Its outside! so the gas just blows away
There only 60 LTR so you get about 15-20 mins per one! I had to make all the brackets and feet too!
looking forward to seeing this when it finishes mate
Me too!
Bodgetastic.com, Excellent Ben love it matey... just teh way it should be Doing everything yourself
Hope the engine goes in easy for you and it gives you a big smile when you first turn that key
Lol, I love it tbh not really a fan of driving them lol (I cant drive for s**t)
Just like working things out and taking time to make things look mint
Sorted out the final brake line, covered the hole in the firewall, fitted the brake vac pipe and started on the heat shield tonight!
Bent the new line to shape and fitted it in place, once I knew it was right I secured it with a P clip!
To fit the brake vac pipe I ordered a few meters of 9mm samco vac tubing in red (to match the hoses) Then cut the old plastic pipe near the servo. The new pipe is a uber tight fit over the old plastic one but I stuck a cable tie on to be double safe! (I added one more to be double double safe! Its not going anywhere!)
Had to modify the old holder as the new pipe was too fat and it was being crushed, but that was a easy fix.
Next I bought a sheet of bodywork steel to blank the hole in the fire wall. Measured it up and cut it off.
Just had to cut the slots out for the brake lines
I bought some more tiger seal and stuck it flat on the fire wall! Then sealed the gaps for the pipes
I then got the nibus heat shield and measured up
Made the cuts and started to bend it to shape!
More tomorrow!

I had 4 new tyres, exhust mounts, battery, some suspensions bits, think I had the brakes looked at myself not sure what got changed, not the discs that's for sure, some stuff to do with the lights
That's it I think, not as vast as what u have gone through but cost a fair bit tbh.
