What have you been up to this week

it's amazing what a mural can do

Yep its an american van. Just thought i would throw them into the mix.
I just wish we had a van culture like the yanks, they are still in the 70s and 80s, even the kiwis have more of a custom beddy culture then us. Oh well, thank god for james and mystic fantasy.

I think that is only because we can get away with more over here than you guys but they are slowly tightening the noose.

seriously 4 tailshafts all with different yokes and lengths and not one of em fits .......... 

I guess the yokes on me  ..... sad....

[BusyKiwi]

Oh well, had to do it.

Included are 2 images, before and current.

The current one has the window frame sitting in place, if you look closely you'll see it's dropped into the guards a bit.

if you read my website on the build you'll know why I am redoing the firewall

thats coming along nice Busy, cant wait to see it finished.

On another note, just got back from getting the current Live to Ride, as my 47 harley chopper is a feature bike. Hopefully it a sell so I can start on the bedddy about feb or march. The bike is also on ebay and I don't know how to transfer it over

hey Guys, i have now secured my 1:18 scale diecast A-TEAM van, i now have the full set of diecast in all the scales. I have put them in my gallery, and pics on the left side. Enjoy.
Have to say though slightly disappointed, the side cargo door does not open, and they deleted the side pipes, finally the gun box in the back is not there, just small things but noticeable if you love vans as much as i do.
The one thing i did notice right away is the weight, it is one big heavy model, i can see why they dont do a lot of diecast vans in 1:18, expensive to do.

was reading bout ball joints..on buga n thought shite better check mine.....

under goes the jack.....hmmm.theres a fair bit of play here...after some buggerizing around and some reluctancy to actually get in the mood to pull it all apart

i saved my self the hassle and could see that it was the wheel bearings.....no play in the front end...all good there..but play in the disc/wheel

repacked the bearings with some nice healthy blue stuff..and put it all back together...with out even having to take off the wheel....

was stoked!  still got the ball joints for a later date ...

Hey Guys, did anyone else here have a problem with the site @ about 1130hrs this morning. The recent posts page was empty when you clicked on a topic. All seems to be ok now.
