I'm in KL, but my parts come from either Segambut or Choy's workshop in Sungai Buloh. I was working in Jakarta for a few months, so bought a lot from there!

Seized my engine by the looks of things. Doh!! No idea what happened. Guess my diesel swap will start this spring.

Installed my newly refinished steering wheel. (still need to do the horn button )

 

[Biscuit]

Repaired a fresh air pull cable with an xacto knife, WD40, and a bench vise. We'll see how well it hold up, but is actuating nicely on the bench top.

It's finally not raining here so I figured I'd drive my cruiser for my DD for the weekend. House sitting for my parents and won't be driving too much anyway, but I thought it would be nice to get out and stretch her legs a little.

Started it and was letting it warm up. Came back inside to get the dog's bed and some other stuff together and went back out to find I had locked the keys in it... with it running. Hum. No spare of course. None of my other land cruiser's are old enough to have the weird one sided key. Got the door off after a few minutes although I dented it a little which kinda sucks.

Then took the long way to my parents house and enjoyed the drive through the country in my cruiser. Something about driving Elsie makes me want to always take the longest slowest way to get where I'm heading.

I was told they are off a unimog by the guy I bought them from. I have never seen another set like them.
