Update

well hey all bit of an update......


took it to my mechanic yesterday who does my roadworthys...put it on the hoist to see what it needed for a roady

List of things need doing 4 Roadworthy:

= Tailshaft centre Bearing DONE
= Sway bar link bushes DONE
= Front Brake Pads DONE
= Wiper Blades DONE
= Pre-heat Pipe
= Adjust HandBrake DONE

Well then today......What a day!!!!

Had to adjust timing, got new cap as it was stuffed!
Drove it half way out of the drive way.......AND THEN.......GUESS WHAT???????

BLOODY sprung a huge transmission leak :realangry

So put it back on the hoist started it up...the tinyest hole and i was spraying like a sprinkle turned on flat out with shitloads of pressure

well now thats fixed.....

Got some tyres cheap and just have to put them on rims...$50 across the road at wheels
Tune the carby
Put a Pre-Heat pipe on

AND take it back down for a roadworthy and she will be on the road :dance:

 

[Nackerz]

well its back home now roady in a couple of weeks hopefully


need new plugs and leads so i can tune the carby properly and should be all sweet

 

[Nackerz]

had a fiddle with her, and found that the retard who owned it had stuffed the rotor button as i could turn it round on the shaft the locator for it is stuffed so of to get a new roto button give it a good timing again and should be sweet
