COPIED FROM A NOTHER FORUM.
Well last 2 days the Mav has been other steamy at its ass end seems it was sucking in my radiator water and spiting it out the exhaust
So had chat with couple people that all told me the same thing might be a crack in gasket.
So tonight ive ripped the head off only to see that the gasket at front of motor was all fu*ked and cracked looked to be leaking water into exhaust port one.
couple pics

So was looking around for new set and come to the conclusion it was cheaper to buy Bonnet pins at only 16bucks for a set.
So now my bonnet held shut by bonnet pins and the standard bonnet lock :)

Well after the floods that ran though vic on the 4th feb and drive though bonnet deep water aswell as having to pull people that had no brains and tryed to drive the water. I had found out smurfs floor wasnt very water tight was holes here there everywhere on the floor all rubber bungs didnt seal 100%
So yester day i spend the hole day washing the inside of the floor out with a hose (Gotta love no carpet) i can now see the white flood
and also found all the little holes and rubber bungs that were leaking
So my best mate STICKERFLEX come out and i filled very dam hole up and sealed up the rubber bungs even ones that didnt no doing
and why i was at it i removed unused wiring that went to back of the car and tidied up the rest of the wiring only wiring thatcan be seen now is the engines kill switch
only becuase it like inch thick :)

Well today i thought it was time to color match the bonnet to the rest of the car as the black bonnet was becoming very annoying
Step 1 sand the bonnet back with 320 wet n dry paper
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj111/Evil-333/2011-02-15175226.jpg
Step 2 put 4 coats of black ech primer on
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj111/Evil-333/2011-02-15180407.jpg
Step 3 wait 4hrs for primer to dry and lay down 3 coats of top coat
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj111/Evil-333/2011-02-15191017.jpg
And the final step tomorrow after bonnet had over night and tomorrow to dry bolt it back on and give it cut n polish to move the gay bugs that landed on it

Well not much has changed to Smurf atm just in the middle of getting a RWC.
So been replacing heaps of stuff before it go's into the shop.
Its got new:
Panhard bushes front n rear
New Tie Rode ends on steering arm
New steering damper
New windscreen
New standard seat belts
Fitted factory sun visers
New Brake pads on all 4 corners
And the oil sensor sh!t it self so it was cheaper to buy a aftermarket oil gauge then it was to buy a new factory oil sensor

Well got bored last night and thought i need a reverse light but normal flood lights aren't all the bright n the LED ones are to pricey.
So having a couple of spare HID spotties laying around i thought why not HID a standard flood light from Super Crap auto witch i already had cost me a huge sum of 25 bucks.
Was dark n have poor light in the shed so didn't get any pic's of modding the light to suit the HID globe but wasn't hard just had to file hole out n make a spacer as globe was about 3mm to long.
Made a bracket to mount the ballast there

Evil
11th April 2011, 02:55 PM
Yeah how mine is wired in mine wired off the reverse light wiring into a relay.
And then another wire that's constant power to the relay on a switch on the dash so it can be turned on when setting up camp at night.

yep as long as it is wired through the reverse lamps the cops cant do anything as long as they dont find the independant switch

Got home from work early today so thought i would mount the ARB compressor.
Couldnt work out where to put it i everyone mounts them under the seat but i wanted it up off the ground out of harms way if i ever flood the car.
So mounted it to the cage was using a gasless mig at mates so the welds are poo so i gave up trying to weld it so i just did single tac's all the way along it
Hoping to have a front locker buy end of July.

Well after long thoughts were had i decided to turn my top spotties upside down in my middle hoop of my bar. I originally thought the left light wouldn't fit to to hitting my hi mount but it fits in there by about 3mm.
Main reason for turning my light's up side was now that im running rope i thought id weld on some winch horns on the top of my bar but lights were n the way but not now.

Well did atrip to Walhalla and Macalister Gorge for Easter 2012 from Fri-Tues
Started looking for places to camp at O'tooles and onwards passed Goonans hut and landed at Store point. The whole area was loaded full of people with most struggling to find a good camp site.
We did a few day trips to white star mine, mt selma, mt useful, army tk to deep creek tk's etc.
Monday we decided to shift camp to Macalister Gorge and where fortunate enough to get the well built hut by "WHERETHEFU#KAREWE4X4" and enjoyed it's facilities and surroundings.

Geez mate that's horrible!! Good effort repairing it all cos a lot of people would put it in the too hard basket and write it off.

wow! what a mighty effort. Good to see no one got hurt. At least now you've got your new lift and welded up all those cracks, she'll be back bigger and better than before. And good to see if your going to do a job you do it properly! not content with some panel damage lmao
