[QLD] 8:00am 31st May/1st June - Manual Conversion Weekend

[whats_doing]

Off to a good start I see.

 

[AKKO]

Lol he obviously wants to sell it

 

[Guest]

Did you get the conversion started yet

 

[Rabit]

Did any action take place today. I cant afford the fuel or I would have been there.

 

[pretzil]

oh my god it was the absolute best day everz!!!! all those people who said they would come must be kicking themselves! oh well, there's always tomorrow

 

[AKKO]

Bit of an anticlimax then eh?

 

[vr4cobra]

haha he got up shortly after
have gotten alot done today but I got called away for 3hrs for work so bit behind lol majority of it will be done tomorrow leaving Monday night for final touches and testing make sure all aok.

 

[AKKO]

Started yet this morning?

 

[vr4cobra]

Engine and box are in, shift cables etc are in. BJ will fit a few more bits and pieces tonight and if all goes well tomorrow night it will be running. Unfortunately the guys who swapped BJs engine over 30,000km ago somehow thought torquing everything to 500nm was a great idea lol so alot of undoing things took much longer then should have been but getting there in the end.
thanks to Rick and his mate for helping us this weekend and especially BJs mum for feeding us

 

[Rabit]

Sounds like things are moving along nicely. The Leggy should be ready for the Drags on the 25th then. (he says tongue in cheek)

 

[AKKO]

Got spare driveshafts / diff ?

 

[AKKO]

Progress update... How's the left knee?

 

[vr4cobra]

not much progress last night I finished work too late and lost light too early to do much. Bj had a few things he could do after I left so if I can get out of work on time today we might be able to get her going. We are on the home stretch tho so apart for front suspension and CV's all hard work is done just time consuming fiddly bits remain, top her full of oil and testing away

 

[PUDG3_VR4]

Got the interior back together last night apart from gearknob & need to bolt clutch pedal to clutch master.
Y-pipes are all on, power steering lines re-routed to old transcooler (YAY NO MORE SHITTY PIPE)
Just need to do front pipes, cross bar, half shafts, tailshaft, cvs, suspension, wiring, piping & front bar
Can someone give me a vacuum line diagram for the stuff on the firewall?

 

[vr4cobra]

or u could look at mine and copy where they go lol

 

[jungle]

[AKKO]

[pretzil]

Foglights snipped yet?
