Its driving-able at the moment albeit with no front clip.

It can't be far off now I reckon.

The Pics don't do it justice.

It really is a work of art

He is aiming for the zook club snow trip in August, and that will be no problem, unless the engineer holds things up, christover

Hear hear got a few of those shots on the weekend.!!

I earned myself a dent

steering damper brackets have been made, fitting after painting shortly, sorry no pix, batteries flat, pension day too far away and frogs alternator ate my wallet :oops:

because of the power steer and other conversions, steering damper cant go in original pozzy.
It will run from the axle housing, to the tie rod. Tie rod isnt welded to, its clamped on bracketry. christover on behalf of Joey

Thanks Christover for the regular updates/photography, is a great thread.

Post by **christover1** » Wed Jun 16, 2004 10:39 pm

Latest updates, not real exciting pix, but its getting closer to go go. christover and joey H

Exhaust will be double 1 3/4" from manifold to CAT and Flex joint, with the rest being 2 3/4"
steering damper mounted from axle to tie bar, because power steer prevents standard mounting.
Me can't wait to see paint complete. christover

latest update, exhaust build has commenced, and the ute conversion back wall has beed fitted, christover and joey

Post by **christover1** » Wed Jun 23, 2004 9:46 pm

more exhaust jobs done

Post by **christover1** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 11:39 pm

the more I look at the flex joint in the exhaust, the more I want one. mine has cracked in the extractors.
On the project all is happening well, just nothing pic worthy. will wait for next completed task for more pix, christover

When I got my exhaust system made it cracked around the muffler flanges every time I went offroad. They put a heavier duty muffler on it but it still cracked. Eventually they put a flex joint in the system and I have never had a problem since.

Those flex joints are good things.

Post by **christover1** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 9:52 pm

the latest pix, starting to look like a real zook again.
steering damper finished and mounted.
rear ute canopy and half wall finished.
widscreen surrounds and roof gone into pozy.
fuel cell plumbed.
exhaust got postponed, due to lack of bits, should be complete by wednesday, christover and Joey H.

looking at ya avatar, you will fit in to the snow trip quite well :eating:

exhast is done, except for cleaning up the welds and fitting gaskets. I like the heat wrapping on the engine pipes, to protect the auto from exhaust heat .

Post by **stumped** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 9:32 am

does having the exhaust going thru 90 degrees twice make any difference to the flow, or is it so minimal that it's irrelevant?

looks damn sweet.. very tidy work

I seriously doubt that he will be found wanting as far as power goes

u have a point there

just wondering on a more theoreticaly level... maybe relevant in something like the stock 1.3s?

Post by **christover1** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 4:53 pm

I think the muffler config was so to achieve maximum ground clearance for the necessary sized muffler?

Post by **christover1** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 11:27 pm

project going well, but I left my camera in a mates car. :oops:

get it back soon. :lol:

fuel system is entirely complete, including fabrication of fuel filler and vent pipes etc.
custom cooling system outlet/inlets are complete.
custom tailshafts have arrived, but need minor lathe work, so toyota uni yokes can clear the zook flange bolts.
most of the painting is done.
next major part is fitting of an oil cooler fer the auto.
this will be after front clip is refitted.
he reckons he will be test driving by the weekend...me hope so.
not long till engineer gets to check it over, coooool. christover and joey h.
