I've noticed since getting a shop to rebuild/replace my head + gasket + water pump + fan clutch + hoses, it kept pushing out coolant, I kept filling radiator back up when cold to full, and overflow to full, though it would easily fill up the over flow and extra after a drive getting the engine...

It's from an early 80- 1hdt. I'm thinking of putting in a front mount to minimise max boost in day to day driving. There are more non turbo cruisers than turbo in Australia as they were sold here new and non turbo was significantly cheaper

New headunit and CB/ hand held wired in, also Rallye 4000 with HID kits wired in off relay/ high beams for 1000m vision at night

This weekend got onto the steering - tie rods which had a bit of play in them. Bought a kit and replaced the lot, then tightened up the steering box adjuster. Wheel alignment monday

I'd played around with turbos on my 80 before going the Gturbo route, I've got a few CT26 that might end up heading into this as with the aircon going now the bus is no speed wagon, will see how much time I get off work next few months and if someone wants to sell a 12ht manifold...

We put these battery master switches [narv / cole hearse / britax] on our vehicles that get left at airports for months on end. Encourages the locals to find an easier vehicle to steal also

No indicators in bull bar

Diff Oil Leaking onto Brakes through damaged oil seal in diff and brake lines

Play in swivel hubs

I took it over the pits to get rego'd and it failed on a few minors like bushes,

Then onto the oil / filter air filter, didn't get any indepth pics of it, dirty job.

Then onto the fuel system, it's got inline filters for each tank which come up into th engine bay then head back down the chassis rail to a heater / filter? then back up the main filter. Had to take the filter housing off and put in a vice to get hte filter off, it had been on there a...

Then I went all out and changed the radiator, the top bottom hose, water pump, thermostat, and the coolant and all belts

THe aircon didnt work and the radiator looked like it had been flogged out over the last 20 years so first up I tried to flush the block out a few times with hose water then some flushing additive
