  1. Wow, cool! What's the back story? How did it come to be parked up for a decade? Well done.
  2. Fugg. It's been ages. I got a WOF on this for the first time in 4 years.it still had the LPG in it from when I swapped to the big tank. I ran out of enthusiasm for the rust repairs so it sat for ages. I paid someone to fix the remaining rust, paint it etc. Then ran out of enthusiasm again. Finally got my ass into gear, pulled all the grille lights bumper etc to bits. Gave them all a good clean, repaint and polish then put it all back together. Big thanks to Bart @RUNAMUCK for donating a replacement eyebrow trim. It's made all the difference. I also made up a new stainless crankcase breather setup. It seals with o rings and seems to have stopped the breathing problem. In saying that I really given it the curry since I fitted it. Anyway. I've owned this car for 19 years and it's finally the way I envisioned it to be. It'll probably blow up now and I'll be back at the start. We'll see. Here's some pics. I need to stay away from crappy straight six Australian cars.
  3. I made a Killdozer body for a Tonka Bulldozer.
  4. Spotted on my Instagram feed recently.
  5. 80s Mitsubishi. Smokey. Who knew?
  6. Hi Alex. Have you considered a balance or X pipe between the banks before the muffler? I'm not %100 on the science, it does help smooth the sound and quieten things down though. The J pipes are interesting. I wonder how they work? Increasing the muffler volume? IDK. What is the shift pattern? is it conventional 5 speed?
  7. Clint. I'm worried about you.
  8. Well done Alex. I'm delighted the gearbox concept works!
  9. @JustHarry Yeah Fuck. Put my name down. @cletus?
  10. 2" compression bent exhaust with an oval muffler and coby. Tradition, over trend. I always found the factory Sport extractors with small primaries and 4/2/1 design to work best.
  11. Hilux, Hiace or Estima might be a good option?
  12. That's a bugger. Getting it up to temp then retorquing the heads might help?
