Car repairs - Part 1

Saturday I’m up early, bit of a sore head but with a mission. I have to get the Side deck treads and Roo Bar off to the powder coaters who close at midday. I don’t rush and if I get it done in time I will be happy. It all goes pretty well, most of the work was removing all the old wiring. I get it ready just in tome and drive down there with 15 minutes to spare.

Next job is the new Coil springs, I’ve been waiting for Rob to buy a set of Coil Spring Clamps but he hasn’t come through so off to Supacheap $48 dollars so a good buy. There is a chance I can lower the diff enough and will not need them but I don’t want to find out once its to late. Anyway didn’t really need them but they made it easier. They go in easy and the car sits really good now(sorry no photo’s Tina took the camera to Adelaide.) Looks like some new shockers are on the list the ones that are in there look very sad. It all goes together really well, so onto the next job, rewire the spotlight wiring. All installed , just need some new spotties. Then the noisy gearbox, got a new clutch and the clutch, thrust bearing sound louder than ever. So out come the seats and floor matting to find they didn’t put the Gear leaver cover back on properly and there is a broken seal so not happy but not surprised. Off to Toyota on Monday to get a new one. I had to take all this stuff out anyway the sound deadening if stuffed thanks to a 250mm flood in Brisbane with a leaking windscreen(which still leaks, might need a new seal). So that’s it for today I’m buggered I worked longer hours than during the week.
