Anyway the bush pig can maintain 100 kmh quite ok. No black or blue smoke. Just a bit of steering shimmy but its just wheel balance. So wheels to get balanced tomorfow as well.
Tried to undo the drivers door hinge bolts today. No probs. Came undone easy as with the impact driver. I was told "nah mate you'll have to drill em out and buy new hinges and bolt kits from us."
They came out of the s3 easy as as well when i took those doors off. Some ppl just dont wanna even try. Im gonna put the s3 hinges on for the moment till i can get the right ones that take the mirrors. Gonna buy new mirrors and heads from ebay. Then get flat mirror glass cut and glued on. Cant handle convex mirrors and froper flat glass heads are over a hundred bucks each
So tomorrow will be putting the shocks on.
I changed the oil and filter today. I also took the original army fitted fuel filter off and fitted a new one. Some ppl are so slack. The PO hasnt changed the fuel filter since hes had it. Over 3 years. So i thought id check the fuel sedimentor thingy at the bottom of the fuel tank. As soon as i touched the plastic drain plug it started ****ing out diesel. So i had to clamp the feed hose off and i removed the whole thing. The sedimentor was chock full of crap. It was almost 2 inches deep. Cleaned it all up. Cleaned up the tread for the plug and fitted a bolt and washer to it. I had no new "o" rings so i reused the old ones with some rubber grease to stop them getting pinched. Then bled the new fuel filter. Started up straight away. Gee that motor runs sweet as.
Well thats all on the perentie today. Geez i love driving that thing
Cheers Rod
