ITS GREEEEEN

[Sundowner]

Well Sundowner, you have far too much telent thats going to waste. you should be doing my van for me instead.. lol

I would love to help with your van but i barely get time to work on mine i have a few people wanting me to do stuff for them but i have to knock it back

[Sundowner]

Front end is back in and nearly time to drop it on its wheels still a few small things to do like rear shackles and rebuilt hubs but its geting close

Whats been done to the front end:

Completely stripped down and every single peice cleaned checked and then coated

New eye, shackle and swaybar bushes

New kingpins and tie rod ends

Swaybar bead blasted and powder coated in K-mac orange

Reassembled, all bolts torqued to factory specs except for eye and shackle bolts that will be torqued once everything is back on and its on its wheels








I like how the orange realy pops out at you


next will be the instaling the custom greasable shackles and reco'ing the front hubs and fitting a pair of 325mm discs

[Sundowner]

Thanks guys

Well Daz it should be rolling real soon but only down hills, engine and box is still a long way off

Im just about to make my own big brake kit for it using slotted 325mm BMW discs and GTR skyline calipers
this conversion should work on all 5 and 6 stud mk2's and yes there will be plenty of pics and "how to" details

Well it seems that the brake conversion will be set back till around march as i have to wait for Discs Brakes Australia (DBA) to pour some undrilled discs as they dont stock blank discs

soory to hear about the hold up Sundowner, maybe you can finish the motor in that time..

Hi, great thread and progress Mate, Truely inspiring.

Is that a TE ghia istrument cluster in there?
i was thinking of doing it cos it looked like a close fit?

i'll be doing an engine swap on mine in February i reckon, and then My transit rescue should come along pretty quickly.

[madmax]

i have seen you driving around, looking good.
