Hey mate, nice progress with the build. Quick off topic question about the rpf1's, did you have to do any body work to get them to fit? Rolling lip etc?

Hey mate, cheers.

No, none at all I might have to when the coilovers go in but we'll see. I am only running standard suspension with lower springs at the moment.

hooooooooottttt

are your guards rolled?

Cheers mate, and not to my knowledge... I didn't roll them but when I first got the car I had Advan Model T5s on the car... so they might have rolled it before landing to Aus but yeah... not 100% sure... there are no tell tale signs of it.

Should take about half an hour each light.

Yeah my mates who do my detailing did it last time.. I think its a process I have to repeat a couple of times... I'm gonna get a paint correction in a couple of months most likely after I come back from the states because I got offered a shoot with the car. so we'll see how i go hahaha.

Coilovers are now in... Pays to have a AMG Mercedes Mechanic as a cousin who will help out his older cous haha.

Just have to tweak the dampening, add a couple sway bars and roll my guards before I go lower. The arse end just wants to hop, also found out why the standard suspension was so rough... the front two standard coilovers were STUFFED...

Finally got my guards rolled after a long stuff around with 3 of the mobile companies that do them....

I got them rolled by Mobile Guard Rolling, good work, nice bloke and he made the time to come to me to do it...

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mobile-Guard-Rolling/294487220606537?ref=ts&fref=ts

Cost me $150 for 2 rears where I was previously quoted $200.

Now I am hoping I can book my GTR in at Accurate Suspension to get it set up by Ken and then it's off to a Panel beater mate of a mate to get a paint correction.

then it's SHOOT TIME... with Mr Ben Birch and Mile High Films.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
