After I put extractors and a 2.5" system on my petrol 4x4 it made a huge difference.

Just a response to one of parksy's posts. He has obviously read from the start of the page without paying to much attention to the dates.

Lol. Owell.
Still keen on seeing these engines

Gday all, apologies for the absence. Like Jonathan said before, I've been getting right into the machining world and making small engines. I'll make a thread showing what I've made.

Meanwhile the poor patrol has been neglected. Will need to give it some tlc when I've completed my latest project.

I know it is a while since your last post on this build thread but have you thought about using some sort of plastic paint to paint all the grey surfaces inside and getting the seats reupholstered in black to finish it off?

Also, if you don't mind, what adhesive did you use to glue the carpet to your roof and pillars?

Did you glue, or use the same glue,on your door cards?

Why did you screw the roof lining to the roof. You just laid the carpet on the sound matting didn't you? I mean that you didn't make a board or card to stick the lining to first and then screw that to the roof.

Have you made some sort of padding on the sides and the cross members on the roof or is that the lining just straight on?

From the picture it looks like it is bulkier than just going over the sound padding.

Sorry for all these questions.

I do like your build log though and it is quite inspiring.

It is also sort of sad that it finished.

It is like watching your favourite TV show. You know it has to end sometime but it is still sad when it does. 😂

Hi dirtydog, apologies for the late response. Been busy working metal into different shapes and came up with this...

It's a v4 four stroke nitro engine that I made from scratch. Runs well and sounds awesome in person.
I've finished it and I'm back to giving the patrol some much needed love. Currently rebuilding a tb42e as mine is leaking coolant from the rear of the engine and it has 430000km and don't want to fix it again...

I used sikaflex to hold the carpet to the roof. I also used large sections of plywood and propped up against the carpet using timber. The sikaflex allowed me to move the carpet without it sticking and the plywood pressed against it left it nice and smooth.

The carpet on the pillars is glued on using yellow contact adhesive. The carpet is stretchy and easily moldable.

Looks and sounds awesome Andrew

Patrol is temporarily off the road without an engine. Head gasket decided to leak from behind the number 6 cylinder. I didn't want to replace the head gasket again as the bottom end has so many kms so decided to purchase and rebuild another engine. Pulled it apart, cleaned and measured it all up. Crank came out immaculate so a light polish of the journals and still within spec for standard size bearings and rings.

Some more progress...
