Great job. See you at Broken Hill in June!

Paint the wheels!

(I am really glad I never saw it when it was pink...)

Well thanks to Drifter we reached three major milestones today:

For the first time in 17 years it now holds it water like it should, but for the price, the new radiator should have been gilt in gold.

It now idles and the carby only weeps a little bit when the ignition is turned off

The poor motor has had its first taste of modern (old engine) engine oil in a long long time. The 17 year old stuff in it was rank! Oh and the joys of changing a series 1 oil filter. I will run the little truck around the block for a few weeks and change the oil again.

So I have only a couple of things left on my list for rego:
Door seals. Grrr more money. Calm, its only a lot of money for cheap rubber....
Front diff seal.
Steering Box.
Tail-gate seals.

The tilt is on its way and should be fitted this week. I will post up a shot when its on.

Regards.

The new dizzy did a lot towards the idling smoothly...

Vent seals and a walk from stem to stern with screwdrivers, spanners and sockets - tightening, adjusting, ...

great work toad, that's a big job, you must be very proud of it. I have to say doesn't look pretty in pink.
I hope (name) gives you plenty of trouble free happy days of driving.

Ok - you have put the before pics up in the original post - when are we going to see the after pics .
