On my parts vehicle the engine blows some smoke but it...

    Axle Trouble

    Yeah, bit of a bargain really considering i bought my current 55 for $600 and then spent heaps more on it. On the weekend i was talking to some other fella who wanted $150 for just an axle/diff assembly. Anyway I'm buying it from a Gliding club, who had it given to them by a club member or...

    Axle Trouble

    Well i got myself a parts pig for a measly $150(aussie dolla), supposed to have a good axle, not sure if it's full floating but would be great if it was. Also has a PTO and plenty of other spares, some i can't use, i.e. barn doors and front doors, but that's about it.

    Axle Trouble

    G'day, Well I've got problems with my rear axle that needs to be fixed asap, firstly the axle shafts have a lot of play at the diff end, basically the teeth have somehow worn down pretty badly. My bearings have slowly worn out and busted the oil seals, oil has then leaked out and worn other...

    Electronic Ignition

    I have one from the australian company dick smith electronics, worth about $50AUD from memory, spent the time to build the kit with attention to detail and installed really easy, also make sure you waterproof them well, silicone any holes etc. instantly improved my ignition, it went from running...

    Rear window

    Be careful of that terminal block too (circuit board), where it is positioned it is possible for the connecting lever of the door latch to short out on it, mine has done this at some stage, so when i took it out it crumbled, i replaced it with a new plastic one.

Mine had a homemade job like what i just described when i first bough it but i took it out and it will be replaced with something of better quality oneday i.e...

    Bucket Seat Swap

    Thanks gumby and rhino, I'll have heaps of room under the seats, i thnik i'll actually need to add more height to the frame once made to get the seats near the right height, different heights for each mount anyway, so i'll have plenty of room to keep my heater. It sure looks more comfy rhino...

    Bucket Seat Swap

    Hi guys, I'm looking at putting bucket seats in my piggy, as among other things the bench is a killer with my back problem. I already have the seats, from an '87 mitsubishi magna, quite comfortable and good adjustments and support, donated from my brothers first car which he wrote off. I did...
