Hj47 4 door project...

[chookenz]

Haha didn't have breaks at all, had to triple push the pedal to get some pressure on the lines

 

[chookenz]

Productive day today, got a front bar to attach to hoping I can get some used brackets

Put on the new brakes. I like shiny new bits, finish the hub tomorrow

That's going to be a happy ride when all done. What do the doors look like in the back are the flat steel or reused Toyota doors?
Nice work.

 

[chookenz]

Thanks mate they're just a made up door using the Toyota door hardware and generic off the shelf Windows and hinges

 

[love2fly]

Wow that's looks like a door from a military Humvee. Pretty stout, I presume that they are a constructed item from the folks that make the cab.
thanks

You gonna clean them rotors Bryce?

 

[chookenz]

The brake pads clean the rotors over time , takes a bit but the discs are smooth no pitting light surface

Self cleaning. Nice!

Travelled 1,200kms, used 3.5 litres of oil, 17 hours of driving in one go, 80-90ks, moving to a new home. Things you do for your old girls here are some pics

[chookenz]

Little terrors settling into the new shed.

Along with the cruiser to rip the gearbox and engine out.

Front view of the engine tear down and front main.

Where I'm at at the moment

 

[chookenz]

It's out in all its glory.

Oops..

 

[chookenz]

Some more extra pics. Rear main, clutch, clutch cover and flywheel
I think that someone has out the flywheel on not straight and has a few marks on it, I'll get that machined also
Rear main didn't even look dirty. Must be the sump so I'll deal that up too. Happy days
