its been delayed about 4 times now and they said it will be here for me to pick up tomorrow. FOR REAL!

funny thing is, previous owner bought the car from North Shore and transported to CHCH, and North Shore is where I live :shock: :shock:

here are list of things i will do in order


will be doing most of the work myself =) with some help from mates.


change of ownership.

cam belt

air filter + plastic pipe

engine mount /knocking

brake pads

spark plugs /splutter

fix rust (if any)

fix roof (if needed)

stereo

key copy

registration

WOF


[road legal]


alarm +central lock

kill switch

front seats

A/C unit

front mount intercooler

bov

weld bars for flexing points

body kit

body paint


do you guys think it will be wise to buy another cabriolet as spare? or do you find it quite easy to get parts??

Well depending on what you are making, and how you are going about it you may have interest from other parties to get replica's. I have been keeping an eye out for something.....

I just reread your first post, it would seem that i assumed that
"air filter + plastic pipe "
meant you were fabricating up a new intake to allow for a pod filter.
I remember now that you said on another thread you didnt have an intake at all.

I was trying to say (assuming you were making intake piping for a pod) that you should make two intake's and sell me (or other people) one

sorry for the confusion

sorry to hear that....but hey, at least once you've worked on it you can be certain you do know its condition... maybe you'll get carried away with the rebiulding too like others and end up with a awesome little beasty!
