Again had the brakes bled after I changed the seized front right caliper. The shop also fitted line clamps too to check the brakes. Brakes were fine, until I left and then the pedal went all spongy again, which means I still have air in the braking circuit somewhere.

 

This is all being fixed on Wednesday next week by SA Brake & Clutch.

 

But today, I fitted an electric fuel pump, as I've been having vapour lock issues in hot weather.

 

The pump works and I've started it in the driveway, but havent taken it for a run just yet. Idles a damn sight smoother though :y:

And.... the pump failed.

 

Took it back and got a Goss aftermarket mechanical pump. Also changed the front wheels with new RT104 rims from the wreckers with half decent tyres.

All most ready for the great ocean road cruise :y: Let me know if SA brake have any trouble with the brakes.

Brakes sorted!

 

Pressure bled the brakes and vacuum bled the brakes at the same time to force the sludge buildup out of the rear lines and rear main line.

 

A big thanks goes out to George at SA Brake & Clutch for that one!

 

Now all that is left is to get the stereo installed and adjust the lifters a little and then its all done and ready! :P

Haha, I wouldnt say magic, it still has alot of wind noise, the stereo install!

that's just your aircon....if you close the windows, it disappears a bit :P

 

glad to hear you're (almost) all set for GoR.

good news on the brakes

Just bought some speakers, so should have the stereo wired in today and ready to go.

 

Hopefully I can change the window regulator easily and then I'm more or less set to go. :P

check my other spare door, its got a overrated brown door trim on it. PM me if your still interested in it

My interior is black, so not of any use to me :P

good to hear brakes are sorted atleast you will get a chance to give her a giant shake down on the great ocean road :) i can grab the reg out of my ke25 if you really need it let me know

Stereo is finally installed.

 

I've got a regulator here, just need to fit it tomorrow.

 

Since I have the day off, it can't be too difficult I guess :)
