before Attachment 55935Attachment 55936 Attachment 55938Attachment 55937 what i find
Wooaaaahhh bit of cancer there bummer.
cleaned up and plates have been welded in, being painted in and out. it should of been done fri, it will be home to put it all back together sat 14th
Nice Mav you got there. Good thing you got to that rust, I have quite a bit of rust to cut out of my 89 Patrol soon myself.
been looking about and swing away carrier is prob high on the list followed by 2 or so inch lift, bullbar, snorkel, then when the current tyres die thinking 33 10.5's . but first to get it rego'ed
Pretty much the same with me mate.
However I needed the tyres and suspension first due to the tyres being pretty crap and the suspension and shockies flogged out. I got the suspension done a week ago. So now I am just really need the bullbar/winch, snorkel and rear bar (with wheel carrier).
What does she need to for rego?
shocks are so gone its got uneven wear on tyres, also sits drivers side down due to spring sag, for rego right now prob need to put all the door handles and grill, locks, oh and cant forget to put the windscreen back in ... she's being painted this week, gone with an industrial two pac of white, have all ready fixed the speedo, afore mentioned rust, and a/c is now working, and replaced radio and speakers cos old ones no workies
Hey mate lots of work but once it's done you will be happy happy.
my other car has had msd 6al installed, overhauled engine, new exhaust, radio,speakers,seat, tinted, rims-painted, rear drum to disc conversion, gear linkage bushes, lights, wiper arms, springs, shocks, carby overhaul, remote central locking, oversized battery. it now needs a new 2nd hand gearbox but waiting for it to die completely.
I have a bit of that to do myself bud, was it pricey to get someone to do it for you?
only got the exhaust and tinting done. rest i did myself, (i'm a mechanic) exhaust is a custom job i had done with some guys i know.
have been told by the painter that i should get my mav back tues... if so i might even get it home by sat .. this is what happens when u get your paint at cost, and do half the work yourself. the roof has been painted and it looks good, just really waiting to get some more stuff done.
Garett, Garett ,garett you should know forum rules by now , it pics or it never happened lol
if i get it back sat those pics will be up sun.
lookin at springs and shocks. can get king springs cheap. (happy with this brand running on my other car now). can get monroe magnums cheap as well, just wondering if these will be good enough for mostly touring work with a little off road. with a 2 -3 inch lift do i need to trim the spring perch or anything. they are 51 mm shocks so pretty thick. asking as my mav is in the paint shop stilll... new finish date is mon.
I got new 2" king heavy duty springs recently (got them off ebay with shockies) and really happy with them so far. I haven't taken her off road yet as she still has a lot of work to do.

cost - my time
parts - were freeeeee
being able to hear the radio in the back seats priceless
cleaned the inside ... Attachment 56822Attachment 56823
checked the wheel bearings on the front... might need a new set ...
checking h/brake rear brakes. hand brake was packed full of mud..and drum is right on the max, no wonder it wasn't really working. rear brakes are new so i dont have to replace them. yay something i dont have to fix, o wait one side is possibly over extending.. or just poor adj from the installer
looking good buddy love your thinking and your work,
Is there any way to stop mud getting into the hand brake
by maybe running an air hose to it to pressurize during water,bog holes etc
Similar to what they do with a petrol dizzy and a winch
not really it dosn't even remotely seal. putting in the plugs for the adj might help cos one is missing the other is broken.
new handbrake shoes. and machined drum.Attachment 57203
