September 15, 200917 yr Author comment_374212 For now it'll be the 5K I bought 3 years ago for this project. But after having power with my Liberty I'm just unsure I'll be able to put up with the massive amount of power a K engine puts out. So the goal is to finish the car then do an engine conversion.

September 16, 200917 yr Author comment_374528 Not much of an update but I'm trying to do small amounts each day but sadly since i'm not well i tire real easily. I got her ass in the air and am not happy with how its sitting. Does anyone know if you can get chassis stands that are taller than usual?? The chassis is alot higher at the rear and I would like to remove the whole diff assembly and exhaust before painting the under carriage. That way I can get into the wheel arches a lot easier. Oh and the finished swaybar during the day... Report
September 16, 200917 yr comment_374531 you can get big f@$k off truck stands, my mate has a pair, sit alot higher than normal car ones, almost twice the height? not sure where they came from though... get some decent offcuts of beams when your back at work (oh, thats right, you only use metal frames :lolcry:) but you get the idea, and use those to pack it up Report
September 16, 200917 yr Author comment_374533 Still rather a chassis stand as it has a small head. That way I can paint around it and when I have it all put back together I only have a small spot to patch over. Report
September 16, 200917 yr Author comment_374546 hmm, I could give that a go. And concrete blocks are cheap as :lolcry: Report
September 17, 200917 yr Author comment_374699 Well I tried this afternoon to rig this up. It worked but in my eyes was too unstable for me to climb under the car. And here is the second attempt. I hope now I can drop the diff out then the exhaust and get cracking with the paint. Report
September 17, 200917 yr comment_374706 wow this has changed heaps since i last saw it it looks good now jon keep it up Report
September 22, 200917 yr comment_375944 Why not put stands on the front and back so its level chuck front ones under cross member and back ones at the rear on the sides under the back doors near the wheel arch put stands on a medium height i then used wheels on either side with piece of thick wood on each side ontop of wheels. I managed to change me clutch gear box tailshaft diff No problems Report
September 22, 200917 yr comment_375947 It may be a bit expensive... but... maybe a Hoist will do it. Report
September 23, 200917 yr Author comment_376069 The plan is to do the back, then the front. I'm hoping to paint the undercarriage so I need the least amount of surface covered. Also... Hardtops don't have back doors :P Report
October 4, 200917 yr Author comment_378897 More progress!! This time with help... Before... After... Before... After... Before... After... Before...
