Jeffs_Emporium Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I then spent saturday putting in the 24 buckets and shims. I had no idea of the order so just wacked them all in and checked clearances. Only had to swap 3 out for spares to get within specs. Repco had mechpro torque wrenches on special for $39.99 so the head was torqued down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Where I'm up to now. Just needing to purchase spark plugs and waterpump really, might do dizzy cap and rotor while I'm there as they are looking pretty manky. Really hoping to get this all together and back in the hole and running over the next 4 weeks 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffs_Emporium Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Had a clutch hard line made up as I didnt like the look of the braided stainless one. Finished assembling motor and gearbox and put them in the hole, half the wiring done, most of the front end reassembled. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffs_Emporium Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Camber modded f series subframe back from sandblast and powdercoating. Facelift gx61 unless they're factory twin can come with a smaller 6.7" t series diff. To upgrade you just need the crossmember and diff. The rest is interchangeable 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Not having a good time. Probably should have sorted the subframe before shopping for tyres. May reluctantly end up running 7 inch rear and 7.5 inch front to get through cert. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Beat the inner guard lip with a hammer and trimmed the chrome edge to suit around where I folded the lip. Planning on a full re-spray post certification so things like this can be painted and undersealed then 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeffs_Emporium Posted January 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Chrome sill and arch trims put back on have managed to get the rear down to 250mm wheel hub to guard but untill I get to wheel alignment there's no telling if I'm within camber specs. Have ordered an airbox from a 1gge gx71 via yahoo. Doing some measuring on a friends car the intake pipe with temp sensor has the same pcd as my 1geu afm meaning I should be able to bolt it up to my stock airbox to keep things looking like the car came with the engine from the factory. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then tried to bleed brakes and realised what the tubes were for that came with new master cylinder which I threw out yesterday, called it a day. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
