CHIEF's 1986 110 isuzu restoration & turbo/intercooler install

[c.h.i.e.f]

hello everyone

after a long time of arguing and discussing about isuzu power land rovers i have decided to start work on restoring,turbo/intercooling my 1986 110 county:eek: i am welcome to any ideas,suggestions and previous experiences anyone has encountered while doing such a project(photos are always welcome:D)

lets start at the begining shal we

25573



25574



time to clean the brake drums so i pulled them of, checked the piston seals (they were changed not to long ago so they were fine)

i then checked the front brakes

25575


25576

they looked fine but still going to put new pads in :angel:

by this stage i have bead blasted my brake drums ready to give them a spray job

25577


25578


time to refurbish the original console because the standard defender one didnt fit straight in so i thought that fixing up the old one was best

25579

25580

25581

electrics needed some tidy up so i decided to convert some circuits to spade fuse rather than the old tube fuses

25582

25583

25586

25585

i then decided that since the 3bolt steering box was leaking and needed attention i splurged out and bought a new 4bolt steering box to put in :D

25587

25588

after alot of mucking around trying to get the box in i found the best way was to take of the right hand side engine mount nut and lever the engine o one side just a tad!

25589

after getting everything in where it should be i then needed to put the lines back into the box but found that the fittings on the end of the lines did not quiet fit the 4bolt box :o
