Just been messing Around with the small stuff.. The 1600 crossflow, its got a 32/36 weber and has a 234 cam. Gave it abit of tlc, so should run mint through summer. Flushed the radiator, changed the oil and replaced all filters also checked/rewired everything in the engine bay that looked dodge (found two shit connections, lucky i found these now & not at 2am on the side of the road or something trying to diagnose whats wrong) The fitment of the aftermarket tailights for eskies is shit to say the least. They sat a good 10mm out from body and were uneven. I spent some time filing the outer lense to suit my panels & messed around with the housing. I re-drilled new pilot holes & eventually i got them sitting nice & flush Got all my sound insulation down. In goes the carpet don't think my cars seen carpet for about 8 months now! Also this arrived in the mail!! Still waiting on my other stuff, split the orders up avoid customs fees

haha yeah true that, brakes are looking good i'm just trying to decide what i want to use

Congrats on getting in man, look forward to saluting you in a year or so haha

A little bit of inspiration

Car made the 10 hour trip back home from wellys to whangarei without missing a beat Bought a bunch of suspension components today, got some adjustable shocks for the rear, a 2.4 quick rack, anti-dive kit & I'm replacing all bushes to Polyurethane. Can't wait untill these arrive should be fun to drive Stripped out all the interior and got into spraying all the nooks & cranny's with a couple of coats of fish oil, will allow a good week of drying before i install a bunch of sound insu that i bought, hopefully this reduces all the in-cabin noise or I'm going to have to chock my engine a bit and put a pee-shooter on it, Its loud Photo of different grill put on. Few photos of my diff, its a 4.1 LSD + housing out of a rn25 Hilux, should fit nicely!

Really cant decide if i should go all out and get a s15 vvt + 6 speed manual Or just chuck a redtop in?

Doesn't ring a bell mate. Eventually found the correct hub, installed new wheel bearings in both front hubs.All electrical issues now solved, just need to pick up some insulation from wellington and reinstall interior W.O.F here i come!!! haha All i need now is to buy the engine so i can start building it up and get a few more bits & pieces, suspension, brakes etc.

Cheers, working good as

Yes, yes i believe it may be . (Palm to Face) Haha, im going to go have a look now be back in 30, cheers

OK calling out to any electrical gurus, i have no indicators at all when i flick them on, have no response from dash either So a couple of wierd things have been happening When i apply the brakes the R/H indicator light on the dash lights up. The bulb itself does not I have checked the basics Fuses, replaced bulbs, checked connections, replaced indicator stalk and checked again ....clueless

Dropped these off to rimrite, literally good as new. Very promptly done ( 2 days ) as well and for a good price. Can't complain at all, tire was fucked bead was ripped. At least i now have matching wheels

Oh wow, good luck man! yeah for sure, im based in linton camp although we move around the country a bit as i am a carpenter.

My disks are fine its just they have a different pcd to the hub i bought so can't fit them

Any ideas on why my indicators may not be working. At all, no nothing. Ivé checked the basics & im clueless

yeah was a rough measurment :icon_smile: yeah the disks on the other hub were defiantly smaller. hopefully i can find one that will fit

Cheers, yeah that would be a lot easier, No doubt the tire is fucked if it exploded or possibility of being repaired? ( probably a stupid question but hey never know )

Rota skokotan's yeah they are not multi piece I'm working done in wellys 6 days a week, so someone in wellys would suit, cheers though

As the title says, it worth repairing these or just buy a new wheel? Cheers

Car as it sits now .....just needs more low

Most likey convert my struts to coil-over with new shocks, front and rear. 2 link, strut brace and all new bushes

After many many weeks... the eskie will be rolling out the paint shop next week! got its last coat of paint on friday. Stoked its finally there even though it took alot longer than expected

jealous Keen to see how they go

Nice man that's going to be wicked with that screaming 4age What brake set-up are you going to run? remote booster or none? what front & rear discs you going for?

Escort diff's are around 1380 overall right? Would i need to get one at 1400 shortened? dont have access to my car tonight to measure up, but if i have 10mm+ play in my guards should be sweet a?

Yeah best to get it done properly save your ass in the future Nah i don't, i know a few wreckers down here have some escorts ill have a look when i get my wheels
