    Planning on doing a cut and polish, maybe replace the fan and have it running better before our road trip to Ballarat on Friday - which I'm hoping we don't actually do :p

    VC SL/E 308/T350. 1989 FJ75 Toyota Troopcarrier
    Got the VC running after fitting an Edelbrock Performer a few weeks ago, carby had no fuel in it and the fuel pump is slowly giving up (gotta love StartYaBastard). Now just need time to finish the LPG conversion.

    Got my Toyota Troopcarrier, with a Series 1 VT HSV 220i stroker, running sweet as after sitting for almost 12 months. Stuck rings, IAC valve cacked itself, fuel pump pumped but had no pressure, knock sensor gave up, so I replaced all that (except the rings) to get 15" of vacuum and a very rough idle. Gave it a good dose (2 cans) of Nulon upper engine cleaner. It now idles with 18" of vacuum at 650 RPM on petrol, will try LPG after I rebuild the converter.

    Just got the Clubsport back from the panel shop, had the roof re-sprayed as the paint wasn't looking the best.
