    Didnyoy find those pics in My thread mate. Tried hard to embed them here for you mate, sorry.
    Cars already dried out, wasn’t in there for long enough for it to be a real issue. If I had a slowmount it would have got really wet inside, my winch is fast now, the bow motor is awesome!


    Found the pics! Will be another weekends job!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Went to Toolangi twice over the last couple of weeks, I was actually thinking about selling it But after driving it I fell in love with it again!!








    So removed the wiper arms and got them painted, no more glare driving in the sun now!,
    Added a GPS tracker from Steve’s car alarms, bought a reverse camera and got rid of the 28m of 8mm rope and bought some 11mmx45m Whittams rope from Patrolapart

    Next week the reverse camera gets fitted, some more wiring done, I’m redoing all my intercooler piping getting rid of the silicone bends, front and rear scrub rails and add my 24v alternator

    Awesome Dave mate, you seriously don’t muck around good Bloke!
    Way too much 11mm IMHO spooled on there though mate, 1T heavier GU’s get by well with 35m around slimline +76 drums with double the side angle hauling allowances.
    GQ wagon mates seem to prefer 10mm awesome ‘Whittams’ for their GVHM :-)
    Worth keeping that $350 rope clean, bagged and tagged and we’ll find a perfect win win swapskis soon enough mate

    Swapped out my chunky fairlead for a slimmer stainless one that I bought off bookface


    Waiting for Christmas to be over so I can start funnelling some money towards a clutch for this thing, slips when ever I get above 20psi now

    Fitted new rear springs to take the weight properly, now it sits properly not sagged in the back, had the old bus weighed to select the right springs. It’s a heavy bus, weighed 2990kgs as it sits.





    Two weeks ago went to Cobaw for a night drive, started at Alcorns then did Madman’s, I need bigger tyres as the 35s just didn’t cut it. Dragged myself 15m up madman’s on the winch.




    Then last night went for a night drive in Labertouche, this car keeps surprising me. Need new shocks now as I broke one of the rears
