Just come and enjoy the run, I took my 1200 with 4 speed to Invercargill and came back for this one a year or two ago, and it was a quick trip back at about 5am, no one on the road, ears are still ringing, although they may have been before hand. Be great to have some more little ones there too.

Just bring it along dude. I drove a 4spd 120y to akaroa last year and that was full noise up the hills this cruise is pretty flat so you'll be fine

Re: Joels b122 --rust found...

Post by joelbrown »

Accidently spilled coffee down passenger side floor area yest, when i got home i removed the pass side seat. I found (after a good clean) a few small spots of rust and bumps in the paint, i scraped the areas back a little to get a better look, all were fine and very minimal and just reqd a clean up and por15 to fix. BUT... there was an innocent looking patch on the back of the cab that when i gave it a light scrape parts of it fell away, farrk. It gets worse tho as it is in the middle of the upper rear chassis beam so i cant view it from the back side without cutting a hole in the tray. The back side of it seems to be the worst tho as i put a vacume to it and alot of small flakes were cmn thru.
In the pics below u cn see the spot welds around the rust holes where the beam attaches to the back of the cab.
Any hints or tips as to how to attack this would be greatly appreciated. Ive jst filled it with por15 in the meantime till i cn gt it sorted.
