  1. I just leave my spine in a wardrobe before doing those panels.
  2. Rust makes them stick but i guess we’ll find out when disassemble them.
  3. None of the bolts go thru water as is but to find moisture there (long bolt holes specially) is not uncommon. If liquids stays inside the engine and don’t find each other she’ll be alright.
  4. I've used slightly modifyed normal allen bolts. Here is oe non-used.
  5. That Muppet car vid shows a correct amount of steering play that i had in my Toyota Land Cruiser 😂
  6. Ah 2x Dellorto 45 dhla w/ turbo kit. Those were the days 😂
  7. Cattle Decapitation: The Prophets of loss
  8. Can tc cover bolts be tightned or are tight enough?
  9. Well if one is able to lure it out without it noticing what’s going on then one might be able to convince it to play along. reuser
  10. Just a plug against dirt, 6 mm nuts etc. #23111200477
  11. Fronts or rears? I'll guess rears and I go on and suspect that shoes/springs are not correctly assembled (not working/releasing shoes).
  12. V8 and v10 swaps have been done. Web is your friend.
  13. Yea shopping. Or was there something special inside? No? Then off to the neibourghs pool & ”new” in the hole.
  14. And if/when some b/fluid gets past those rags rinse with lots of water.
  15. How about I put it this way: tank sender unit needs ground from chassis and then it ”sends” ground to gauge. 10-pin provides +12 volts to gauge -> gauge works. How much ground tank sender ”sends” relates amout of fuel in tank.
  16. Well it's kinda rose joint ball, spring loaded. And they wear (i.d. gets bigger) so measure/check it's snug enough.
  17. Documented progress in form of new blog. Forecast shows frost for next week so M2 needs to wait a bit longer. I start to feel the itch thou.

    Getting closer

    First I measured center line for both chassis. And rear axle line for both. So rear wheel would be in correct position in regards to 02 shell. This was very time consuming. Lowering and alingning 02 on top of E85 floor to see where to cut next. Then winch 02 up to make room to work. Back down again, aling. Repeat. When I got to about 5 cm from touch down I found out that my support cage was getting in way. I had to make cage to outside of 02 chassis and remove tubing from the cockpit. This was also important bcz I wanted to be able to weld roll cage roof tubes all around before I mate the two chassis. I wish I had done this from the start. Oh well it is what it is. And we have a touch down! 02 chassis on correct level on top of E85 floor. Phew! Very early on I knew that rocker panels would be an issue. They don't match 02 at any level. This needs to be sorted next.

    And cut

    First I confirmed rear axle line as this going to match 02 chassis rear axle line. Marked position to chassis and table. This was actually done before last supports was added. Determided center line for both chassis and rear axle line for 02 chassis. This was very time consuming and frustrating task but I needed to get this right. Then it was plasma cutter time. What a fancy tool! Cutting goes so painlessly and gets to places that angle grinder doesn’t. Also it’s very easy to cut wrong. Steady hands I say. Also wincing up and down was slow. No way around this. Lower enough to see where to cut next. Then up to have room to work then down bit more. Repeat. Larger bits was easy but closer I got more slowly it went. I didn’t want to cut too much so that I would need to weld pieces back.
