Thread: Stirlsilver's Disco Ute Project

Another milestone today! The car had is first drive!

A photo earlier in the day, Derrick fitting the supercharger onto his Daihatsu, Ana was soldering up a relay delay of circuit for me and I was fitting the replacement rear drive shaft.


On the first attempt to drive the car, smoke started filling the cabin which made me promptly pull over. There was a leak from a fitting on the power steering pump which I quickly turned around to fix up. After that, no more leaks and my repair on the oil system worked!

I got the lpg tanks filed. They took 173l of gas which I was pretty happy with. The guy at the servo couldn't believe how much gas I was buying and gave me a $6 discount and $6 worth of free chocolates!




Starting to get a feel of how high this car ultimately is going to be! ana keeps reminding me to make a step so she can actually get in the passenger side! I think in this photo the front is probably about right, the back is too low.





When the car was out of the workshop, we took advantage of the opportunity to do a clean. Which also included chopping up the engine stand - I had tried to give it away but there was no interest.



And that's it!

Derrick shot a quick video which when I get my hands on I'll post up.

Got to be loving that!!
