I drove it from Tamworth to Sydney and left it in storage for a few weeks whilei went back to NZ for a while.
On my return, 4 of us drove to orange for a wedding and back to sydney, then i drove it back to mackay.
About 2800kms so far!
The engine runs like a dream, didnt burn any oil or lose any water, bit of a leak at the rear of the motor, im hoping its a rocker cover gasket. Its only 3 speed so at 100kmh on the highway its doing about 3450rpm. The speedo is pretty optimistic however. Its reading about 18% too fast so the total milage on the car is only 130,000kms
The alternator failed while in Orange, but found one at a wreckers and we were back on the road in a short time.
Also had a bad fuel smell when going round left hand corners. Discovered it was caused by a previous repair to the right rear panel and the sealant around the filler had not been put back on. $20 at supercheap- cheap screwdriver set and some sikaflex and it was cured.
And i lost a bloody hubcap! The roads in qld are really sh*t. I drove through rural nsw for nearly 2000kms with no trouble, as soon as i hit qld the roads turned to sh*t and i lost a hubcap between a petrol station in the middle of nowhere and another petrol station in the middle of nowhere
Currently sitting in my yard in Mackay. Need to locate a shed to store it and work on my other car, we have been looking for suitable house with shed to rent but it bloody expensive up here!
Not sure what i want to do with it yet.
-It needs some minor panel repairs to the front left corner and rear left quarter.
-The windscreen has been replaced without the seal, just sikaflex and the trim has just been stuck to the glue so i would like to replace that
-Dash has a few big cracks. I have found a new one, but its a bit expensive
-Repair the front bumper, i hit a kangaroo at 3am in the middle of nowhere which brings me to the next bit
-Work on the front brakes as it pulls to the right pretty hard
-Remove the towbar and rear bumper. Its had a big hit up the bum at some stage and there is a fair bit of damage to the bumper, and steel in front of it
-Maybe fit a 4 speed box and change the diff from the current 4.11 to a 3.7 or similar for better cruising
