All good bro, I'm just offering these up as I hate to see this shit wasted..

A trailer/van would be preferable This is how they are now(photo x2).. about 1000x600x400 Have till about 8pm then we smash 3k worth of cupboards and throw them in the skip, along with all the lights ... A massive waste

As per the title, I'm up here pulling a bling shop out in Manukau westfield and have about 12 cupboards that are too good to throw, so if you need/want some cupboards and about 25 3ft fluorescent lights (doubles) come to the service entrance Westfield manukau about 6-630 tonight.. don't have to take them all, its just they're bloody good for garage/house cupboards, lockable with keys ... swap for steinlager or if your poor/total tight arse then free.. Ph 021508073.. Thomas..

Big thanks to Pete (Valiant) for pressing my bearings and finding a collar.. thanks bro, I owe you one. Finished rear brakes etc, although i have discovered some cracking on the rear discs, not so much the disc but the edge of the drum. I can only assume its from have the hand brake on for 10 years while in storage.. its a fucken good hand brake so the pressure must have been too much for the drum as it seems to have cracked directly opposite each other, yes.. 2 cracks in each drum, bullshit as new drums are about 300 each. Its not really that bigger issue as I'm gonna shorten my borgwarner diff to fit.. pics newly pressed bearings cracking.. Also sorted my shortend steering column for the power steering upgrade, now have to buy some shortened shocks to captivate the rear springs and the rears done, get a flywheel so I can install this friggen engine.. gonna be some slow progress as I have to fly to auckers on and off for the next four months to build some shops up there..

nothing major, backing plates cleaned up nice, discs are getting skimmed..

I reckon I might have to stick my crown in there.. cant go wrong for $10, sea spray doesn't do much for classics

yeah bro.. still have to get another bearing but that shouldn't take to long.. way over the other side of town tho, I's workin up mt pleasant.. might wait for a rainy afternoon unless I can sort an early one..

yeah?.. where abouts are you?

yeah, spose they should.. just paranoid about stuff bending and breaking so a shop that partly specialises in pressing bearings would be preferred..

Can anyone recommend to me a good local engineering shop where I can have my axle bearings pressed (off and on).. cheers

sorry to bring up an oldie, can you clarify must exit perimeter of passenger compartment?. I might not be able to fit a 3" pipe over my diff so would want to do a side exit (is a coupe) or maybe just dump it before the exhaust, tho apparently that can cause cancer..

Some uninteresting pics.. cleaned stripped backing plates ready for paint.. gay axles.. here you can see just how much room there is between the diff and bump stop.. might have to try and relocate the bump stop elsewhere..

Pulled my axles today and discovered the cause of the grinding.. 10 years of not moving must have collapsed the bearings in the back, they're very clunky, already have a bearing for one side so just have to find one for the other.. decided that while everything's off I might as well clean up the brake assemblies. not really much to go now, I have a small list of things I'll need to buy, they include shortened shocks for the rear, a flywheel, link loom and I'm also considering a pc link upgrade for my link as hand controllers seem to be as rare as hens teeth and for the price of them I might as well convert as it'll be easier to tune with a computer.. also a small list of things to complete to be ready for compliance..

Also if you hear a noisy lifter even when the engine is warm its because the lifter is bleeding off pressure and therefore increases valve lash producing a ticking noise..

generally if a lifter doesn't hold pressure its bung.. should get a nice lumpy cam.. 224/234@50" hydro is up the top for a standard valve train..

how many k's have they done?

or XC, they had the later style handbrake actuator along with XD

from 10 to 30 bucks a week!!.. thats some cheap storage, I wonder what you get for 10

I think they're a good idea, was just responding to carguy's post...

I always get paranoid when prospective buyers ask for my address and then never turn up..

how much of a killer would that be....

The rain fucked me up today so I spent most of the day finishing the front suspension... painted the discs/hubs, before and after... cleaned up the calipers and gave them a lick of silver.. they're gold from factory but I reckon thats too bling.. also installed tie rods, idler arm and p/s box

installed rear springs today, pain in the ass to get to shock towers.. gonna look kind of crap compared to the now freshly rebuilt front suspension, springs in and on the ground.. on the original lowered springs.. no where near as low as I'd like, lowest point is about 125mm but there isn't much room between the diff and factory bump stops.. the fronts are captive with shortened struts but I'll have to find some rear shocks shortened by around 75mm.. gap between diff and b/s resting

It would normally but your vacuum is really high, if it drives ok and there's no hesitation around 2k rpm it may be best to leave it
