And apologies to anyone who had trouble with the pictures. I didn't realise they were so large. They certainly didn't look that big on tapatalk on the phone. Only just seen them for the first time...

And to see what it was that made that strange meow/squawk noise when the front wheel bumped over it.

I'm not too worried about how stiff the ride is (famous last words?). Can always throw more stuff in the back to soften it up. So much space back there!!! But I already have the expectation that...

I guess the main thing I sort of wanted to know is whether it is possible to do - but then I guess just about anything is with enough skill/time/money. Not not particularly cashed up at the moment. ...

Yeah I thought the Holden flaps an interesting touch. I don't know when any of that was done to it. Unfortunately that information is probably pretty much gone.

I'm sure Michelle can spin...

One of the driver's side body mounts. The flash on the phone camera makes the rust stand out nicely don't you think?

Oh, I also...

Exhaust Manifold thingy. Definitely no turbo in there.

So much room!!!!! I love the space! Rear seat is noticably leaning down to the right. Later took a bit of effort to lift it up...

Now which image am i up to??? Oh yeah, sill beneath drivers door. Not sure, does this look like its been bogged up before? Its...

hopefully works. is the image too large?

sill beneath passenger door. penetrated by rust.

Ah, this is better. Easier to type on the work computer than on the mobi. :)

I guess it comes down to just how much money I'm prepared to pour into it as well. At what point would it be cheaper...

Hey mad, yes I'm sure anything can be fixed. I don't know what I can fix yet. I've never even serviced a vehicle or used a welder. But I'm thinking it's a chance to learns and I've just got to find...

I think it may be in need of service... Last due feb 2005...

I think my biggest problem with this MK is knowing what can and can't be fixed.
Definite rusting through the sills beneath the doors. :(

And you thought that was the subwoofer bouncing the truck on the suspension?

Thanks for that link.

Unfortunately geosciences australia still haven't recovered from being swamped. I'm curious to see their plots.

Mate, as soon as I found out where it was I was wondering what you were doing to cause it. Testing out new ways to blow up toyotas?

We certainly felt it here in Ashwood.

Mate, if they go then they go. I can't commit it them and I can't ask you to hold them. If it's meant to be then it will happen.

Hey tank, sounds interesting. Melton doesn't take long at all to get to.

I'm a bit frustrated at the moment. I'm writing this from Wang but I can't go see the MK! In convoy with relos on the way...

Welcome to you Jock, yeps we need lots of newbies to provide fresh blood for the oldies to maul. Well okay, the oldies are all nice - so far ;). (I wonder how they take to be called oldies. After...

Thanks Granny.
How's life in Melton?

Thanks Ric. The engine number I have is off the rego sticker and it doesn't have any T. Doesnt have as many numbers as your example either. Guess I'll find out. :)

Is there a fuel drain point in...

thanks MQ Mad. For the jump start I'd be jumping off my Exy with it's engine running. It's a diesel as well so should take the load quite easily.
Not sure what the edit motor is.
I'll print all...
