What engine do you have ? and what year ?

Intresting enough, this is the engine i have on my 60 but with the old 5 manual gearbox (the one that came with the 2F). This was done by the previous owner. I am in touch with the mechanic who did the conversion, not sure if I can help but let me know if you have questions i can ask and revert...

Does lifting change this ? I looked at my car pics and didnt find this part. The pic you posted looks different than mine i dont see the front diff, is that in the rear ?

Is it that one ? If yes i did not change it

Oh I tooks pics of what i changed, here you go.

Sorry can you show me a picture ? English is my second language so I am not sure what this part is in Arabic lol

I am indeed !!!! was able to find the part number ! truly appreciative it thank you !

MUCH MUCH better ride, what surprised me in this car that every little change you feel immediately. The car was like jelly in bumps before, now its far more civil and predictable. I was so pleased with the effect. So to explain better, its less jelly like, predictable and far better control...

Thanks that's great ! I am unable to find the back ac plastic AC vent (picture attached the big gaping hole in the vent lol) i think the truth is its been modified or added so its not found based on the model. I think this is a UAE frame (as those had AC in the back vents due to very hot...

I had a look on the internet to try and decode these numbers, basically I'm trying to get the right information for part repair manual / parts etc. The car is as follows: MODEL: HZJ80L-GCMNSV Engine: 1 HZ Frame: HZJ80-0009652 The engine has been switched to petrol from diesel so so i guess its...

4 hrs of engine cleaning later XD I covered anything electric (i was worried about the older cables losing their seal) hence the areas with dust.

Yah just the bear minimum for now to pass inspection, I am going to change the 4 doors (metal frame) and the right and left side fenders as they have too much rust. Paint, install then a quick overall frame clean and paint to avoid any issues with inspection.

Just a quick overview.

So lots of updates :) I will summarize below: Overhauled the under carriage as follows: 4 back bushings changed, they came out in bad condition 2 back front bushing changed (the castor corrections ones from the lift are ok!) Front rubber scale changed (I'm trying to translate sorry ! not...

I think I have your affliction, my eyes twitch and I get this extreme imaginary itch to clean the car. Unfortunately I have quite a lot of oil leaks (just bought the car) so I need to start the cleaning progress .... Glad I'm not the only one :P

I think that's the issue as there is no rubber buffer. Can you indicate where should it be? I did initially WD-40 all the hinges, i think its best i take a video of the door opening and closing.

Chris fix to the rescue ! very well explained.

Now the ugly part, there is really bad body rust in the car frame. This means i need to change both left and right front sides, 4 doors and front end carrying the lights beams (the 3 part cross section bars) I had expected some rust but this is a serious issue. The car was not sealed properly...

Also bought gearbox oil, gearbox filter but thats for future repair as i intend to clean and change gearbox oil for a proper base line. Fitted a small camera that was the perfect size for the trunk key hole, its unfortunately a bit higher than i wanted but at least i can see behind me !

Had a long day yesterday took the car for my first bit of repairs. 1) The middle exhaust box was shot dead, shot again, burned, shot and stabbed repeatedly. Had to change it and unfortunately due to Egypt's current crises I couldn't find original Toyota ones so copy for now. 2) Bolts where...

Yah its all been inspected and renewed for 10 years now, this is what was done previously. I am going next sunday to change car license and ensure everything is ok before diving in. The lift is old man Emu, coil raisers, shock absorbers and buffers (there is a bar at front not sure what that...

Do you mean the heat cover under the bonnet ? Its so difficult to find those in Egypt for this model. Which model for Merc? and sure take your time as we get 45+ degrees in Egypt keeping things cool is critical lol :D

Quick question, the right back door has the spare tire carrying system. However when closed there is a lot of "play" meaning it hits back and forth causing a lot of noise. I imagine there must have been some sort of bearing that stops this movement and also makes open and closing the door...

Much appreciate :D So lots of updates, first here are the car chassis numbers and engine number. The chassis is right, however this car was original a diesel and got converted. It has the 4.5 EFI petrol engine with a 4 speed Auto transmission with no abs or airbags fitted. The frame was...
