    Finally bit the bullet and got the 3F Carb refurbed. Cost a bit, but was too much of a job to try myself, seeing I'm trying to find some issues. So the outcome is great. he found that the secondary diaphram was ripped, this meant my secondary was never even engaging. Also found that the carb...

    Just an update on things. Not a lot going on. Rain is the enemy of 60's. unless you have brand-new well fitting window felts, you are going to get water coming into the door via the glass/rubber/felts. Thats why you have drains on the bottom of the doors. Next water issue is in the...

    OK, quick bit of work on Wipers. Installed two Relays direct to Battery rail (one on HI speed, one on LO speed), as I was only getting 11V via the loom. It has two wires (Hi, Low) as well as a constant 12V (I think) and a 'Off' 12V which triggers the 'park response (goes active when switch is...

    Becuase I'm driving it a lot, finding some small issues. Besides the Carb draining issues. My AC belt was sqeaking. I'm used to this issue now. you need to screw OUT (anti-clock wise) the AC Idle Pulley adjust nut from underneath. Get 14mm socket and every extention you have. Use a 'short'...

    Some current pics with Roof Rack on. Rook Rack is an IRONMAN from a high-roof, but they still sell the low-roof backets. I like the slanted front. My Stedi Quads found a home. (I prefer the Baja Designs on the front as I really like to see the Toyota Badge). I wired through the rear air-vent...

    Did I mention I have a boat. 1975 era Savage Fibreglass, also fully restored after a tree cut it in half. The two make quite a pair, old school. Had to check some wiring and redo some crimps to get all the lights working. Towed it well and the handbrake held on the ramp (I used a chock...

    Another 'ahh Ferk' moment. You can see on the rear axle here, a PIN, that helps align it. The HUB has a hole it goes in. With my parts car etc, I had a hub missing with a broken stud, so I ended up cleanin up two Passenger side hubs, thinking they were the same. THEY ARE NOT. Passenger...

    Front Brakes all cleaned up. My 'colour pallete' is white/black with red accents. So the Calipers were painted (Raptor Caliper paint first, but it went on dull, so went to a Dupoint' red caliper paint. Also the Aisen Hubs are normally 'bronze', but I wanted them red, so I just sprayed some...

    another Drive, another issue. Good thing is, brakes are now great. I also drove up and down some very large hills with no issue. Anyway, on the way home, I noticed the volts on main battery dropped to 12.3V. When it should be at 14V with the alternator on. The car was fine, but I came straight...

    One more BIG LESSON. I did some test drives around home and fully emergency stopped like 20 times with the truck pulling up really well. I then went for a longer drive on a hotter day and I noticed i was loosing power, I could hardly accel up slight hills. When I pulled up at lights, I found...

    Rear brakes I used the same method of gettin the old brakes of the parts car and getting it all ready. Only the dust cover and hand brake crank is original. The terraim taimer kit is good, but watch all of the available video's. I found two methods. A) put everything in place and try to put...

    So some adventure in Brakes. Most of the brake wheel hardware was from browny so no idea of history, and it never did stop well, so during all the various auto sales I picked up parts. Mainly DBA LN106 brake Calipers, Vented Rotors. Terrain Taimer rear rebuild hit and some DBA pistons and...

    Another day another story. I flattened the battery (left car on for 3 days). I have the red-arc system, and had some charging issues that are common with these things, mainly related to jump-starting and mains charging, so I put a 50 amp, click fuse (with a button to force it off). Anyway, I...

    Some notes on those painting. I had some orange peel on some bits, including the drivers door. I recently did a course on polishing and detailing and this covered wetsanding with 1500-2000-3000 then polish/buff. Further up you can see I painted with primer, then thick primer with some...

    Some notes on a small problem. The AC Idle Vac switch was toast. I pulled it and connected to a battery and it was not switching anything. I ordered a new vac switch, but couldn't get exact one and ended up with the one for the 4wd transfer. This has the same two vac tubes as the AC idle. It...

    next major issue: Tacho stops working occasionally? Sometime I'll start the car and tacho stops after an hour, other times tacho wont start at all. However, its only about 10-20% of drives, so its not a regular thing. Again, some people here have the issue. The tacho cable is a black cable...
