Take the car for a fang and get the motor up to operating temp, cause most times a leak wont show up till everythings all nicely warmed up and expending at different rates.

Its the going rage at Noosa and Coolum. To have their houses made from Bluescope roofing iron. Its to keep in touch and to have a low environmental impact or some rubbish. Its either that or paint the house some stupid colour like bright blue, fluro pink or a rancid yellow Grad the owners don't live in Toowoomba here - can't even update the electrical wiring :no2: Kinda reminds me of when we was shopping around for a house. One place we looked at the master bed had the ensuite behind a false wall

never really thought of it like that About the only time i'll really do it is coming up to traffic lights and/or sitting at the lights at times and i'll only if i'm in front

Same.

I prefer the seca over the hatch cause its more practical then what the hatch is. And i think its better balanced as well. And i know the feeling of getting disheartened in the whole project thing. I can't really see the point of starting up a thread on my bucket of bolts cause with things like about mid way through last year i finely pulled the motor out of the car, about 4-5 months back the x-member came out and the weekend just gone i finely got around to giving the x-member a bit of clean up. I walk into the garage and i look at the thing and think "Why bother? and i also ponder the idea of selling it and getting one thats already on the road, but then i start thinking of that i'll just be going back to square one again in that i'll be wanting to take the car off the road so that the power windows can go in, the central locking can go in, the undecided motor and undecided gearbox can go in, the up-graded suspension and brakes can go on, a repaint in the colour i want can be done, better seats, better stereo, better dash. But in the one i've already got i've already fitted the p/windows and c/locking and it was half a bitch to do which means i don't have to do it again.....

You sure its not oil ? Cause the coolant passages don't go any lower then the cylinder bores which would mean that the coolant is coming from else where and pooling in that spot till it overflows

Wouldn't say no to one of them if i had the chance and had the money. But anyway, i'm no turbo expert but it could be a carbon build up. I'd say get a vacuum gauge on to it and see what the idle's like - might sound ok but.... And then see about a turbo gauge to see what the boost is like. But like i said - i'm no turbo expert Have you tried having a google for things like "Turbo Troubleshooting" ?

WGMG - work and a couple of the staff there. Have a new accounts clerk or what ever she is and with her comes her attitude of "my shut smells better then yours". If your standing in her room, she'll just push past. Well, i'm on a one month probation period at work and i don't really believe i'll still be there after the month cause i'm getting the feeling i'm being used as a scapegoat. Like on thursday a pallet of welding wire, 50 x 15kg rolls (or 750kg) on the pallet and all that was holding them to the pallet was plastic wrap (bit like your typical kitchen cling wrap but a little bit stronger) and nothing else except a hope and a prayer. Loaded on the couriers truck and about 15 minutes later he was back with death in his eyes. I had nothing to do with it but some how it was my fault and i don't think it went to nicely when i turned around and said that if it was me that did the pallet i would have also used strapping to strap the welding rolls to the pallet and then wrapped it. Anyways, talking to a few of the guys out the front and they reckon that the warehouse is going to fall apart after i get the boot cause i'm the only one that does things properly and that i'm honest in if i stuff up. Anyways, about the only thing that i'm a little scared of when i get the boot is with the loose of income and the bills extra. Apart form that i kinda see it as a good thing cause i'll be able to spend more time with my family and that also my girlfriend would like the chance of experiencing a working life so its going to be interesting with a change of roles. Edit - due to social reasons - so look to your email for the last comment :dance:

Heck man, don't let all your hard effort go to waste grab a tarp or a waterproof car cover or something to give the primer at least some protection. But yeah we've got friends down that way and they were just telling us before that their at the point of giving up on things cause of the wind and just let it all run its course - "what blows away, can stay away"

Yes Can't say about the speedo cable, i've forgotten

That was meee Its good to see that you've been doing some searching on the subject :wink: But as posted by Banjo you will need the manual gearbox x-member. Also as posted by him, i thought the ke3x/5x was just the same as the e70. But on that note, i've heard that the e70 wagon is different in width between the rails at least

Trying to think of an Irish joke :wink:

Oh ok Just thought it was '35 cause dad and i pulled it from a '35

Yeah, there's an easy fix put the auto back in and do a search It tends to get rather annoying in answering the same question over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and again

I picked mine up from the dump when it was a real trash and treasure But the fascia was all smashed up

Looks like a take on the Reese bar but with leanings to a 4-link suspension. :wink: yeah does look interesting. Just would have to figure out on the right type of shock absorbers and placements of the brackets

Nice :wink:

Make sure your not using lowering blocks, it'll aggravate the tramping. Caltrack (?spelling) bars are good but they do affect the suspension Tramp bars (slap bars, traction bars) i think are better but they can also have side affects especially if (or when) the rubber stoppers wear out. But they don't effect the general suspension movement as much. Adding half-a-leaf as you've said would be the go. It still does effect the general suspension movement. But you can fairly easily adjust the the action of the half leaf - thinner, thicker, longer, shorter. Nolethane bushes wouldn't really do anything cause whats happening is that the leaves are winding up the wheels loose traction and the spring unwinds, gains traction spring winds up, looses traction. The bushes more help with side to side and rolling movement. If your not to worried about a bit of fab work - a Reese bar is good

fluoride edit - spelling

Urm, well, the front left corner was crushed in or at least from what i'm guessing and, urm, its being played with

Got to work yesterday. Boss pulls me into his office and basically tells me to pick my game up cause others are getting sick of picking up my slack and yet its known that i've a back problem at the moment and i can't lift heavy things. My thinks its time i went to see my chiro and the doc and get a health condition report or what ever its called

You could even pull the starter and hook it up to the battery and see what happens.

:sob: as clear as mud that one. But then again mines a 1980 model '55 with a ke30 grill, bonnet and tail lights but with a late '55 dash

The t-18 struts fit in by using the e7 top hat and a steering arm from either the t-18, rt104 corona or a celica from about the same era, thats how. And as for the t-18 springs in the front struts, i'm not really sure.
