Thread: 89 Rangie Project & pics

called eastern power steering today, 495 for a swap over to a reco steering box... hows that price sound?

AMV in ringwood have the seals I need including engine mount rubbers, picking those up Saturday morning
Plan is to have the engine out this weekend & new one in. going to be a mission.

I printed about 140 pages off the manual of how to remove & install an engine so I'll be reading up big time.

Let the real fun start

woot - go the rain... not

i know whay you mean mate. what is it about the design of a rangie that opens the heavens in direct proportion to how many bits you have got undone ?

lol pretty much.

update:
Next on the list is to remove centre console & find a section of floor pan to remove, thus giving me access to the top of the bell housing. (And a look at the rust better)

This Saturday a group of mates will be around with a hyrdo crane to help remove the engine plan is to remove this one, remove efi & bolt on to new engine, then fit the new engine to the car. From that point I can do the rest myself but that is the aim for the coming weekend.

Should be a ball!

Boyle's law of sheads applies for mine. Sht expands and fills space So I often end up on cold wet ground as well So then light up the 44 gal drum It sure is nice to have a bit of space with concrete floor. Recomended Cheers Tony

I too dream of a good work area.. the area I have is pretty limited

I would make it hard with limited space. I had heaps of space here for years but also have years of unfinished projects
