Car was running ok but noticed that rad was empty....... So, we started filling it......... & filling it.......... & kept going. Did wonder where the water was going, thought big block & big engine. That's till we started her up.......... All the water had been going straight into the sump...
Next event, 11th of April, not giving us much time.
3 optionns.........
1- Replace th HG
2- Put in the chevy V8
3- Find 80 series 4.2 engine + box & put them in heehee
The chevy V8 is ready so maybe thats the way forward..........
Had first round of the winch challenge, last Sunday...... Got everything ready, car loaded on trailer...... only to realise that the head gasket was blown, big time! Really did go boof........... Oil, water & gunk everywhere..........
Have real issue speaking to dealers regarding parts......... Anyone know of a friendly dealer that's helpful when it comes to fj40 parts? My local dealers can't see cars built before 1990! lol
Need a Head Gasket kit asap............
We were so involved in the build at the time that no one took pics of the chasis mods............ Body mounted down on the standard fj40 outriggers + a few extra ones made up to suit. She really needs dismantling down to chasis & built up again. It's at this stage just to get it together & working.
