Thanks for the interest guys;

I'll have a proper look at the bushing this weekend, will put some washers or something around the pivot pin as well as the lever seems to have a lot of sideways movement even in gear, seems less than ideal :?

I am dreaming of shaving the keyholes of completely at some distant point (as the front doors now remote lock/unlock) but I've done this for now instead;

From this (inside of key lock)

To this

By removing these

I'd seen someone (forget who sorry) on the forum weld a piece of metal over the keyhole to stop the lock from getting picked but I though this would be a little more subtle :)

Hey man, Nice 120y....I used to see it parked in Newtown a lot and then up off the terrace, actually it totally got me back into the old school cars! I tried to find a 120y for ages but couldn't get my hands on one, eventually I got a 180b which is awesome, but yeah someone did the same to me backing into it, though in may case there was no note left haha you can check it out here...

Thanks man, good to hear I've helped ignite someone's passion :)
I'll keep an eye out for you in Wellington, I'm still kicking around but unfortunately I spend most of my time glued to a laptop with uni work haha.

Nice "Y".

Used to have one and would still have had it not been for darn thieves that took it away :x

That black semi flat is cool. Some suspension lowering would add character and cornering fun.

Found a couple of ugly looking rust holes in my back doors yesterday. This is the worst but the other door has a matching hole beginning to grow. Not overly thrilled about this as my warrant is due soon :?
