    12HT engine rebuild

    Does anyone happen to know where to order the above mentioned MLS head gasket? I am in the process of wrapping up a full rebuild (rebuild kit from Engine Australia with 0.5 OS pistons, rebuilt injectors, IP, and turbo) and my piston protrusion is .84mm and the Engine Australia max is .64mm. I am...

    Two of the three are from the Alvord. The middle photo is a different area.

    We are really impressed with the results of the first coat. Feels nice to have a solid looking cargo floor. Despite looking like a bed liner the stuff wouldn't hold up to the abuse of heavy loads scraping on it. I think it would hold up well to standard use under a carpet or soft floor mat. I...

    Yesterday we got started on the application of the Lizard Skin sound control. It took awhile to get everything prepped: removing the remaining greasy/oily areas, tapping, and a light sanding of smooth areas. When doing the sound control and ceramic spray, the sound control needs to be sprayed on...

    The next day I finished the drivers footwell. It was a little tricky to get everything shapped and lined up properly and welding in such a tight space was a challenge. This is the last rust repair we will do for a few weeks. I need to remove the windows before fixing anything else.

    Before I tackled the welding myself, I wanted to get a quote from a place in town. Mostly to make sure doing the repair myself was the best use of time/money. The shop quote me $4,500, not including the rain gutter/door frame rust or the shaping of the rear body panel. I'm sure by the time all...

    Still need to get the walls cleaned up and figure out what to do with the large vents on the back right panel. We are planning to install an Espar D2 diesel heater, but I don't think the current vent setup is going to be the best setup. One step at a time.

    Making a bit of headway in prepping for spraying on the Lizard Skin. Most of the floor has been cleaned up and brushed with a brass wheel. Hoping to start patching the holes early next week. Gotta learn to weld first haha

    After this experience, I don't know that I would ever put an adhesive layer in a vehicle again. It sounds like when the previous owner put the Noico down there wasn't much rust, now there is a fair bit of pitting and a handful of holes. The Lizard Skin will prevent any accumulation of moisture...

    Noico is the product we were pulling up. Didn't mind it so much when it was down, but pulling it up was quite terrible. I don't know that I would ever use an adhesive sound mat again. As far as quitting our jobs, we air aiming to have $500K invested. That will be split roughly 50/50 between...

    We are so keen on the Trakka, absolutely love the geometry of it. Not looking forward to the day it needs to be removed to address the rust though. Congrats on the purchase of your Troopy! Still remember picking ours up like it was yesterday.

    Hey Rodney, thanks for the offer. Tons of good info in your build thread, so I'll definitely be referencing that.

    Well, I have owned this 1985 HJ75 for just about a year and have started the process of building it into a functional, durable, and liveable vehicle. Before dropping the cash on the build-out, I wanted a thorough understanding of the vehicle dynamics and my interaction with it, thus, the...
