Today i started work on the decals



We couldn't get the stripes nice, airbubbles all over the place.
So we wen to the other things:




It was the first time i saw the old style Toyota logo on the car, and i'm happy i chose for it, it looks way better then the modern logo which was on first!

[robokill]

btw doc how are the arches comming along? any news?

Funny that you are setting it back with the decals how you bought it

[The Doctor]

i liked the way how it looked back then.
So much that i wanted back in that same style

I need to buy some arches, but i'm waiting till the yen drops a little bit more.

slowly i'm getting somewhere.

Today i did a job i was fearing a few months.
The construction of the front leafmount is really odd.
A big bolt welded to a plate goes through the leaf, bolted on the other side.
The plate also needs to be bolted to the car with 2 small bolts.

Guess what happens after 33 years, when you remove the rear axle?




yes, they all snapped, i couldn't prevent it, because you can't reach the bolts from the back when the leaf is fitted...

Thanks mr. Toyota..

But after a bit of drilling (well.. a LOT of drilling ) and a play with the tap i now have 2 working front leafspringmounts!



and my new flares came in from Japan, they look and fit way better then the old ones i had.




Now it's time to find some new bolts, new gaskets, and change the diffs, so i have a 4.3 diff with LSD centre instead of a 3.9 ratio LSD .

it feels good to have the mojo back!

[BOOMEX]

it's a realy great job that you do
Nice news flares btw.

thomas... If you need some help on the diff.... just call Roel and make an appointment..

[The Doctor]

another day, more jobs



Finally the fun part has begun!

Which seller did you get your flares from? So hard to know which ones to get, that are an exact copy.
