Nova Scotia BS Thread

Haha.

So my parts cleared customs a week ago and the post office has no updates since then on where they are...fucking canada post.

 

My headlights should be here today but I owe duty so I'll pick them up tomorrow morning!

 

A fitting addition to the NS thread... damn rust!

Gross. Looks like you need a new box

 

I would, but its a 2 year beater for me, than I want to get a 1st gen TRD 4x4 after i pay off my 'good car'. I cut out all the rust and I'm using fiberglass to make it passable, new box is 800 from any yard, truck was only 1300.

 

I wouldn't bother getting a new box either! I'd probably weld in some sheet metal though!

 

Yeah dug through my friends and no one welds! (Or had a welder) oh well. I've done this to many a beater. It will be fine!

 

Lower it and racetruck!

So i got half way done my diff breather and the girl guides showed up with cookies so now im getting fat eating cookies.

 

See a couple posts up, Mitch welds. If he wasn't such an ass he would offer to help for free. hahaha

hahaha they got me too. Ate half a box in one night (the chocolate half)

 

Vanilla is where its at man!

 

Nah, my car is for fun, although I'd love to see a 3S-GE Blacktop swapped into one of these... If only an engine wasnt worth 2 of my trucks...

Well my offer is a 24 for mitch to weld some metal into the box sides, or 48 if he wants to teach me to weld! Only ever did it once, turned out terrible, haha.

Also on the topic of GG cookies, those mint ones, the best!

 

respectfully disagree.... you are crazy.

 

Jesus, that is one of the very few things I don't miss out here haha. I see crappy old cars still on the road here that I don't think even exist in Nova Scotia anymore.

I saw a freaking Tempo today at Chinook Center. I'm pretty sure they've all turned to dust back home. Good riddance...

 

Dude I saw frigging Asuna sunrunner the other day! That's like crazy old! Full of holes though. Haha it sucks though, my buddy's 09 civic has blisters all over the rockers. It's gross. This is why the Altezza will never see winter.

 

I'm still waiting for the salt to take out all the riced out civics in the valley.

 

Never going to happen. Valley teens represent the biggest civic importer in north america.

 

How is a sunrunner not dust by now!? Haha.

It does suck. I have a 2008 Si I leave at my folks place for when I get back East. That thing is encased in undercoating goo and hardly driven all winter. So far its in really good shape, but man its not easy.

Although here I just rolled over 10,000km on my Tacoma and I already have a smashed windshield from gravel on the highway. Its always something.

 

You'll be waiting a while. Maybe when the FR-S/BRZ gets cheap enough they'll move onto those.

So much truth it hurts.

 

Maybe they wont be out this summer with the amount of potholes. I've gone though some really big ones at night on the highway, I'm surprised my rims are still round.

 

Yeah brother I hear that about Alberta roads, just killing windsheilds.

Wont happen, I dont think those Civics will ever die out. Nothing takes to Canadian Tire mods quite like a Civic, except maybe a Cavilier Coupe

Man I hear you there! Beside my house there like 4 potholes that have unionized into one huge pothole. its like trying to drive over a lake.
