Scary.... cut a hole in my bonnet today.
There is more to do but will not have time this year to paint the bonnet so just got it so I could get air to the intercooler.

I wouldn't bother with the mesh. Your not going to gain anything from doing it. Bruce is really looking the goods now with the scoop.
Your rig looks bloody awesome!
Bit late on this and just catching up on the forum.
Eureka ba, glad it's all coming together for you now mate, great news!!!
shes looking sweet mate
It the pic the scoop looks almost the same colour as the bonnet
Fully sick mate. Is that a wrx one as it looks a lot lower than they normally are.

Looking good fella, worth the ballache now?
To be honest I would not do it again... Getting too old for this and think I would buy a near new 4wd or a very well set up older one rather than go through this again.Quote:

I have built many motorbikes (owned about 40) and many of them in my lounge room and enjoy it but 4wd's are a bit harder on the body and the wallet.
The next 2 weekends will be my first trip 4wding and this will be the test... bring it on!!
Looking again at the pics above, the black bar and black rims, looks the goods I reckon. I normally wouldn't go white letters out, but that even looks good.
Hoping I'll be there on the weekend to see it in action.
I am not bothered with white letters in or out but thats how I got them... $500 for nearly 100% tread and with rims, Bargain !!!!!!Quote:

This might be game over???
I dont know what I did in a past life but I pissed someone or something off big time.
Any idea yet what it might be? what were the symptoms?
Ah what's happened?
Well folks the big end seems to have seized.... Yes yes... should have could have????
The head is fine and the pistons seem ok... thats as far as we got.
The worst of it is Mags is in Italy and I dont know how I am going to tell her??
Mate I am bloody spewing for you. If I can do anything to help, give me a shout.
Get me a new engine ?Quote:

Give ROO DOGS SPARES a bell speak to Neil
Might be worth a punt, looks like they have solid feedback scores with very little negative feedback.Quote:

We have it stripped down to pistons with the head sitting on the bench...
I really dont know what to say to Mags... I dont want to ruin her holiday as she is taking time off without pay and she was stressed about money but I told her to go and celebrate her Nans 100th birthday and let our daughter have an awesome time.
I think I am going to become a lying cheating stealing low life c%$t as they seem to be the ones who get by... ha ha ha ha ha ha... no dont worry Parksy has already told me off for such a thought.
One beer left then stagger up to KFC as I cant be stuffed cooking.
Bugger....
Mate, I am gutted for you. Such bad luck.
If it were me, I wouldn't say anything until Mags gets home.

Well Jono I have offer my engine to you for the Christmas break. Would like it back by February but the GQ will not move before then. Engine. Turbo, fuel pump, exhaust, until February. Yours. My gift. Merry Christmas.
Mate i genuinely feel for you dont tell mags yet not till you know what your in for
wait and see what can be done first
Bloody hell mate. You did piss someone off big time.
Fingers crossed it's just the big end but I'll assume it'll be rebuild now.

Looks like a good deal feels genuine.........
Mate my heart goes out to you big time. I would suggest maybe parking It up somewhere and just trying to forget about it for a couple of months. Gather your thoughts and get back on top of a few things and maybe get stuck into it then. I know easier said than done though. It might give you a chance to find a good buy. If you need anything man shout out. Even if you want to borrow the troll for a bit man.

S#!t Jono that is really really farrrrrrrrked :( bloody spewing big time. Should be enjoying the bloody thing by now not striping it down. Grrr. Lets hope things turn up in 2015.
On a good note Mags's nans done bloody well :)
Ok not good news mate. Don't tell your wife until she returns. As for what you do next I don't know. Only you and your wife need make those decisions.
You want me to ring Engines Australia tomorrow and price up rebuild kit?
It's Johnno's call, but why not find out at least? George has probably got a bit of an idea of what's realistic to do or needed.
I know the forum has been down a dark path with getting stuck in to help someone before, but I think this could turn out different. So many people know BA and just from the forum I can tell it would turn out different. I'd be surprised if there weren't people willing to help chip in something? Some bits or some cash? I know it's a tight time of year for most people, but lots of little bits add up. Even if a few can give something it offset things a little?
It's one thing to have me tagging along not in a Nissan, but imagine if this is game over for Nissan's for BA? C'mon he's part of this place?
Not trying to put pressure on anyone and maybe I'm not being realistic, but worth a thought? There's nothing else practical I could do other than chip in a little bit.
Yeah, well said. I'm happy to help with baisic labor and or financial and im sure many others are too. I know things have turned sour before and you don't want to set a prcedent but think this is pretty blody well justified. I've been enjoying my motor trouble free for years, its really s#!t jonos had to go through all of this, should be enjoying it by now. (Jono & family). It would be a big shame to throw in the towel at this stage.
Not only that guys but our friend Johnny needs emotional support too, we can only imagine how much stress this is putting on his entire family.
If anything is gonna get him through this it will be knowing how many friends he has willing to give him a hand up.
There is only so many cuddles this poo bear can give!
I have just pméd BA with three different kit prices, also with hi volume pump, turbo squirters etc etc. I can get these kits in a day or two. Might just need someone to do the picking up of the parts if BA wants to go this way or not. Time to help out is really restricted for me right now. I know people are wary of doing this kind of thing again as Cameron has stated but he's a mate and I will do as much as I can to help out. I want throw in a couple of hunge on parts just to help out.
BA needs this like a hole in the head. He's gone too far with this already. To see him yesterday morning all happy and chirpy, then to see his face as the truck stop wasn't a good thing.
Its time we stepped in and help out.
Who knows whats involved if a bearing has been spun on the crank???
Whats the worst case.
I have just got home from work and my bloody back is killing me and now I am going outside yet again to drain oil and start getting it ready to pull out.. hope to have it split tonight so we can see what its done.
Still have to cook Alexander dinner in between all this.... fwark!!!!!!!!!
Crank will need to be measured and possible linished, repaired or replaced.Quote:
