tortron Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 bit o progress today removed most of the interior i.e a few scraps of foul carpet and a few of the lower trim panels and seats and started removing the black tar shit on the floors for por-15'ng new toy = ahooga horn, cant wait to try it plan on adjusting the front torsion bars 1 spline to get about 1.3 inch drop up front, also looking into either having leaves reset/lowering blocks i have no love at all for this choice in carpet inside of the 1st aid kit under back seat, wonder what its for, maybe for oiling the diff or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Update interior is now stripped/sitting in my room interior is POR-15'd Interior now has 3 inches of water in it.... plans - drill hole and place grommets in floor, have patched front and rear screens with windscreen sealant and have ordered some other rubbers. found some rust, not worth mentioning its so tiny Have installed an ahoogahh horn, not quite giving the sound i want so may fiddle with it sometime also am having rear brakes rebuilt (cheaper than getting new ones) so men. just acquired this fine piece of automotive protection for the princely sum of $1.50 consider it money in the bank apdate 10/4/08 holes have been drilled, grommets fitted - all very pro looking now have everything for my brakes ready to go in (picked up cylinders yesterday, along with new fittings and pipe, rubber covers came today along with some seals for under my front and rear quarter windows which are in a hilariously shrunken condition) handbrake cable was sticking, so hopefully iv sorted that out. Plan on having it all back in this afternoon update 13/4/08 brakes are now sorted, will rebleed them in a week to make sure no air is in there - not that a morries brakes are all that chuff anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 ok, brakes did not = sorted now have rebuilt 3 of the 4 front cylinders and am having 1 resleeved and also getting another master cylinder hopefully have that sorted by mid next week - so that basicly means i will have rebuilt the entire brake system on the plus side i should need never worry about them again, downside is that it has sapped my pocket money and time that i was wanting to paint and interior with, so that has been pushed back. Hopefully i can get it gone in a couple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 whats this? - a robot! cant seem to get the pinstriping how i want it - got some more colours now so will try again oh yea - my car is now covered in black blotches where i have treated and painted all the surface rust not just any old (key word:OLD) heater this one is for cars with no waterpump - uses ducted air from behind the radiator in great nic - however the wiring looks somewhat dodgy - will pull it apart sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
