It's gorgeous. Classic shape and colour.

When you think of a much, much better way of doing things...

...just a few moments after you've gone past the point of no return.

Definition of experience, right there!

Yeah but look what happened to the early worm!

There is a topic about 4 posts below this one, on this very subject. You need to pump the tires up to 50psi ?

Nobody hurt. Car and pride only.

Dude... that's a real bummer. Is it a write off? 

Looks like they were going for a curvy Torana SLR5000 look

Are the boot struts difficult to re-gas or replace?

The boot struts are a nightmare to replace. The ones that open the glass- which is what Gaz is thinking of- are trivial.

I did look at this briefly but to be honest the idea of doing the boot struts put me right off.

Must have been a bloody expensive oil change they did to it. All the way down in Chch now too.

M8 isn't even that fast anyway, there's a 7er that will do 0-100 in something like 3.8sec ?

This forum is just full of old-fashioned "purists "

Nah, it's just people filling in Ron's vacuum. 

Made a clock from leftovers.

Filled it up with garage stuff- shifting houses tomorrow. I hate shifting houses

They are supposed to have a "LIFETIME WARRANTY"... and I just ordered a boatload of them for my Touran...

The ones I already have in there still seem tight, and E39 ones still felt OK... I think!

Hit them up and see what they do!!!

Bloody boy racers. Who puts Powerflex in the missus family wagon, anyway???

Yeah I think I have a steering wheel emblem somewhere...

If it ain't a Record, it ain't a vice. Good work!

PS thanks for not showing us pics of you stripping?

I feel your pain Logan, esp re lack of time with kids running round...

Changed the spark plugs on the Mazda yesterday while I ignored the BMW, see BMW's can be very reliable if you just don't drive them ?

Although that is about the beginning and end of easy service items to do on that car...

Having just traveled through there, I have to say they are really spending some money on roading there. Maybe because the mayor is a farmer? The Saddle Road has been improved outstandingly too! I think you will love it in that area Graham, the occasional winter snow will be like old blighty but the summers are very nice.

I'll take the tyres

Gotta be quick around here Nath! Just tee-ing up to get them to someone in Tauranga, if it falls over they are yours.

Sump gasket gone too.

Don't be a wanker and ask for photos. Third world countries have better internet than me.

All gone to the dump. Thanks for participating in The Great Garage Clearout, 2019 edition.

And remember, folks- time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

Keen to see how the parcel tray goes.  We need an e39 meet up in my driveway

 

I sprayed dyed yours. Does it need doing again? How'd you get on with the fuel leak, too?

Same car really as my wife's Madaz 6, putting larger (factory) rims on it certainly helped the grip and handling.

Loving the mud flaps!
