You'll never guess why the engine wouldn't go back in and how long it took me to find it

Two dowel pins aren't better than one , at least not in the same position (one in block, one in bellhousing)

I was looking for 1.5 mins

Did a wee recovery this morning that got me out of the house.
Still have the right hand CV shaft to fit.

Cheers,

Dont be so modest was more like 30seconds

Oh well at least it was found sooner than later and motor is pretty much installed now

Cheers

You're still wanting to drive that thing

My mate came round today with his new Gt-t Caldina - so all in all, a pretty Toyota-filled weekend for me

Checkin out the new found negative camber on the rear wheel


A bit of a squeeze onto the trailer


And the carnage:



A real WTF breakage. I'm busting to know where the Ute went last weekend, co's axles don't just break trundling down the road at 50kph

body finally off after last weekend didn't go as planed and ready for the tidy up.now if only i had the money to find sas components

made a drop down hitch for my new towbar, best of both worlds, low profile for offroad and low enough to tow a car trailer, will be trying it out during the week to see if its up to the task before doing a w.e of towing to taupo

took the 40 for a blat around the south coast beaches to catch up with the beer_cruisers and beer_tara at their bach on friday night, drank, ate and talked heaps of shit, came back sat morning and headed up to rallywoods and gave Reece a hand to smash heaps of nails into the new gazebo extension, had lunch and a few coldies then mowed a couple of thousand hectares of grass with Taz around green hut, waterblasted all last weekends mud off the 40 on sunday and as ubz said....

awesome weekend.

nice, how much rubber in the gaurds from the workshop boy ripping skids?

cut some stuff off
welded some stuff on
decided that what i welded on was the most muppet shit idea
went for a swim
cut some muppet shit idea stuff off
started welding more stuff... might finish it this week....

Had a blast on some forest tracks with some great guys....

Put a bonnet scoop on the Disco and wished I had done it earlier. Reduced temps by 6 degrees up my long local hill and didn't need to put on the extra fans on when having a blast offroad.....

Bit late posting...

Solid day had at woodhill:

Tripled the number of dents, busted the power steering, lost all the camber shims on one side. Worst of all, damaged what sounds like a big end...

Time for a new engine I guess.
