WA: Back doors 'Boring'

[trickysimon]

Should be proud of yourself! I wouldn't have the balls to do that!

[work]

I got tired just reading the summary! You didn't mention your antenna seal replacement though ... left the hardest to do later I guess then.

I did end up stretching mine over the top, then took it off because I wasn't happy, and repeated a few times. I'm still not convinced though that the rubber is seated properly, so will have a go at doing it properly sometime soon (i.e. pulling back the ceiling liner etc).

I only did that yesterday but yeah forgot. Nothing too hard just pull the trim pieces off and pull the headliner. Unscrew the nut and replace the two seals.

My big seal was a foam type one so I couldn't stretch it over. It's also just there for looks as the thread has a o ring on it which is what seals it from water.

Awesome work, must have a pretty good sense of achievement after that effort!

Thanks! I found a youtube video that goes through it too, so I have no excuses now.

man you work fast!!
good effort, im scared of the same thing when the time comes to do my chutch. I'll just make sure i replace the rear main seal and all the seals on the gearbox while its off

haha. That was spread along like 5 days

As long as its not your main car or you can get around some other way it shouldn't be a problem. Rear main seal was easy just tap it out and tap the new one in. The only other seal is between the transfer case which shouldn't be too hard.

Also forgot to add to that was the rear diff oil and rear haldex. Haldex isn't too bad now but that tool is a must. Putting the oil back in gets interesting but still nothing too bad.

I forgot to add aswell that the main pro of the entire thing was that now everything seems really easy in comparison. Makes the basic hard stuff seem simple

I have had them filled just one of them had almost no pressure in them. I know it doesn't do much but its only $8 a tyre doesnt hurt

and doesn't help either, a waste of $32.
unless your running your tyres at temps well below freezing then there is no reason to use nitrogen, dry compressed air will do the same job (and a well maintained compressor with a moisture trap will get damn close)
I put 78% nitrogen in my tyres every time I have to fill them

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

The amount i've spent on my car at the moment that's chump change. Most of the money i've spent on its a waste too to most people.

Awesome work with the big 2 week job thingo (you need a label for it - The Two Week Fiasco?)

I know what you mean about needing the car back, all the big jobs on my car keep being put off because I just stress too much if I need the car in a few days. The most rewarding work I have done on my car was a relatively small job over a few days but I had 2 weeks off, so I could do a few hours a day and then leave it if I was getting frustrated. Made it so much better. If we had room, I'd buy a second car just to have for when I do these jobs.

I'm curious about how far from the ground your front guards are (just to compare with mine) and whether you got or are planning to get a sump guard?

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

Been a while since i updated this thread all thought that could be directly related to been a while since I've had decent money

So apart from fixing up the rev limiter/cruise control fiasco by breaking my head unit and changing it (And help from bundy bora) not a lot has changed until today

From this


To this

To this So supportive and clean



Also Changed pedals from this

To this


Fixed the high tide mark


And fixed the V71 motor which was a massive pain in the ass also didn't need to be replaced as i think i found the cause of its issues


Also changed my sun-glass holder to a standard handle so if someone wants a sun glass holder pm us

Future plans are still looking close. Future plans being Turbo and maybe a built engine to go with it

Edit also changed the trim around

Nice score on the interior, where did you score the R32 seats from (and for how much)?

I'd love to get a sit in the R32 seats to see how much of a difference they make from the stock seats (more interested in the different shape and depth than anything else, though won't say no to the improved support

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

Ah a mates misfortune shall we say, Haven't actually figured out the price yet as it depends on how much im taking.

They're really nice, Way more supportive and the bolsters really keep you in through the tight turns. Really holds you in compared to the stock leather.
