Latest Update:

It Drives!!!!

Greg came over last night for a bit of a mid week spanner spinning session.

~ Bolted in the new 6:1 chrome tcase
~ Fitted up all the drive shafts, this was where the problem lay waiting. The jack shaft uni was shagged so we used one of my spares (Complete jack shaft) only to find that the flange was different (88's have smaller flanges like NT's) so we had to whip a flange off another piece of unused tail shaft to fit it up, both Greg and I now both know the intimate inner details of zook uni's.
~ Tightened up all the front end (Left loose after the chassis ext.
~ Bled the breaks and adjusted the clutch and away we went.

A quick spin around the block with no doors, windscreen, bikini bar or tail lights also revealed a strange burning smell which we worried to be a shorted wire but soon found a split heater hose (Because of the body lift)

Low range was coool with 29's however I'm picking up my rims this morning and will hopefully fit the swampers to them tomorrow morning, still need to paint some remaining panels and work out a small fuse blowing problem (tonight)

Still looking a posibility for a bit of a run on saturday but but no t not a strong possibility.

Thanks again for your help Greg and the use of you "Small hands"

Todays update:

Not a lot done tonight as I got home late from work.

Picked up the rims today, I hope to drop them in to be fitted on the way to work tomorrow.

Preped the windscreen surroun as well as the bonnet for painting (Tuesday) just need to prep the doors, work out the small electrical problem, fit the new heater hose and all should be well for some driving to and from work next week.

Last one

The rear shock is at full compression so I will be replacing the rears (Just shitty ones I bolted on) with N76's like the fronts.

They are taller than Gregs (But keep that to yourself)

About my waist hight, its a bit hard to judge though, I'll be ramping it again when I have sorted out the rear shocks.

Please explain? How removable are they mate?

(note - first attempt to make mine removable resulted in them being removed by wind resistance at 80km p/h. :? )

Steve why didn't you trim your guards back before painting? Seems to be a "little " bit of tyre contact which will play havic with the flares and the tyres

Here's some more interesting stuff... As it sits currently big steve's car is 3 inches taller in the front, and 4 inches taller in the back than mine is.

Note: 0.5 inches would be explained by the larger tyre diameter - but the rest is because his new springs are very springy :lol:

as soon as Big Steve gets in it .. it will be .5 of an inch lower than yours :cool: .. Means he can go quicker down bush tracks etc at this point though ..
