WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Did you use the B pipework to Chris? Is a good mod, much better than the crusty A ones....see I aint just a pretty face!

Yep all the pipe work is in I probably should of had the clips that hold it to the bulkhead too would of looked better than cable ties

Today, after clearing the drive, I got the blue Sport S home after having it parked at work the last week or 2. Loooooong drive was looooooong (~25 miles)... and embarrasingly slow (1.5hrs, inc a food/cool down break)..

Anyways, guess what I'll be playing with over next couple of days to see if my problems are more extreme than they might be?! :dance:

You will be fine Pete, I have done this to an ABS A before.
As I told Chris you need the crossover pipe and vac tank from a Derv B series, I have a couple of dti's here I am breaking so can so
can sort you out the same parts that I did Chris if you wanted to do it...
I have done a few now, as the OE vac tanks rot out in the wing space,
and are an awkward shape to remount, wheras the B one is much more accomodating, nestling in nicely where the birdness used to be.
All you need extra is a longer rubber vac pipe to run from the pump on your alternator to the t-piece in the cross over pipe...
Be good to see you Pete, havent seen you in ages, pop up when you are next over Maidstone bud...

Pics now in my members rides thread

Started making my rock sliders. Will have to take them off soon to repair one of the sill because I poked it with my finger lol

This is the sill that now needs repairing

You should start making pattern panels. At this rate you can make a killing considering how many you have welded up recently.

Fitted replacement OS driveshaft, new CV support bearing, new wheel bearings and seals, lower ball joint and it is now back on all 4 wheels and working 4WD.

Fitted new steering idler to replace the new one that got bent at its last outing.

Removed radiator and started fabing up a mounting frame to hold the new electric cooling fan

We visited the MOT station on Saturday, passed again with no advisories..............Not surprised really after fitted a stack of new bits.

Stuart

today i removed what was left of the exhaust

not much left, and yes this part is in 2 pieces.

time for a new one i would say...... anyone know where i can get a duck exhaust from :mrgreen:

Hope you drove it .. or couldn't you resist using the Chinook

Had a look at the camber as I have had a slight pull to the left since fitting the Calmini arms, N/S was out so removed a couple of shims and its now about right. Then went to check and adjust the tracking only to discover the NS steering arm was slightly bent. Fitted my spare arm, just need to order some new ones from Milners

Finished the electric fan bracket, painted it and attached the fan. New fan thermostat switch arrived so hoping to fit them soon. TBH I have been driving it for the last week without a fan, as long as I don't get stuck in traffic or climb any really long steep hills its OK, heater is the best its ever been :lol:

Bought it .. well yesterday I did.

1994 (imported 2004) Mk.II Isuzu Bighorn 3.1 TD auto Lotus Edition.

Had for less than 90 mins and already in the mud lol.

Noyce...

Driving home from work today I had some really horrible sounding grinding/squealing noises from the front.

Popped it in the garage, jacked it up and it looks like something was trapped behind the brake disc shield. Turns out it was what was left of the one of the brake anti-rattle spring clip.

Spent over an hour trying to find one in my spares stash but no chance, plenty for the rear but nowt for the front.

Found some new ones on eBay and should be here Thursday

Bought another Project

Reminds me of my first Fronty its just missing the tinted windows :-)
