Usually I flip the drum and put a few wheel nuts on by a few threads and use the drum as a slide hammer

I've messaged karl already. We have a couple here will look over them and make sure they're not obviously cracked later this arvo with any luck

Can you stich it with threaded inserts?

Karls turbo cedric hummed along at 100k easy as. 4.1 diff and it had 185r14c on it at the time in 5th works out about 2500rpm. I think these days it actually has a rb25det turbo on it .

What sorta revs you gonna aim for at 100k? 2500ish?

A good size intercooler and an egt gauge to keep an eye on Temps is a must

The gearbox seemed to be the weakness in that so the auto should fix that. 12psi and some fuel and it'll probably make all the power you need for a camper

Did you ever drive @- i5oogt - turbo ld 260c?

Pays to take new cylinders apart and lube the seals with red rubber grease as often new ones are put together pretty dry and can pick up the seals and leak quite quickly. The rubber grease just keeps things moving better and helps prevent moisture ingress

Asking for the underseal to be removed because it might be hiding something is like asking to remove undertrays because they might be hiding something Totally unreasonable

Also the play in the rack will be the rack end bush they just fall apart. I had to pull the rack out of my wagon and do both ends for a wof quite ealry on in my ownership

Sounds pretty rough . If you can pull carpet and seats to show the floor is in good condition and sills are too etc take pics for future reference. As has been said. There is no reason for a wof inspector to order old underseal to be removed. If there is obviously poor repairs and corrosion that's a different story but it sounds like it's just goopy old underseal. I'd be finding a new wof station He's probably looking at the scruffy paint and just finding a reason to not put a wof on it Also surface rust isn't a fail. He's just finding more reasons to turn you away

Just color over the underseal. You'll need to make sure it's paint overable At work we just a Ra Johnson water based one and once it's cured just key jt and paint jt
