Brian's Series 3 SWB Rebuild

Well i have one but it is in the ute. I am trying to sell my V8 Falcon ute and just go back to it as a daily and yeah. But i am trying to hard to do them both up i think. Just wait and see what goes i think.

I did a bit on the shorty today. I achieved bugger all due to me just getting back into it and yeah all the bolts were shagged. Likely i brought 5 ltrs of inox for the job. May have picks tommorrow of one guard off :b.

I rang around the other day and sort a price on a 200 tdi. Bout $2500 i was told. Went to allot of wreckers around blacksoil while i had time the other day and found nothing. Better luck next time. Just need a win i reckon!

Cheers

I did have pics but dropped ph into water and yeah. One Left guard off and half way thru the other one.

I noticed that i have a two picec pto shaft and it has a carrier welded to the chassis, mate has one but it is bolted? WTF. Well off to work soon and hope i can get more done next weekend, Need another set of hands to be one other side of nuts!


Cheers
