Well done - I like that you have reverted it back to original, big job and great effort.

I like the sounds of this build Ive got 3 EZ30's (03-07 2nd gen / plastic intake) all still in cars im wrecking, from good runner 177k to one with with blown headgaskets. If you need to measure up, see whats needed / take the whole lot on a subframe just let me know (I nomally drop them out with the subframe / suspension still on them). I could let you know when the next one is out. Also have an EZ36 from a 2010 BR Outback (blown headgaskets) but in my opinion not alot extra hp / talks for the extra cubes.

@Mitch.WFlick me a message - Im out oxford / West eyreton ways have space in the paddock with the other derelicts

Special thanks to @Banga for the awesome deal on the front bench seat, even had it delivered from middle north to 15 mins from my house (thanks to his other halfs event being just up the road). It looks great and is comfy as and matches the doorcards / dash - pulled the cover off the rear and its 2 different colours (I thought it was the same green) so will get those recovered once its on the road.

Nice Truck, they seem to be quite a capable 4WD - I brought a rusty petrol one to part out. I still have panels some windows and trim from interior. Mint brown rear seat too. SIng out if / when you need bits. Bits on the TM so far https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/search?search_string=pajero&member_listing=7468710&user_region=100&bof=tvjYfEcr

New level of 'its to far gone', to anyone else 'parts car' but to you 'ah just a little bit of rust' - Your work is awesome man.

OK so I was all into this a few years back but with used ATF - I 50/50'd it in my D21 Navara for around 2 years straight out of customers ATF flush machines. Yes I probably should have filtered it - but didnt. The ute is a 93 TD27 non turb ski, had 160km on the clock and I noticed no difference in power, ease of starting, fuel consumption etc - it was happy days until the fuel pump started leaking. $900 rebuild later and i was like well was it worth it? The fuel pump builder was like "WTF is this guy running this thing on, its all oily as shit in here" but as expected when I asked him, the pump was just original and worn out (shaft etc). So probably wasnt the ATF. Ran it in the Turbo Diesel Terrano (mechanical pump) for a while too - the pump already had a small leak and it didn't get any worse. Had that pump rebuilt about a year later. I haven't done it since as diesel was at an ok price - Ive got a 44G drum full that's been sealed and sitting for 4 years so I'm thinking if I pump from the middle all the shit will either be at the top or bottom. Would definitely filter it this time. Filtering mechanically with say a hydro pump and filter id say you would want a non bypass filter to make sure you're getting everything, using a micron the same or smaller than your fuel filter would be the go, i've seen filter material you can put over a 205L drum like a sock. Chip oil would be the same, you don't want them chip bits lol. Ive just remembered the Inter tractor is diesel so might use it in that and report back. Also a warning - only for the old diesels - alot of vids etc out there with newer stuff really not liking it.

I think it needs to be louder for that 'delta' exhaust noise wicked cool car - just love the group A look. Can you hook up some antilag too for lol's

Some more oddball grandad mods - unknown when these radiator area 'deflectors' were installed, It might have cooled a bit better, don't know if to leave or remove.

Yay - rear bumper brackets, need to be bent back into shape but brackets none the less. Also need to find those chrome dome bolts etc to attach the bumper as all i have a a bucket of jap nuts and bolts

So bit the bullet and brought this engine of an older fella on trademe. 1500cc block with a GT head on it, double valve springs, apparently has a cam, set of extractors and a rebuilt carb. I also scored a Mk1 4 speed floor shift with driveshaft and other associated bits. He has spares so once back together I can raid him if needed. The escort engine in it will be sold off once the new engine is in, mostly for bolt raiding etc if i need to. Cortina Nats - here we come

K swap - already has the 4WD - some drag civics are down in the 7's lol Heres a 'street legal' one with casual 1000hp

This plus one To give you an example of old and saggy springs, I got some Cobra 50mm raised rear coils for my D21 Terrano as it tows alot. Well it must have towed alot previous to me as the 50mm raise actually raised it 85mm (the 35mm sag then 50mm lift). Had to re-index the front torsion bars and raise that up a bit just to get rid of the massive rake . Cobra's are made by chamberlains and i highly recommend them off my own experience.

Just brought a 2001 Honda Stream (family wagon) with the K20 (K20A2 from memory - there arte a few types) Can confirm - goes hard for what it is lol. needs intake for the dort noises. Good on fuel, cam chain too - later ones are even better. Had to change a knock sensor and it has the usual rocker cover and front crankshaft oil seal leaks, other than as above, pretty trouble free engine. Another common issue is the cams starving of oil due to poor servicing but if they have started to get a groove on you could just upgrade them while your at it. Great swap for a little oldie like yours.

She's been purring of late. I struck a deal with the neighbor for a row of shelter belt trees she had lopped off at ground level by one of those diggers with a massive claw. She asked him to lay them out evenly to make things a bit easier to move but she got home and there are 2 massive stacks all pick up stick like. I have spent the last couple of months just here and there towing a few through two gates and about 50-60m to our place. Ive only got a pile of ones she had 'topped' left to go now, so without the massive trunks on them which should be an afternoons work. Love the tractor has high and low box, a few of those logs are pretty heavy and it would only move them in low 1 and full tilt. Ill take a couple of years worth of wood for us and then should any OSers need some pine next year ill have it split and will be selling by the trailer load / cube to help recoup mine and the neighbors costs. First mod - removing the door - bloody thing keep swinging around in the breeze and was generally getting in the way. Exhaust fell off - luckily a temp one was an EL Falcon away (fits on for now, as it came off the car, didnt even bother making it look better.) Will have a straight pipe with flap made up, because sounds boss with no muffler
