So hey guys, oh my god, I havnt posted in one of these in like forever.
But trust me I have been busy, but thats not important right now haha

So, this is my recently aquired 1988 Suzuki Carry van, got it cheapish, blown head gasket, no wof but stilled regged, has been a service vehicle for something. so probaly thrashed prime time haha

But still, will be mean, so far have pulled off head and found that the water has been pushing past blown BHG and corrded head into the cylinders, so sorting that out now
other small issues currently include driver window reg stuffed, so pulled that out today, and welded up the stripped teeth on the gear, next will be to sort out the play in the spindle and reshape the teeth

Will be max awsome

so heres some pics, will get pics of work tomorroe

Really miss my old one too.... look forward to seeing this line up with the inspiration though. Such useful, awesome little vans.

[Borgweiser]

Ahahahahaaahahaha used to do so many missions in this very van!
Was my mates mother's and used to be so mint you could eat your dinner off the underside
Still got the back seats? They saw some hutt girl action..

flew passed an old joker in one of these struggling to hit 80 on the motorway about a week ago and thought of you. and now, this. keep it. perfect.

[Seedy Al]

Not much of an update
Cam is picking me up a head of CXGpwr this weekend so hopefully its better than the one i have, and if so will get checked and decked

Also the window winder on the drivers side was shot, so pulled it apart, found flogged out spindle bush, which had caused the teeth on the gear to flatten
So welded up the teeth and will reshape with grinder and files
And get bush remade
yum



Welding them Up I clamped a flat peice of alloy on the back to keep shape, as mig steel wont weld well to alloy. and then flipped over and Oxy weled the other side to get heat and good penration on then

[CXGPWR]

Choice at the head, just ensure its the same as its from the cxg f10a not a carry, could be different. Hope it all gravey though

[cheater_5]

Anyway dropped head off and looks like its just a hole in the core plugs that has caused the problem, apprently pretty common, will find out tomorrow
Anyway, just been plotting away at the window reg today





And would be so keen on 12's but mega HARD to find etc

Simple as, yeah might just buy those 12.5 comerical rims and tires for like $200, they roll pretty low profiles Really
