I think Andy wants to change his set up partly from watching how much flex I get now.

Nothing troubles me specially with the front locker... I know in the past there were tracks we did that would have given me a real hard time and with the locker and the amount of suspension travel I get I need not drive like I stole it which in turn hopefully means less stuff breaking.

I have still not gone out with the 35's on where clearance might be an issue to see how all that goes.... soon I think!!!

Hey BA , sorry I went back a couple of pages and my memory is sh1t, what springs and shocks did you end p fitting? I know you fitted Drop Boxes for the win but what is the specs on the rest?

Also........ Without pic flex didn't happen :p

Surprisingly I did not see Johnny flexed up much at all. It's like with his old setup he needed to flex his muscles, but now everybody knows he has them so he need not show off.

OME shocks with Dobinsons springs 4inch.

Tough dog Panhards, superior drag link, patrol docta lower control arms, extended sway bar connects,drop boxes... and other shit!!!

I just realised that those 2 photos are with 3 inch but with my new 4 inch shocks??

See if I can find a pic with all 4 inch...heh funny!!!!

Isn't it 3" springs with 25mm spacers or did we take them out ?? Can't remember......

Well I am finally going to fit the engine over a period of days... it will start this weekend I think and will take as long as it needs to.

I am not going to rush to get it back together I am going to take my time.

I also got all the gear I need to convert the car back to petrol only.

I put most of the engine back together yesterday and George will come around on Friday to set the valve clearances.

I would start now but have my mums wake and ashes to deal with plus my Uncle is arriving tonight and look forward to drinky and a good meal tonight.

I cant wait to start but am a bit nervous... hope it all goes smoothly for the sake of my marriage ?? he he he!!!

If you wanna hand mate, you got my number.

Thanks mate I will probably need it as this no way a one man job!!

This is the list I can think of so far.

Engine swap (swap some stuff from old to new)
Gearbox swap and more than likely clutch.
Remove gas system
Install new petrol tank and plumb up plus make up relay and switches.

I would also like to do front and rear diff oil.

I need to send my radiator off and get the guts cleaned out as I think that chemiweld has not done it any good.

A bit to do but will not rush it.....
