Took it out on its first run over the Australia Day long weekend, went up to Warburton for a putt around, went well, a few minor issues to sort out but very happy!!!

Heaps more I want to do, but it's at the stage where I can drive it and start enjoying it Still need to make a rear bar and swingaways, it's pretty thirsty so need to carry some jerry cans. Need to make a roof rack. Then there's the wish list!!! 4 lInk rear, cage, ARB front locker...

Bought a secondhand light bar, but came with no mounts, so had to make this: All mounted up, just need to wire it up

Painted and wired up my worklight this weekend Carpeted my drawers and mounted my fridge on my drop slide, the cavity is to store all my cooking gear and food in two seperate tubs so I can bring them to the fire/shade or somewhere else convenient to cook!!!

It's fixed for now, didn't have anything lying around to put inside to make it telescopic!!

Made a spare wheel spacer and work light holder today, just need to paint it and then I can wire up the light

Been a while between updates for this one, We got married in November and traded the GU in. Money has been tight, but the process is still happening :lol: Fitted a stereo and made up a switch panel: Cut off the brush bars, just need to cap the ends: Fitted up an ARB bar off an FZJ73, slight...

Fitted a radio and a switch panel today, fitted one speaker but ran out of daylight and my neighbours aren't a fan of my angle grinder. Also fitted my winch, low mount Warn XD9000. Just need to get a solenoid so I can wire it up and spool my rope on

Bought some summer tyres today, 315/75 16 procomp muddies. For what I paid for them I couldn't even buy the rims so these will do until winter :)

Passed RWC this morning, went and transferred into my name this morning. Let the fun begin!!!

Drives like a new car, just need to sort out the handbrake and it's good for RWC, get the thing registered in my name and start adding stuff!!! Got 16 inch beadlocks and some 35" tyres to go on, fit my winch and get a cage in it. Then I'm ready for a drive :)

Want some Ben? I'll get some photos once mine are done and you can have a look, if you're still at Piranha, you aren't far from me at all, I'm in Ferntree Gully at the end of Dorset road

Started working on the front suspension yesterday, pulled the panhard out, yep, bush has definitely had it :) Then pulled out the radius arms and attempted to press them out, my little 10 tonner wasn't going to get them out, took them up to my local pedders suspension to use their press...

Removed all the tie rod ends and replaced 3 of them, I had been supplied the wrong one so couldn't finish doing the job. Found the steering arms to have small bends in them so made some measurements and gave the old tie rods to a mate of mine who has an engineering shop so he can make me...

I already have a diesel tourer, this is just a cheap fun toy It's all good, when you buy a 30 year old car you have to expect that things will be wrong with it. All part of the game!!! Pulled all the stickers off today, tightened the bolts holding the steering coupling as there was about...

Had a look this morning, found caster bushes torn, panhard rod bushes u/s and all the tie rods need repacing, I'll replace all of those parts and that should be a good start in sorting out the wobbles :) Anyways heres some pics as it sits at the moment:

Well was an eventful night, picked up around 7:30pm, got 20 minutes down the road and the death wobbles were ridiculous. Decided to park it up and get a tandem to take it home. The joys of being on the outskirts is that the nearest trailer was nearly half an hour away :( Got the trailer and...

Welcome mate

The ARB/Bogard units are good, but are very expensive for what you actually get. In my other car I have an eBay $30 special that works just as well, is fully adjustable up to 5 minutes and has the added benefit of showing me voltage whilst engine is running

Another Aussie, we are multiplying in here LOL Welcome mate

Yea the High country is great!!

Welcome mate, sounds like you and your wife are living the dream!!!
