damage report:
Wackybug- radiator surround dents and lots of dried mud in fins.
cracks starting to appear in seam welds- needs bracing.
Flutterwgn - radius rod plate coming away from chassis. needs welding or captive nuts will start to come out.

thats why they call it the powerlines

even the bashplate is sexy

no i dont think so- if youre talking about when my gbox xmember bolt fell out in the sand dunes and matatak found it- its been getting worse, until today which has now separated it from the chassis. all the captive nuts are good tho- they havent shagged out yet.


A couple videos are in here

good trip guys. Pity i was a tad green to enjoy it more

alex

you want to cut it by 600mm then weld back together ,weld rear diff. dual hand brakes. that what i did to mine. Then repowed with EA82T.

Im thinking of shortening it yes but not just yet.
It's in the process of being re-powered with an EJ22 as we speak (check the other thread in the My Car section).
It's also got a welded diff waiting to be fitted.
Dunno about the dual handbrakes....matt did that and it didnt help alot
