bmhor Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 As the subject has changed from the search for a LWT bulkhead top panel to the ongoing status of the project, a new thread was called for. Just to reiterate the status, the LWT bulkhead was ROTTEN! and I happened to have a 90 bulkhead lying about. The problem is that all Ser 2/3's 90/110's are wider than a LWT by about 4" so there were some mods to be done. Before http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2319 After http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2317 http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2318 Well the first day of the holidays has been very productive, not only have I done my Xmas shopping, I've evn got the "new" Isuzu engine into the LWT, sorted through the remains of the wiring loom that we cut out of the pickup and got it running. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2321 In order to make the front wheel arch look right, I've added a panel to the outside edge of the footwell. These are made from 2mm steel and welded in place. Before folding http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2322 After http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2323 After fitting this, the old pressing that the wing bolts to, was moved from the old bulkhead to the new bulkhead and the wing fitted. It fits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2324 The last job for Sat. was to replace the clutch slave cyl and fit a grease nipple to the pivot shaft. Most clutch assys. are already drilled with a 1/4" unf hole for a grease nipple to screw into and greasing the shaft stops clutch squeek. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?automodu...si&img=2320 Tomorrow should be the other side....

bmhor Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 No photo's yet, but the Pheonix lives and drives. Maiden test flight yesterday, out of the garage (well I was on my own and needed to turn her around!) and back in. Interesting driving with NO brakes (not even the pedal!) and having to pull the end of the Isuzu throttle cable by hand.... No strange noises (yet) and sounds quite fruity with only the front pipe on, might be tempted not to bother with a silencer at all...

siearl Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 JUst having a few iginition problems, think it is the dizzy thats the problem having had coil and module replaced and an exploding cooling fan thrown in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmhor Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Go to the scrappies and "collect" the twin fan setup from a Mondeo. Its almost the exact size for the L/W rad and if you use the fan temp switch made by the guys at X-eng (SimonR is the username on this forum I think) the jobs a piece of p1ss. Which dissy do you have on there? Is it the one with the small black module on the side? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siearl Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The dizzy on there is a one that links up to coil and module, 35dm8 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmhor Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well just to prove it does move: Its been a productive weekend, with thoughts of things to come: This shows the mods to the read wheel arches to recentralise the rear wheel: Started work on the radiator panel, stripped off the O/S headlamp plate as it's fck'd! Here's the old one, with its sucessor marked out on the sheet to be plasma cut Also managed to fit the O/S/F brake caliper (110 with vented disks), which was a pig as the R/R axle is an early one with imperial mountings and the new caliper is metric! Out with the taps and retap the swivel housing to M12 x 1.75 Also got the brake servo in and the pipes connected to the rear cct. together with the O/S/F and started on the N/S How come all the simple things take the time??

callum Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 looking almost like a car now. how's the 'suzu running? still sans exhaust? what sort of lid are you going to put on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmhor Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 looking almost like a car now. how's the 'suzu running? still sans exhaust?what sort of lid are you going to put on the car? Not been near the engine for a while, too busy doing other bits. Roof is optional at the moment, I need to find a set of 90/110 hood sticks as I'ld like to soft top it but I do have the remains of a 110 CSW roof (yellow) to shorten to match the rear body. Time will tell. Did you seen my post about xmembers? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmhor Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well that it the work shop MUST be FULL and the steel box at the back of the work Shop and maybe the road to the work shop Hi Henry, Well you've not seen the stages for 2007 Scottish Hillrally yet..... The GlenAlmond might just give you a run for your money.. Imagine in tunnels being able to turn in your own length and miss all the trees that I normally hit.... Dream on! Now all we've got to do is rechassis Scuba's 110 next weekend, change the clutch on a R/R (was stripping that down outside last night in the snow ffffffffff'icking cold!) and finish putting the cage on Cam's 90..... Nothing a month of Sundays won't cure. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Webster Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 No shortage of projects then Bob! I'm trying to work out how I can afford to do the Scottish Hillrally and the suspension to allow me to do it justice! I can't go any faster on that event as it is. Oh and I'm rebuilding the engine because it divested itself of oil in the middle of last year's event! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmhor Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well the secret's out now as Earl and Si were poking about the garage at the weekend. The brakes are done, some more of the body's been rubbed down and most importantly, I've turned it around again! At present I'm stuck for a couple of bits, the header rail for the softtop on a 90/110 together with the bits above the doors and an old 110 canvas to modify, so if anyone could help...............
