Yeah been looking at buying a Milwaukee setup also. But to be honest I do most my spannering with a 3/8 compact air rachet. Perfect for all sorts of stuff and can get in places a battery packed unit never will. It's not the big stuff that takes the time.  Its the small stuff like covers and sumps and rockers that take the longest. 3/8 air is perfect for undoing and especially doing up that sort of stuff. 

Although @KKtrips from memory the compressor you bought was one of those 3 piston jobbies from super cheap....? How you find that thing?  I really need to commit to buying a compressor. 

Thanks for the offer me old mate! 

I actually got motivated and pretty much pulled half of the the motor apart this evening anyway. 

So probably won't bother now haha. 

When your wag going to panel beaters? 

So hi guys!

I have accepted that im going to be pulling my hilux motor apart,  

So was wondering if anyone had a reasonable single phase air compressor they might not be using for a few weeks.  Needs to be able to handle a 1/2 inch rattle guy.

I can survive without, but would actually make the job twice as quick. 

Any help would be appreciated and can provide payment slash bless your family with great honor. 

Thanks a plenty.

Black around the bottom suggests rust repairs

Twas rad! Good job. Nice yarns. Would trade again. 

He should finish his cortina.

Go hard with the mods? 

Yeah I know why it started running away lol. Bit gutted im now going to be pulling the motor down for a cheeky ring and head over haul. 

Its a Toyota L. So the 2.2. No throttle plate etc.

Had noticed it had been getting a little smokey recently and been making an odd chuffing noise. 

Im more gutted as I was actually about to chuck it up on here for sale.  Ah well.  

Diesel run away. .....

So I had my diesel in my hilux start running away from me this evening while going down a decent hill. 

I wasn't able to pull off the road till I got to the bottom.  However at this point the engine stopped running and I assumed it had demo'd its self.  The trail of smoke Dow the Road was epic. A cop also happened to be behind me at the time lol but thankfully he understood when I said the motor is now dead. 

So once he felt I was very surprised to find it still had some oil in it and it still ran once I primed the fuel system again.  First thing I had done while going down the hill was turn the key off to cut the fuel. 

Was one hell of an experience. 

Anyway question.  Can anyone think why it would manage to stop once on flat land?  Its a none turbo.  Unfortunately was all caused by blow by I would say.

Pizzzzzzzzza! 

Oh and fuck yea Hawkes boes. 

are the wheels 14's or 15's????

So jealous either way haha!

lol

When you own a Business and Have a hobby, but no where to house said Hobby. 

To be honest It might not even be a Problem.

When I got cert done, my speedo read about 20km out at 100.

However I guess it all comes down to the person at the time.

Well Fuck

Whats everyones plans next Saturday night???

It looks like its in the right place

Re brake rotor.  It's most likely going to be fine,  but they certainly could have done a better job lol. But by the looks they have only done a mild skim.

As for the flare nuts.  They will still be metric thread but for some reason most flare nuts seem to have 11mm heads instead of 10. I get this all the time at work. 

Brakes look good.  I assume they have been ultra sonic cleaned.

Keep up the good work. 

Yeah you moonshiners are fucking lazy

turns out I just really like side profile pics these days

todays efforts were average

I should learn to camera

Way to much of that sun thing going on.

ended up just mincing around seaview as it was close to lock up and had shit to do

This an ali pipe? Been looking at something similar,  but would totally be mounting from under. 

Looking good.  Keep up the Lords work. 

That spot has a gate these days. 

Which is a shame because it's rad.

@kicker you happen to have a map location for that?

this was the port.

I suspect its none accessable now
