Heaps better access and not too high even with 3inches under her...You can get any powder coated color and glass is a bit more. Can also get plain ally finish if your gonna respray. took about an hour to do the frames then had to wait a day for em to set. Then another hour n half to fit the hinges and panels. pretty basic install after watching Youtube vids for tips.
Picked up a spare Steering blox today with a secondhand UHF for 120 bucks...Hoping to pick up some extractors and a 2.5inch zorst tmoro as well fo another 100...Holding off on the turbo until I can learn a little more and chat to a few pros about their views on boosting the 4.2 safely.
Got under the bonnet today to check the valve clearances as I am not too sure when it was last done...looks like it is ok...heated it up and followed the book...0.035 seems really tight but it was consistant across the rockers...well the ones I got rocking (dint get it all the way to 6)
Has anyone got any tips on winding the crank over from 1 to 6? I had trouble using the belt from power steering pump...it kept slipping...have to pull the fan and shroud out to do any better.
Gave the rocker cover a good clean out...twas a wee bit goowee.
Bloody WA cars look sooooo much cleaner than ours...lol
