I was born in Rotorua and my kids say that is why I smell.

It is one of the north islands Big ones, renown for its heavy 'frosts. Like all swap meets ,It's a great social event and always turns up a few gems.

Don't know if any other Kiwis visit this site, But the Rotorua swapmeet is on the 13 July.

Great trip, Thanks for your photos and write up.Regards Daz.

Thanks for posting the photos. These seem to boost the enthusiasm when you tend to start slowing down on your own build. Looks like everyone had a great time. Regards Daz.

Wow some nice cars there, Hope you guys didn't get to much rain. Regards Daz.

A N.O.S. Windscreen ready to go in and a shot with the front sheet metal in place. I loved the job bolting the guards thru the A -pillar and dropping the bolts down into the bottom recess.

So Far so good assembly under way . Back rubber strips - rht hand new old stock ,left and centre made up from Para rubber stock. Also hood lining (nos) going in.

Not off to a good start, I unpacked the big box of rubbers that I have stored away in a tin trunk at the back of the shed and found that Rares have sent out four left front outer door rubbers and a panel van rear tailgate glass rubber. One step forward, two back- again. Regards Daz.

More shiny bits. The painting is now finished.

A few more painted bits

Thanks guys for all the info. I have had to make a bell housing cover out of an EJ one as I can't find an FB/EK one anywhere, so good spotting there.
At the moment with the rear mount in the right position, the bell housing is up against the firewall on the starter motor side and the fan is 35mm ...

Hi all, Can some one please tell me if I have my rear engine mounts bolted in the correct position. This is for a standard 138/ crash box set up . Thanks.

Thanks Guys, Will try the sticky flex idea. Regards Daz.
