The Surf Finally gets a revamp!!!

Conan · Post by **Conan** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 12:35 pm

at last my surf is getting some power, by means of a 5M supra and some lift at the rear to finally do it some justice....

good ole supralux from chch offered me the donk to drop in it at a reasonable price so i headed up his way with the intentions of a motor transplant.......

so after 3 and a half days of tinkering its ready to drop in.. yay....
"it may hit the IFS sump" echoes round the room...
(who said that ? we heard nothing..)

sure enough there aint much in the way of space under that sump so ........... steve twists my big rubber arm, we super size our meal and grab a SAS to go....

its been a week or so and ive left steve up there with all the good jobs; eg which is pretty much everything minus grinding of all the IFS crap from the chassis

still got no computer so no pics till later in the week, ill post some then and show you how its looking

Got a look at your truck Conan last week. I'm impressed with you metal polishing skills!!!! :lol:

It will make a bloody nice canvas to start the SAS on.

Have fun dude

anyone know where i can get a cheap bike?? looks like im using the deadly treadly for a week or two more than hoped (for the best though

)

it began as just an engine swap..

then came the solid axle swap...

now adding falcons to the list..

woop woop

If anyone is wondering where I got to, ask Conan. I'm bleary eyed, running on fumes and not really sure which way is up right now...

However I have an IFS surf sitting on fancy Hilux rear springs in the front, a nice solid axle and some 'coon springs sitting beside it and a Supra ready to be thrown in the hole...

If I could just get a couple of hours sleep I'd probably stop welding things in the wrong place and cutting off things I need... oh well, the engine mount looks good under the axle, kind of like a small air brake

And brakes? I've said it before... who needs stinkin brakes?

I'd better get back to it... crushed finger, blurred vision, tight timeframe and all... Conan is a hard taskmaster... "Here, just put that axle thingy there, weld that, grind that and she's all done"... "I'll just pop back to QT for a few days, make sure its finished when I get back..."

*sigh* :roll:
