HJ61 12HT Build Up - The Grub (2 Viewers)

[Spudman]

Moving right along, I removed the seats and the carpet this afternoon, I'm pleased to say there is no rust in the floor and I am up by $3.45 in change, there wasn't even much dirt throughout the car

So I got the wife's vacuum cleaner out and cleaned 90% of the crap out and then the vacuum died boy did I cop it

 

[Spudman]

So with the carpet out and just the bare metal to look at, I decided to put the front seat back in and also bolt the passenger bucket seat in for the first time, I've still got to weld one bracket in place because I had the 3/4 bench seat in there before, also got to weld the centre console brackets in place, I haven't got a centre console yet, so I'm on the lookout for one.

Also looks like I've scored a set of electric mirrors from early landcruiser spares on Facebook for $105, silver in colour to match my wheels

Are You Putting Down Sound Deadening Before Laying The Carpet?
Great Re-Build.

Hey Bouncy

Yes mate, I purchased 10 sq metres of the 10mm stuff, hopefully should enough to do the floor and the doors

looks great I wish I could find a diesel here in the us , they are far and few between keep it up its lookin great!

 

[Spudman]

Thanks for the support mate, it took 5 years to find this particular diesel

Since i cant afford a diesel, id just settle for some cool non US parts... like those badass fender flares. those are awesome!

And Spudman, excellent work so far! Rust repair is such a pita... i just leave it alone and hope it goes away on its own

 

[Spudman]

Hey thanks for the support Bambi, I just hate pulling bits off and finding more rust spots, hopefully I've got them all now.

Didn't do anything to the car today, I've been trying to source a problem with my 200 petrol running too lean, a real pita.

But I did pickup my intercooler today, it's off a 4.2 turbo diesel GU patrol in pristine condition, I picked it up for $20 and for another $20 he threw in the bonnet scoop, bargain I reckon

Is this the console you are looking for?

[Spudman]

Hey mate
Yep exactly the one, I've actually emailed the seller already and just waiting for a price on shipping

 

[Spudman]

Not a lot happening ATM still stuffing around with 200 series

What I did try and do today was try and wire up keyless entry to my central locking, I'm pretty sure I followed the diagram but it's not working, ah well keep plugging, it'll come

Greetings Spudman,

Cheers Michael

While I was cutting and grinding my new wheels turned up, secondhand but new to me. $250 for 4 a bargain I reckon, they are 16X 7

I think they'll look real nice with the red

Hi Spud, nice wheels. What are they? how do they compare to sunraysia? What tyres are you planning to put on them ?

I am looking for 16" rims as well for more option of tyres.

Cheers,

Hi Spud,
What Sound Deadening material you have got? Is it easy to install? I am thinking to put that in as well. 60s are too noisy.

Cheers,

 

[Spudman]

Hey bouncy, the fuel is vaporising because of the heat up here, been try to replicate it for the last couple of days, back to the 60 tomorrow

 

[Spudman]

Sved

Haven't got it yet, still waiting for a postage quote to see if it's viable, so if I do get it I'll let you know

 

[Spudman]

Hey Nex

I haven't tried out the wheels yet, I have a set of 285 Cooper ST's to go on them they are 16 X 7 inch rims.

Mate with the sound deadening I haven't put it in yet, but type this number 251263917315 in www.eBay.com.au the seller gives a really explanation of how it works

 

[neixian]

I don't understand wheels. No idea what 16x7 or x8 means. Is the 285 the size in 285 75 r16 tyres? I am looking at buying 16" wheels to fit 33" tires too, but not sure 16x8 will fit or not. Cheers,

Hey Nex
Yep the tyres are 285 x 75 x r16 which will fit on. 16 x 7 or 16 x 8 rim, 33 inch tyres are the same as 285
