Finally sorted the coil overs as the v6 conversions ones are spewing out oil and his 350lb springs are less than 200lb

So i got some new ones off ryan at united speed shop.

No it didnt but i left the mounting points in the subframe for that reason.

I have a plan to fit a sway bar.


Im very tempted to rip the front end out and change it tho making me cranky i would never buy another one thats for sure.

Had the same problem with the AVO shocks, kept chewing up bushes. I also changed to QA1 shocks and springs and haven't had a problem since. No wonder no-one wants to stock AVO's in Australia!

Same old story here not enough hrs in the day im struggling to find time to re assemble ute.
Cut up a 900 dollar radiator to make it fit properlly.
The inlet and outlet were on weird angles so chopped them off and fitted new ones with a doughnut on the lower to make it look pretty.
I have the tool to swage the necks to make them look factory.
I used a copper vk radiator to set up the car so i bought a pwr direct replacement and it was no where near direct replacement.
Lower pins were different and the necks also its slightlly taller
Should of stuck with copper but i wanted the alloy look.
Also Qa1 coilovers didnt come with spanners so i cut my own out.

Attached is a pic of the v6 conversion coil check out the bushes brand new never driven on completely collapsed.

Not bad for a work ute that was only going in for a tidy up.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Looking fantastic as always Pete, your attention to detail is great to see.

Thanks for the kind words.

Drew up a alternator bracket today did a little bit of engraving on it.

Might have to fatten it up around where the bolt goes but its only a small alternator with a V belt
