Du kan prøve å justere hoved brakettene for støtfangeren, sitter 2 bolter på kvar side ved tverbjelken under radiatoren. løsner de 2 boltene på hver side å kan finjustere litt høyden/vinklinga.

Hullene bak på sidend hadde eg også, så lenge du har litt god tid, riktig utstyr og får sveiset inn litt nytt stål med litt forming, så kan du få det greit til.. best å ta av bakfanger og side dekslene.

Dinitrol wax on, what a mess, empty 2 bottle cans. Throw on some plastic bag protection and look hillarious.

Anyway it's done and brakelines is ready to be installed soon.. also found some new bushings for the front swaybar that fits.. but the clamps have to be cleaned for rust first. Rear swaybar tested on axle, but need to mod some new bolts i bought today.

Took a short trip to the garage today and re-make the brakelines cause i want to have same type of brakelines that is on the rear axle, and they are a bit stronger and look nicer. lol

Installed the footbrake cables as well to the frame, and also prepared my new (old) drilling machine, lol

A good and a long day in the shed with different stuff.

Now all 4 links are installed, some wires hokked up to the frame and preparing some other stuff for the shocks and the rear swaybar.

The springs are ugly, i could clean them but they just got a wash and a dry before install.

Bumper

Justerte framfangeren. Fikk litt bedre vinkel og høyde på den, men den er skjeiv. Bilen ble grøftet av forrige eier, så sikkert fått seg en trøkk. Tar av fangeren og sjekker brakettene.

Noen andre tips du har sånn karrosseri/ramme messig? Har alt behandlet støtdemper festet bak. Skal male hele bakre ramme før fluid film.

New oil on rear diff, bumper holders installed, all brakelines are connected and ready for bleeding, wheel houses got some butyl sound deadning.

Have more pics of other works but not done yet..

Today i begun to add sheep fat inside holes and inside the rearpart of the frame..the bumperstops, the rear panhard mount box on the axlw and up in the floor around..

Installed the heat shield for the muffler. and added a finish coat on the filling tube for the diesel. Also drilled out a broken bolt and re-thread it, for the fuel tank hanger, from M8 to M10..

After fixing brakes on another car i have earlier today, i begun to extend the rear links for the stabilizer bar this evening.

Bought 2 new one, and welded together with a old link that had the same diameter rod. Extended them 30mm so the swaybar have the same angle as the lower link control arms..think that should work.

The old ones was extended also by another older owner, but was a bit long.. and was thrash.

Need some paint at end.

 

[4RunnerSafari]

New paint on the shocks, also bought a new original muffler. im lazy to weld the old one, it was one tiny hole that became superbig rusty one... maybe will fix it later.. right now im focused to get it done.

Fuel tank is on, and the shield,filling hose are on.

Today i decide to fit and weld the endpipes,installed the new muffler the day before.

Amazing how much work you've put in to this thing so far, I wish I could weld half that well. Those swaybar end links came up great.

 

[4RunnerSafari]

Thank you for kind words, it have been a journey for sure. lol.


Visit the garage today again to finish the exhaust pipe rear hanger and mount it to the muffler with new gasket, sits pretty solid now.

Installed the wheels so i can put it on the ground very soon.

So since the rear end is on the ground i begun in front. my new rims from the U.S also arrived a few weeks ago.

Since the wheelbearings is still ok i just repack them with new grease and add a new seal, and will bring new bearings in the car instead.

Had to do a emergency fix on the lower control arm until i will get 2 new later was to cut out and weld in some new steel on the rear. these cars need really some attention for some wash and keep the drainageholes open around or it will be a disaster with the time..

Tought i had a bad carrier bearing if my front diff...but forgot the hubs have some needle bearing in there.. i guess the hub could be replaced so the tolerances would be a bit tighter.

Anyway i changed the needle support bearing today and got a bit tighter tolerance. Also inspect and regrease (a lot) the front driveshaft and installed it.

To guide in the needlebearing i use the Hub as a guide without the c-clips, then use a 30mm socket to carefull bang the rest in.
I use a flat screwdriver that i grind very flat so i could get it under the old bearing, i pre heat it first.
I don't have any puller yet so that was the easyest way. Works ok.
