    Removed my dump pipe last week after buying gauges so I could weld in a bung for my EGT, broke every stud on the turbo
    Got all of them out but one, so had to remove the whole lot to get it out, got there in the end though



    Then had to wait till today for eBay to deliver my gauge pods so I could fit the gauges



    Fitted a battery in the back, excuse the ratchet strap holding it in and the loose wiring was just to work out if what I was trying to achieve would actually work, I still need to run cabling from the battery under the bonnet and fit my isolater

    GU diff is in, 4.6s and lockers are in, heavy duty steering arms in, 315/75 16 Procomp muddies on, took it for a drive and then death wobbles

    New panhard bushes and steering damper fixed it, just about ready for a shakedown run over the Vic long weekend

    Replaced the whole GU diff assembly in the front, just replaced the rear centre, makes the car heaps better to drive, 4.6 and 35s are spot on to stock and as a bonus speedos now accurate!!

    That tyre looks massive. Is it on a wheel carrier or off the rear door? I had trouble with door hinges on mine from brand spanking new, couldn't keep the door closed after corrugations, and they were factory baby 31x10R15!

    Yea, it’s huge, off the rear door for now, but looking at a more creative way to mount it
