well the diff is now fitted back upto the car

still got the halfshafts to go on
and galf the driveshaft as well
i cant find the back brake pads i took off of the car which is a bit worrying as they were in perfect condition lol, might need to go buy more now

front brakes have seized, bollocks
pitworks pads on there just now
have blitz ones to go on


other problem i have encountered is a problem with the alternator, it is only charing between 9-11 volts which is not enough, however when i got it tested it tested as perfect weird, also managed to set the alternator cable on fire twice, hmm this car has me paranoid now

[The Big Yin]

ok then

caliper rebuild kit ordered for the rear brakes


alternator now charging properly, was one fucking cable going from the fusebox to the alternator that had a split in it, fukcing raging, knew it would be somehting simple, just spending the time finding it

alloys have been painted same colour as the car, done at home = mega cheapness, they look quite good as well

dash is all back in, just ned to put the seats and harnesses in

battery has been relocated to the boot, from back of the passenger seat

gearbox mount is done

engine mounts are being done soon, although they look like a right pain in the arse to do any advice?

still to fit blitz brake pads to the front

sorry no pics but battery in camera is dead and my mobile had an accident with the washing machine

[The Big Yin]

well now

the alternator problem has been sorted, was one shitty cable going to the fusebox grrrr

TRD engine mounts are fitted
starter motor is now working properly

all the seats are in as are the 2 harnesses

electric fan switch and fog light switch now have proper mounts

battery has been relocated to the boot

rear calipers are being rebuilt over next couple of days

steering wheel is in

alloys are now midnught purple








also had a bit of a problem with the engine

the oil cooler burst its pipe and pissed oil everywhere when i was not there

what happened was i had the car running for about 10 minutes, went out switched the car off and went to the cinema in my other car, came back from the cinema and seen something wet under the car in the headlights and knew what it was straight away it was darkwhen i left for the cinema so never see the oil

on investigating the followig day the cooler pipe was burst, i have been lucky it must have burst just before i turned the engine off as the engine is 100% fine thats the updates for now
