nzstato Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sound proofing: Was going to give the floors a quick go with the wire brush Paint with POR15 Use dynamat or something similar Not expecting miracles but anything should be better that what it is now.

DonMcDazzle Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looking good mate, where did you get the new door tops from in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzstato Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 From this fella http://www.bjautos.co.nz/ was $160ish + GST each, plus I got a length of the window channel to cut down to size. Wasn't too difficult to swap the glass over. Had a fair bit of use today. Cleaned out the front garden and took a load to the tip. Then took the roof off to go get a load of bark, I love this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMcDazzle Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Nice one thanks mate. Glad to hear you're enjoying cruising it round, although very jealous (as mine is still under maintenance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzstato Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Went up and borrowed my mates press, was able to swab out the pinion bearings without a)hurting myself b)damaging the press and/or the pinion c) damaging any of the very expensive cars around me - win. Will have photos up in the next day or two of me detailing assembly of the diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ha- I remember doing all this to my old series 2. It was a $500 special but actually was in very good nick. That is until I had it at top of hill servicing brakes then wanted to move it down a bit then it got away on me and only way to stop was pull transmission brake on. Bang clunk clunk clunk. I blew many bits apart in the main box. Bugger. And boy are the boxes heavy!!! I had to replace many bits. other than that the old thing never let me down with many miles of very fun 4wding trips. My brother had a 2A with a holden 202 and LPG. Big wheels. was quite quick actually. But did like to drink. So many snowboarding trips up to Mt Hutt in the early 90's were had in that. I could never get along with the throttle pedal position though- awkward on long trips and got tired ankle. My cousin borrowed it and blew the top off the number 5 piston- apparently a common thing on those engines? Yep- landies are awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattscort Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 +1 the acelerator pedal is awkward as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzstato Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Real? Havent found that issue yet, but I havent driven it that far (it was screaming its nuts off at 70k). Thinking about flagging a day off work tomorrow to finish up the rear axle, need to drill and weld in a new fill bung. Then need someone to give me a hand to lift them back onto the springs.

CaMpylobacter Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I was told that 202s hate too much timing advance and as alex said they knock the tops off the pistons apparently. weird. my accelerator pedal is lush enough, although the pedal ratio is all up the shit after converting it to half linkage, half cable spec. also I need to bend it as it got hung up in the factory mats the other day and went full skids on valve bounce on me. lol love seeing full on axle rebuilds like this. good work!

My name is Russell Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 also I need to bend it as it got hung up in the factory mats the other day and went full skids on valve bounce on me. lol Ah yes! I remember it doing that to me once or twice now you mention it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 that bracing on rear diff housing is factory. so weird/'hack' for factory bracing when you look at it but apparently it is! My SIIA has it too, and when I saw that I went searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzstato Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hmm good to know. This rear diff has had a brazing repair somewhere along the line too, just above the drain. A common area to damage. Considering buying some diff bash plates if I want to get serious with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 does yours still have the fabric check straps on the rear too? yeah all the ladrover jokers seem to add bashplates. I wouldn't have thought them to be any more or less vulnerable than Toyota stuff and nobody really seems to do much with them. worth doing though what's yours brake like?

nzstato Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 It has most of them, its not the best top so going to go round to a local business and see it is worth repairing. Failing that I'll get one for $400 ex UK. Not sure what they toyotas are like but the diff housing in that area is pretty thin.... Brakes are ok (though woeful by modern terms), probably could be a touch better if I spent some time on them. The booster has been a hassle though - when the diesel conversion was done it was just a straight pipe from the alt pump to the booster. I've added an additional tank since I got it which is an improvement, could probably do with a new booster though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 choice. by check straps I meant the fabric straps on the rear frame that stop diff over extending the shocks pretty interested in seeing what the canvas topped 'rovers are like. Never been in one lol. might do some tyre kicking when one comes up on the tard locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
