The Pink Lady

I havent yet checked to see if its LSD if it isnt I wil put in a disc brake rear. The other mods you mentioned is pretty much the list I have.

a few here have used that Dynamat and reports are all good,
One day when I have time to strip it out for a few days, could do
with some new carpet or those Sandgrabba inserts

I fitted a 50mm lift and put the 33s on. I will fit some garden edge flares in the next few days. The lift has made the tyres look smaller but its a big upgrade on the cheese cutters, we have already done some comparisons on a few local tracks.

The first pic is of when we got the Pink lady the second was taken this afternoon.

Just a few pics I took after driving to the top of the world.

Nice view you have from the top of the world.

The temp has been fluctuating a bit under load so i thought i better have a look at the radiator.

I pulled it out this morning and cleaned and pressure tested it. Boy did it need a clean. When I saw what was between the radiator and air con condenser I was surprised it cooled at all.

After a clean, flush and new coolant I took her up a couple of tracks that previously saw the temp rise. The temp still did climb but not as much and recovered much faster. Hopefully the radiator last's for many more k's.

Last night I replaced the drum brake single spinner diff with a disc brake LSD (Thanks Johno).

This afternoon I replaced the brake master cylinder. The brakes feel much better. The diff is tight and quiet!


The change over was pretty straight forward, new master cylinder and brake lines were the only other parts required.

I'm keen to give her a run this weekend!

Nice work! Coming along well.

It's been a couple of months since I updated this thread, I can glady report that things are seemingly moving in the right direction.

I picked up a Safari snorkel for $15 and removed the pre cleaner.

I have a winch sitting in the lounge waiting to be fitted.

In preparation for the winch i bought a Redarc SBDI12D (thanks evil twin). I have put the second battery in situ, just waiting on some circuit breakers and fuse box to arrive to finish the dual battery setup.

I also needed a new bar to accommodate the winch. I managed to find a nice looking bar not too far from home for $150. I have removed the old bar and hope to have the new one and winch in it fitted tomorrow.

Amongst all this we are still managing to get out for a drive. The recent rain has made a few of the local tracks a bit more interesting.

This arvo I test fitted the bar with a mate, it wasn't quite straight, so my mate who is a welder is going to fix it up. I still think it looks ok.

I will source some lights to fill the holes a bit further down the track.

I have had a UHF sitting in the draw for a while waiting on things to come together so I could get the aerial and fit it. The aerial's arrived today, thanks again evil twin!

I purchased the aerials from. http://www.prestigecom.net.au/RFI-Ex...ntenna-Package

Sorry for the poor quality phone pics. (damn dt's....)

I also purchased another pair of driving lights, I found the small light force lacking a bit, so I picked up a set of 240's 2nd hand in pretty good condition.

I have also picked up a roof rack which I will look at fitting in the near future. Things are coming together I seem to be accumulating all the things I wanted for the car, I just need to find time to fit them all.
