nerfbat Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Posted January 11, 2013 sweet mate. i shoulda rocked down..! today let me start with this: The Moke is a lesson in UNF thread 'captive' nuts.... none of my collection from wrecks over the years, work or fit so, off i went to Coventry fasteners to get a collection of the more common sizes seat mount bols greased those babies up, and worked them in and out well, before fitting the seat seatbelts fitted Quote

PHATKE20S Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 We never know what your next car will be....most of the time its cool though ;-) I'm keen to see this one stay around for a while (I'm a Mini fan from waaay back) Quote
Trev Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Went past again yesterday and the moke was gone, also good to see you have some decent seatbelts. Quote
nerfbat Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Posted January 13, 2013 thanks DougE and Trev..! it was too hot to do a thing so i watched the cricket today... /sad... anyone have a 1275 engine laying around? wink wink Quote
towe001 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Don't quote me on it being fwd with the gearbox in the sump. But maybe datsun 12a ? Quote
kickn5k Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 anyone have a 1275 engine laying around? I'm not sure what its like up north, but my next door neighbor had to import a metro 1275 to get something half reasonable. I've seen a fair few 4e turbo GT Starlet powered minis in Melbourne. Would be a serious rocket in something this light. Quote
nerfbat Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 ah cool mate.. yeah starting see how expensive the 1275's are... may be chasing my uncle's motor, if i can beg it out of him.. on the up side, i had Dave Hanson around for a RWC on the skyline to sell, and while he was here, he suggested a new set of points would fix the car running rough. so i did, and it did..! thing runs like a dream! going for RWC on friday, hope to have her regoed on monday..! TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!! lol Quote
Stenzel Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Cool mate, need to take me for a spin! lol. I''ll have cash waiting to buy this..... (jokes) Quote
nerfbat Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Cool mate, need to take me for a spin! lol. as soon as she is regoed, will let ya know, mate I''ll have cash waiting to buy this..... (jokes) HAHA Edited January 16, 2013 by nerfbat Quote
towe001 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Do you still have that german helmet from when you had the scooter ? You wear the avaitor helmet and the passenger wears the german helmet. Bane mask ? Quote
springersrolla Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 looks pretty cool mate, had an old neighbour who had a bright yellow one he used to cut around to work. i actually have a 40mm sidedraft dellorto and gooseneck manifold at home, its my mates but its just been sitting round. was originaly run on a 1100cc. theres a bloke in west ipswich near the golf course that has heaps of minis he might be able to point u in the direction for the 1275 Quote
