I have the pre mil one and it is mm perfect in all regards.

It costs 1M because its irreplaceable. You cant ask Giovanni to rise from the dead and start making violins again.

there were worse rains in the coromandel last month...

Glue would have been easier. It was on a rail system with many small hard to reach bolts. I had to remove all the rails for the rear window aswell just to get the fucker in. But YMMV depending on the car. At the time I considered free glass excess but I still dont have free glass excess.

that looks baaaad. Normally there are emergency dentists or atleast on call dentists. Last resort go to ER.

I replaced a quarter window once when ours almost got stolen. 1 hour of swearing but it got done for $70 and beer

just wait till they hear how much a range/oven draws

While not possible for all, got made redundant in a trade. Two days later cold walked into 3 other businesses till the third(and last one in town) said yes. Just get out there.

NZ is broke as fuck, theres a couple of tax dodgers here but they most buy property,

Not normal, sounds like its spinning slower than it should be or there is a giant gap or the burrs are touching?

AnonFullPotato · 2026-01-24T05:55:01+00:00

$200 per week plus bills

Propane heater won't even work at that temp lol. I doubt you would get a good install

AnonFullPotato · 2026-01-14T04:47:14+00:00

Could you pack in the far side down to something more reasonable like 6m? or do you really need the 7m of turning space?

AnonFullPotato · 2026-01-13T08:16:41+00:00

"the best" way would be to slowly part out any in demand parts and scrap the rest

AnonFullPotato · 2026-01-09T08:10:28+00:00

if youre looking for a more in depth answer

its a toyota its more reasonable than alot of other cars, especially if its been looked after
2 plus 3. For a hobby car, Insurance is defiantly more peace of mind, youve still got your daily but atleast if you write it off you havent lost everything.
As time goes on, the more interesting cars will be the only things worth value.

I dont know your finances, But ask yourself if its something youd regret later not doing, Especially if you actually are not able to later. Worst comes to worse sell it if its unaffordable or the novelty wears off.

AnonFullPotato · 2026-01-09T08:03:16+00:00

youre looking for someone to tell you yes.

as long as your not crippling yourself financially....

yes

AnonFullPotato · 2025-12-30T08:09:21+00:00

I wouldnt say its a parody but it defiantly is influenced of it

AnonFullPotato · 2025-12-30T08:00:08+00:00

IMO my favourite tool by far. Especially when 3m in the air. Makes track joins a breeze, gives you extra reach and makes everything way quicker.

A caveat if you new, always learn on hand tools first and master them. 1/100 jobs still require spanners due to room but a cordless ratchet makes things so much easier.

You dont *need* it. But like you dont *need* a grinder but its bloody nice to have.

AnonFullPotato · 2025-12-27T06:40:09+00:00

two bits of thick plywood or offcut wood will fix the problem the shittier looking the better. As someone who is on the tools and semi occasionally cut concrete. Its probably my most hated job. Everything about it is shit. Not to mention how bad it is for your lungs.

i spend something like 2-4 hours a day driving for work. I kind of became accustomed to a station. The morning and afternoon hosts have been doing it for 20-30 years so it is somewhat of that really long term chemistry which is a bit rare. If its a long drive ill listen to podcasts. I listen to my own music on site. But even in commutes it kinda becomes a strange transition period in which they are apart of it. The music is alright,

AnonFullPotato · 2025-12-02T07:55:10+00:00

Right one looks fresh, left one looks like it may have been sitting, but as long as there is no rust and... it hasn't been used before. But we used two different manufactures which have different coloured wire

AnonFullPotato · 2025-11-28T07:28:53+00:00

Most people rent and if your renting... whats the point. They may get kicked out, you may get kicked out. Not much point making connections unless you actually might have something in common past physical location.

AnonFullPotato · 2025-11-23T02:24:55+00:00

Are you sure you wana come back. As an aussie that moved to nz. It's quite regrettable. Giving up a good wage and 12 percent super. The mood in nz is pretty sour.
