The vermin hole being dealt with whilst I carry on with the rest of interior bits. May be a bit boring but keeps the thread up to date with the restoration requirements. Should be a bigger update coming to this thread next week! 👀 Leather glued a cotton patch in with a cotton wod under. Then...

The videos linked above - trailerfitter toolbox, will be so helpful for you. Loads of guides but there’s theory in them too from an old school fitter. Also look up the mike Brittania vids.

You’ll know when you find it. If your not experienced YouTube these points as you’ll soon find someone like mike or tasmania rovers has it covered. You want to look for play in your UJs, excess slack in prop. FYI UJs are a consumable and they also have grease nipples that you need to use to...

UJs? Drive shaft or cv? (You said it happened bad on full lock). Check prop promptly as you don’t want a UJ going on you

Got these on my pickup. You’d think they were noisy on road too but they aren’t! Decent aren’t they! Look great on the fender

Stupid question - how did you know that model fitted with your belt as assume it wasn’t listed as “d2”

Cheers Rich. I’m enjoying it a lot. I don’t have loads of time but try and get bits done when. I can. There’s absolutely no rushing with this one and I take time with each task. Ha, your temp fixes got it through though! Pulled boot floor carpet and was happy to see your plug welds etc. all...

And a comparison of the new dark grey vs the old light grey:

Continued colour changing is going well. You don’t realise how many bits of trim there are until you colour them all! The grey is a shade or so darker than existing. It freshens it right up! Door card below is after colour then sealer (cross link) coat. Centre panels are done in black with the...

Know that feeling!!! I’ve had a couple eves body work and shifting some parts about and that’s it!

Got anything done on it over the break mate? I’ve a challenge for you - do you do any stainless stuff at work? The disco has plastic carpet grippers. Either that or do them in raptor

dirt cheap on Amazon mate. Got careful when you’re removing around the seams - the leather seats have fabric webbing and the bars slide through that then the hog rings clip to the seat. You’ll see what I mean. As the fabric is so aged it just rips. I had to glue some of the webbing back together

Don’t know about the fabric ones but the leather seat covers are held onto the seat foam via horizontal bars and hog rings. You’ll want some hog ring pliers and rings off Amazon if so. There’s a bar wherever there’s a seam 👍🏻

So pretty! Wasn’t overly keen on colour but seeing it all together that colour is beautiful

The d2 was a rebound fling wasn’t it. Never had your heart

Thanks for this Flossie. Phil recommended this to find my water leak on disco (now solved) but now want to find what I’d bet money on is same leak as yours but want to confirm it!

Been driving her as a daily when I don’t need to have a child seat. Been bang on. Makes me very excited for the restoration. After going back and forth and actually using the 300tdi, the resto will be staying 300. It’s a lot more cash for not much reason. Cash I can’t warrant. A solid 300tdi can...

I went to drive my home then remembered I’ve got to take my other for a service in morn 😂. Yeah I love hicaps, just can’t comfortably fit in one 🤦‍♂️

Knob. I don’t think it was the clutch bearing piping up (although it really sounded there). Took the belt off and the bottom idler is clearly on the **** - visible just by spinning by hand. Need to find that part but for now I don’t need AC anyway! Have done a little rear door build….

Bluetooth trailing arm bush that. Right I’ll check mine. Mines still dicey like an mr2 turbo on a damp road 😂 Glad you’ve got it sorted mate, bet you’re chuffed That pickups a bit of me too 😎
