That simple? I got a lad to put a stainless exhaust on it and he butchered it, it’s not quite 3” but nearly, he just joined it onto the first flexi and then put a box half way down would I be as well take out the box? The big girl as I call her is very fumey when ticking over even for a short...

Hi frank, no it changes up through the gears perfect, even reverse, my problem is the box some times feels like it’s would up and tight like the centre diff is locked, when driving and push the clutch the whole jeep shudders like the pressure is let off,I have gearbox out on bench and when I...

I’m thinking 3rd gear since it’s the damaged one!:weary:

Ya I’m thinking maybe selector too kind of like there is 2 trying to engage at same time or something. I will just have to rip the box but just afraid if I see nothing wrong when I’m in there!! Good thinking on the drill theory as it looks exactly like the swarf you get from drilling aluminium...

Hi Dave thanks for the reply, I have the transfer box off at this point when turning the shaft and not been able to hold the output. I taught the same the centre diff was sticking but it would happen when driving, one minute it would be sound and next it would come on is there a spring or...

Hi guys I know I’m late to the party, just wondering how are the units holding up, I want to put a double din unit in my 80 series with apple car play and all the usual toys and just looking for pointers, the choice on AliExpress is mesmerising but I bought one for my caddy and took it out the...

Hi , I’ve just came across this thread, probably late but I am nearly ready to put my vintage 80 series on the road, priced insurance in campion insurance and Carole nash, both were similar , €230 with campions but that includes €30 membership to some vintage thing that you don’t need to join a...

Thanks for that, going inspecting Calipers properly later, budget is getting a bit tight for the minute!!

Thanks lads, I’m afraid tried to amayama for the dust covers , that’s where I got them for the front and rear but rears wer wrong and are showing out of stock/ discontinued now. Tried mega zip and partsequip too. I think they are all taking out of the same pot! Would repair kits be better or...

Hi guys, nearly finished my wagon and went to fit the rear brake dust covers I ordered from Dubai and got absolutely assaulted by customs just to discover the ones that came are for drum brakes and I have discs, just wondering is it possible to get new ones for rear disc brakes or good second...

Jake I’m hoping to have her back together by the end of the month and will offer up what I have onto it and see what they look like I. The flesh. If you get a chance send me some pictures when you are home . Class truck btw, live the color

I don’t know what you class as cheap tony bit they cost me €650 a few months ago! Some might say I panic bought!!

These ones?

Do you have the wheels advertised somewhere so I could see them by any chance jake?

Ya I’m on my first one and am in the middle of a body off ground up build, chassis has been repaired and is ready for blasting, body has had the sills repaired arches repaired, inner front wings and 2 new wings, all welded no filler so far! I sometimes think Shit this isn’t worth it or what am I...

have ya some pictures of the wheels??

Class lookin rig :rolleyes:. Hopefully some day I might get mine to that spec!

Ah right , epoxy probably work out better as a smoother finish I’m thinking? There is always something to be done!

She is a 91. There is the older 4 spoke wheels on it at the min, think they are 15s but really don’t like them!

Great job thanks, il get the body back on her first and tackle that after!

Hi guys, My 80 series is coming near to being joined together again and soon for road fingers crossed , just have to get a body mount kit and a few bits , just wondering what would be a good chunky size tyre to use, I have sources a set of 15”rims that aren’t what I want but will do until I see...

Hi , just wondering about your swivel epoxy resin paint comment in first post as I think I will have to do that mine soon, can you recommend a paint and do you just strip them down and clean them and paint or is there more to it? Thanks.

Hi I am interested in a set of these if still available thanks

Ah I know I was the same and then a fella told me they are worth it even if only for your own cars and he was right.

My advise is invest. I bought the lift few years ago and it’s the best €1600 I ever spent, I work as a plant fitter and I even bring vans home from work to do work on them. ah I love hardship so they keep Tellin me!!

That’s great thanks,

I have found a set of genuine wings of a 95-98 model with arch extensions, they should be the same shouldn’t they?

My inner wings are completely shot , to be fair to my welder he said if there was anything do work of he would fix them but he has nothing

I know ya , I tried a crowd in Poland to see if they would make a few sets because there would be a demand for them but he wasn’t having any of it!:) No harm in trying sure. But I’m not giving up yet!

Thanks again, ya I got the feeling from taking to him that he wasn’t bothered, will try the numbers given by the guys above. Ya I was doubting the panels from Japan would be great by the time they got here, and it’s €750 to get delivered pity tho.

Thanks a million that is good to know I must go and ring them and see how I get on. Gentleman

Hi there, I know I’ma little far off needing one of these as I am stuck trying to find body panels but I love the thoughts of more power! Is there much into fitting these and how much are they, sorry I can’t for the life of me figure out how to pm.

Or silly question if my panel beater was handy would sill repairs or quarter panel repairs be able to modified to suit me?
