Fixing things up
This 88 landrover thing is in Dublin zoo, annoyingly good shape..
Next up i was poking at my main computer when the heaksink fell off!
Easy to fix up, bigger fan along with some arctic paste of some sort i got off Donal about a million years ago.
Bigger quieter slower, all good.
Parts for the BajaCorsa!
Got given rear springs from a 00 astra, the wrong one’s. Combo front look the job.
Spent a few days chasing a set of 14″ wheel, gave up and dug these out.
Colour works i think.
Spare wheel also has some colour
If you like that sort of thing 🙁
Disc’s look a bit worn. and very tiny for a 995kilo car.
this passed it’s NCT about 200 miles ago?! the fuck are we paying for this shite in Ireland.
7.50 x 16 on a Corsa? why not?
By this time any way i’d only found three of my old starlets wheels, the feck with it any way i wrapped the new tyres on two at least.
Though i had tracked the third one down in there, nope some 5 stud wheel with two trees growing through it.
Only shot i have with new tyres fitted, must say the extra half inch plus the et38 fill out the archs nicely, also there appears to be enough space between strut and tyre to fit a 650mm. good to know…
Ended up wrapping the old et49 rims with the knobblies for the rear. But i could barely see my hands at that point it got so dark. also i’m working for the next thee days so i won’t see any more sunlight until Thursday
Another Thing NCT centre failed at, the ABS sensor wire has come adrift and was rubbing again the wheel.
Leaks but it’s still damping as it should. Spring it 13.5mm wire Dia. and 40mm opening at each end. might need that info to finally get the springs i need. may even have to get new ones. :/ don’t wanna spend much more money.
