    Heater blower resistor

    Tommy,
    in my experience the better option for the heater blower motor resistor is the upgraded one from Atlantic British in USA. PRC8010, and it uses an aluminium heat sink as a base.
    This is what I used on my ‘92 RRC that Shane (Double Chevron) bought & sadly rolled. It was a horrid job as the heater core also had to come out, so dash out. However, once done never had any other annoying problems.
    Shane has posted a picture of it late in his “paint” rebuild on this forum.
    Best of luck.

    cheers,

    Justin

    Oh, that is where it came from.



    I've moved it to the unbent car. The car falling on its side didn't really do any damage. It was some drunk women wiping it out at a round-a-bout that wiped it out. The chassis was bent in several spots at the front, and kinked back under the passenger front seat. It didnt really matter at all .... The main thing that mattered was all of my kids were in the car .... and they were all fine. So the old rangie died for a good cause.

    Purge Valve Hose

    Hi All, Im wondering how hard it is or if any one has made their own Purge Valve hose to replace a broken one on the 3.9? I have been told its a $127 to do this at the Mechanic, but I figured its probably a $5 job at home? Anyone had a crack at this and can share some insight?

    Further update on the fixes:
    Looking at getting all the remaining parts I can have a crack at this week that includes:
    Fan Resistor - dash is out as I couldn't pull it through.
    Shocker bushes - not sure to go poly or an Aftermarket Rubber?
    Door Seal + Mud flaps
    Steering Dampner -replace

    Cheers in advance

    Shock rubbers............... go to a 4wd accessories / installation place and get some Toyota
    cups and rubbers. They literally have buckets of used ones Mine were free.

    Toyota cups are thick and galvanised, but were around $6 each new from a dealer when I did mine.

    You'll need 24 cups and 12 rubbers. The holes the locating flanges sit in in the mounts need to be enlarged marginally.

    I used rubber on the compression side and urethane on the rebound (for stronger positioning).

    Doing this overcomes the bad angle on the lower mounts at the rear, where weak cups and rubbers wear, allowing the shaft of the shock to wear on the hole in the mount. Stock rubber for top rear.

    Mine have been fine with a 2" lift for well over 100,000 now.

    cheers, DL

    Propshaft question and update

    Big weekend on the Classic.

    So rear suspension bushes done
    Fan resistor in and tested - so dash went back in and new speedo.
    Purge valve fixed
    Brake warning light connector found and fitted
    new OME steering dampner fitted
    80% of the underbody wired brushed and washed (3rd time lol)
    Engine bay cleaned -rags and elbow grease
    Bit of spray pain in the floor and battery bay as well.

    So I have tackled the Propshaft - raise the front on stands - one question - do I need to knock it in neutral to allow the prop shaft to spin? P.s. Its no-good either, Unijoint has a heap of play in it.

    Nardo Grey variation

    Howdy,Thought this might be of interest.
    As you have seen online,Nardo Grey is a tough colour to photograph and capture it's true tones.
    That muddy light grey green that the eye picks up in real life, doesn't always get captured by camera or computer screen.
    If you're like me i took note of every nardo audi i saw,and walked around a few on the street and in carparks checking out the colour,likely looking very suss wandering around someones new car haha..
    It flips,depending on the light source.

    A bit of background,Sold my beloved white 1978 2 door (posted a full rebuild timeline on here a while back)and promptly went out and bought a 94 classic that looked like it had been dry stored for 20 years,superb condition apart from peeling clearcoat and faded Ardennes green paint.
    Respray time,shortlisted an original series green colour or the nardo grey both showcased on ECD website.Went with the Nardo.

    Start with the vaguery of the colour itself,then add in the variation of paint companies and those that mix it up.
    Here is the exact same paint code for "audi nardo grey" ,the left side is PPG the right side is a large auto retailer mix.
    These spray outs were only done after i had already painted the car to compare ,but happy with my choice.(which did i choose?)


    panel 1.jpg panel 2.jpg rr 1.jpg rr2.jpg

    As you can see by the Rangie shots (was showing off the refurbed csk rims here,not the car colour)
    both pics taken within a minute.
    Compare the high light full frontal shot to the way the rear looks in some shadow.
    Should have been called Chameleon Grey..Loving the solid non metallic colour,kinda suits the old girl and timeless.
    Cheers Westy

    Looks super sharp - but so different in the shade.

    Well update. I finally got the RWC and we are back on the road registered and cruising; Love being back in the old girl.
    Had to last minute get the front hub seal done and a new centre seatbelt (female), but all sorted. thanks for all the knowledge and responses to questions big and small.

    Next phase begins - paint, suspension upgrade (old front springs are on way out).

    Pics to come
