December 22, 201213 yr Author comment_640808 i am not one to whinge about deals, i know i cop it sweet, the onus is on me to make sure the car up to the standard of what i am expecting but holy fck... this is by far, the worst, dodgiest car i have ever seen..! seriously, everything i see, has been done wrong, or by half.. the more i look into it, the more i want to die.. today, i start raising the rear, flipping the leaves back, etc. the fcking thing was that low, the tailshaft had nearly worn through the floor, the diff sat hard on the floor, no rear suspension at all the leaves were flipped, the top one with the mounts they had cut through the mount support so it could be done this way, thus weakening the whole spring setup, pic below Report
December 22, 201213 yr Author comment_640809 while under there, i noticed the rear brake splitter had one line welded up thus making only the drivers side hooked up passenger line wasnt there.. Report
December 22, 201213 yr Author comment_640811 fuel pump 'wiring' as i was dropping the car back down, this put pressure on the way he had the fuel lines hooked up, pulling the line down and separated it, spraying fuel all over my head, down my arm into my arm pit.... also the exhaust was made to go under the diff, as it was so low, so when i raised it up, it sat on the exhaust, so i had to cut it off before the diff.. will get an over the axle bend made up i spose... height raised for the RWC after getting the rear sorted, i started on removing the clutch master cylinder to replace it took me 4 hrs.. trev had to come finish it off due to a brain fart of mine.. was numb at this stage and wanted to punch a hole through it i really want to Hug Luke or Kyle in the neck, with a fist tho I'm sure they will pass the buck, saying the other was responsible Edited December 22, 201213 yr by nerfbat Report
December 22, 201213 yr Author comment_640812 oh, the bloody shudder was the tailshaft bolts loose and nearly coming off.... lucky to be alive, after driving it home that night in the wet, like that the exhaust leak, it's the O2 sensor has fallen out. so close to going for a drive and patting these guys on the back, with a chair.. diliberately hid the dodgy sht and could have caused death or serious injury....
