(dellow do&nbsp;kits but im sourcing a cheaper kit off ebay)<br /> - Lots Of Rust Repair!<br /> - Acrylic Blood Orange Paintwork<br /> - 2inch suspension lift<br /> - Rear diskbrake conversion<br /> -&nbsp;79 Series Cruiser Alloys Painted Black&nbsp;unsure on tyres!<br /> - going too have too retrim the roof, new carpet and new door trims!<br /> <br /> <strong>Heres What Im Up Too</strong><br /> <br /> - have sold the old sad 22-r engine and have bought the 1uz-fe picked it up quite cheap from a guy in bendigo! still need various parts such as the ecu, rotors, distributers. etc<br /> <br /> - apparently the g52 can handle the power of the 1uz-fe&nbsp;there are bell housing kits avaible, but ive decided that a gearbox made for 100hp isnt going too cover the 1uz-fe's 250hp!<br /> the diesel gearbox out of the bundera seems too be my best option! as its apparently good for 500hp!<br /> &nbsp;have found out it is quite hard too find second hand r151f gearbox's, and being about $5,500 for a new gb + tc it is defently out of the budget so im still on the look out for a second hand box!<br /> <br /> - have everything i need too paint the car! 4litres of blood orange! 4litres of thinners, 4litres of primer, 4litres of etch primer, sand paper etc! and a spray gun with 2mm nozzle! <br /> went with acrylic because it is easier too paint think ill regret not painting the car in 2pac<br /> <br /> - have the car completly stripped down, the passenger side rear quarter was completed full of rust so i have bought a troopy rear panel and modified it too fit the bundera and welded it in<br /> welded plates of steel around the rear windows and there was two patchs of rust on the front windows<br /> just preparing the body for paint needs a lot of bog and sanding!<br /> <br /> - hopefully going too talk too an engineer sometime this month about what i need too do!<br /> i think ill be right with the engine mounting and gearbox! but i may have too replace the front brakes<br /> ill have dramas with wireing the ecu! have too wire 30 out of 90 wires in the loom! <br /> <br /> <strong>The Budget!</strong><br /> originally i was planning on spending between $5,000 - $7,500 heres what i spent so far<br /> - Lj70 Bundera $2,500 and i drove it back too my house from ballarat<br /> - Rust panel bog etc, $70 for panel about $50 in bog and sandpaper, $30 spool of wire<br /> - Gasless Mig Welder + Helmet $370<br /> - Paint about $1000 <br /> - 1uz-fe $500 sold the old motor for $500<br /> Already at $4200 so ideally my budget will most likely exceed $10K<br /> <br /> Picture Of 1uz-fe Engine<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.weekendhobby.com/offroad/Isuzu/picture/1710255117405.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kca="true" src="http://www.weekendhobby.com/offroad/Isuzu/picture/1710255117405.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Picture Of R151F Gearbox<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://jsx.smugmug.com/Other/For-Sale/i-3zvKc6b/0/L/IMG0952-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kca="true" src="http://jsx.smugmug.com/Other/For-Sale/i-3zvKc6b/0/L/IMG0952-L.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Picture Of The Rims I Want, want them painted in powder coat black<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSfItdUaTldke60_-GTOrDGEE9VxD_vE5eSANmINKeLoVNWG1v4g1CODVzWZw" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kca="true" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSfItdUaTldke60_-GTOrDGEE9VxD_vE5eSANmINKeLoVNWG1v4g1CODVzWZw" /></a></div> ill hopefully get around too posting more images up tonightAndrew Irvinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12656504393555642920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847834874258785092.post-58013039178285659932011-10-02T16:37:00.000-07:002011-10-02T19:11:14.535-07:00have started a blog! too tell everyone my progress Andrew Irvinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12656504393555642920noreply@blogger.com0
