The other day i got around to priming the oil pump. I got piece of vacuum hose i think and stuck it on the end of a little oil squirty can and shoved that hose as far down the offset hole next to the oil fliter thread and squirted a few times and then put the filter back and started it.. and it was ...

I haven't update on here for a long time cos i kinda forgot to but now i cant sleep so i thought i would use my time effectively rather than fail at sleeping. Since i last wrote on here I have put the engine in! finally! Hooked it all up and adjusted the clutch and go cables. I started her up for th...

I've got an aftermarket oil pressure sender on there at the moment that i haven't hooked up yet.. I was gonna hook that up tomorrow with the temp guage aswell, but yeah good point that would definitely tell me if its working! I guess in theory you could also take the oil filter or oil pressure sende...

Hey Guys, I have rebuilt an EA82 carby and have just got it running today and it was ticking its nuts off which was expected but it didnt stop and got hot pretty quick.. I have a nasty feeling that the oil pump isnt doing its job and want know how to check if its working or how to prime the oil pump...

I recently took apart and painted my alternator on my L series wagon and put back in connected it up and then when i put the battery on the fusible link got red hot and did its job before i disconnected the power again. After some thought i got it down to a little black insulator that goes on before...

Man it looks like i missed out bigtime!! Serves me right for taking so long to build my L haha. I'll come on the next trip!

I already told Guy but i would love to come on this trip but i got soccer finals + my daily l series is no longer offroad capable.. I'll come if we organise another trip in the summer as my project l series should be running and ready by then.. hopefully

this isnt strange but it was funny at the time. Didnt see this when cruising at about 70 on a beach down south in wa

I had it once down south of wa around albany in my L the wind was going the same direction to the way i was driving on the "sand" and she was overheating.. and driving back it was fine. But plus 1 to having actual coolant and a working/suitable thermostat in.

I finished off the brakes the other day and they look very nice, pity no one will see them behind the sunraysias though hehe.. Also got the steering extension welded. i havent put it in yet but i think my amature engineers skills will prevail and all will be well. Looking forward to putting in the e...

Yeah sorry for the delay guys. Firstly its a favour from my bro so he making them in the spare time and after work and this past week their vinyl cutting machine shat itself and the new one wasnt cutting properly.. hopefully by the end of the week we'll be able to get a batch of a few small and big ...

I got my brake calipers back the other day and slapped them on but i lost all but one of the brake hose retainer clips.. have no idea how. probably put them somewhere and forgot where.. So i have to get some soon.. I've also been working on the steering extension for the 3" lift kit. I ended up cutt...

Hey guys.. Over the last 2 weeks my oil leak turned into a oil gush from my EA82 carby. I used 5 litres of oil in 4 days and everywhere i parked there was a pool of fresh oil.. i felt so bad :S This week end i got around to see where it was all coming. i'll say now that i expected the LH cam seal wa...

Im going to use marine carpet on my L, wasnt too expensive but would rather vinyl for the offroad use.. we'll see how it goes i guess..

I got her back on her wheels last weekend so that i could move her to clean up the mess a few windy nights made aorund my work area.. I have all the struts in and now i just have to put in the sway bar that i just got from Guyph. Sent my front brake calipers to WA brake fabricators to get them overh...

Just got some pics of the painted brake booster and the 3" lift and heavy duty suspension in the rear.

Hey. I managed to get my cylinder head's spark plug hole tapped out at work so thats sorted and i have painted various engine parts and put it all together almost.. should be going back in soon. I have installed all the lift kit blocks but i'm keen to clarify about the steering extension for a manua...

I got 5 different secondhand 195/70R14s on my L wagon..(2yr apprentice wages ;) My advice to anyone wanting more grip for onroad use is to get stiffer springs all round and convert to RWD.. Completely changes the balance of the car around corners. Ps: I needed the front cv shafts for my other suby t...

Hey all.. Guyph and I have been talking about getting some stickers happening.. I have easy access to getting stickers made for a small price for vinyl. I just got some from guyph that look like the first pic. I can get more of the large print "SUBARU" for the front wondscreen which i have on my car...
