JDM55 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 just a few small up dates today, first one , i had my brake lines made up by maltech ,a guy comes out with a van and makes the new lines on the spot,which was handy as the car couldnt exactly drive anywhere, down side this ended up costing me a hell of a lot of cash that i hadnt except to have to forkout for, prior to that i had tryed several times to make lines up , but the guy who i had doing the flairing was not exactly good at doing them and i constantly was getting leaks everywhere,very frustrating stuff when you spend a whole day cutting and bending lines then only to find they leak and have to be done again !! any way had to bite the bullet and let some one else take it on, the guy came one moring about 10 spent the whole day till about 6 at night making the new lines, its very slow process but here done a nice tidy job, also had some custom hand brake cables made up ,havnt had a chance to bleed them out yet , but should be no problems this time ,apparently ........ the set up is a ke35 brake booster and a pajero master cyclinder, also have a proportional valve fitted into the rear line , hoist is a life saver Quote
JDM55 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) also starting to putt more parts back on the car ,which is great instead of taking parts off for once, , here i just painted the window frame thingos so could get some windows back in the doors.... one of the rear door window frames had a tiny little piece of plastic on the top of it , that piece fills the gap between the window frame and the door frame, while i was preping it ,it broke into little pieces, the joys of 30 year old parts lol, any way i managed to reconstruct it out of bog hahahaha ,you couldnt even tell once it was painted :P finally was able to get rid of some boxes too, the amount of boxes ive used to store parts from the car has been rediculous, there frigen every where!!!! any way great to get some parts back on the car as well as some new bits, rear 1/4 glass going in , has a light tint on the windows ,still in ok condition so gona leave them like that , replaced the old central lock with fresh ones ... started to do a little wiring as with everything takes a bit of time, running wires from door into the pillars also wanted to fit some speakers , but since they were mounted rite inside the doors ,didnt realy want them getting wet , came up with a dodgey solution that id seen before in some other cars , sort of like a cover , not exactly the sort of thing you can just go buy and it would fitt perfectly so have to do a bit of custom, again. its time for arts and crafts!!!!! gluing the 2 pieces of the cover together, they were cut from a piece of art folder... ta da lololol well thats the general idea anyway Edited May 8, 2011 by JDM55 Quote
JDM55 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 bit of tape for my extra hands cheers to evan for the deal on the speakers! , they were perfect for what i needed the down side to having the speaker rite inside the door i found was the window runner comes down and hits the speaker, not really the best thing , so come up with a solution for that one too, just a simple stopper , a piece of alloy haning off the bottom of the window ,works perfect Quote
