4 litre to paint a ute shit did you give it 40 coats,lol man i paint around 200 cars truck utes a year 3litres of base coat is plenty to smash around a ute 3 to 4 coats is plenty even like my xe itl take 3 litres ,to change the colour from a bare shell,cheers

itl take 5 minutes to replace or hours of rooting around hhmm! lol

GET a set of brake line pliers ,squeeze off said brake line ,take off caliper,walk over to bin remove lid and deposit caliper into this receptical

when i was a young fella ,my mates dad bought a 1978 xd s pak van 4.1 ,4 speed which was this colour, it was a cool looking van slotters lowered ,deckedout

yup bolt straight on

i dont have a fuel line for mine,as im running lpg

You sound like me ,no one touches my cars or bikes, do you think its a disease ,lol

let them find it give em something to look for!

if you havent pulled the hindge off the body dont touch it,just adjust the door

not to hard ,to align, loosen the 4x front bolts ,put a trolley jack under the front of the door to lift it a little nip up 1x bolt top n botton, then remove jack and close to check for alignment, this might need to be done a few times ,but easy as process.

when you get to the black ,just remember to give it 3x good coats of clear, other wise itl look like poo.

make mounts to mount them ,by thermostatically controlled switch to screw into the block,wire through a relay,im sure super cheap does wiring kits for 50bucks, also run an internal switch so u can over ride the thermostatically controlled switch, if you get caught in traffic and want them on all the time, also keep in mind these puppies draw a lot of juice so use a good quality switch i fitted them to my old ea with a 351 clevo init and until i spent good money on a good switch i always had dramas with them,

no it fits straight in, so i thought after putting the xe dash in will the el dash fit,well low and behold the el dash was almost a direct fit,with the exception of the 2x outter top screw holes,

ive got an el pedal box in my XE bolted straight in, also bolted my old xe pedal box into my mates eb a few weeks back, yes to look at they seem diff but there basically all the same

xe to el pedal boxes are the same ,ive welded up heaps of them

dont bother with the BA bellhousing as they run an internal slave cylinder ,and are priced to offend even a rich person,

check the pcv valve give it a shake to see if you can hear it rattle, if not is rooted ,if it rattles quietly give it a soak in petrol to clean it,

you dont want to remove the rough finish were the engine number goes the cops will lock you up,

jack it up check the bearings first, also make sure the little metal spacer plates are behind the pads, or if they have been glued back to the piston in the caliper,as a floating pad will give you the same noise

if you want a little om-the stick in AU it will be a little richer at idle ,THOM knows 4litres inside n out,lol

the gas flows into the intake ,it will affect the injector,s i am a mechanic! ive done heaps of gas work.

lpg leaves a really oily residue behind ,chuck another set of injectors at it itl be fine, also flush the fuel tank in the fuel is older then a month old ,give the throttle body a clean including the idle speed motor,and fit a new fuel filter

crossy front seals sux big time,i did one in a corty i had once ,radiator out ,loosen sump timing cover off ,seal goes in from the inside ,not externally fitted they are a kunt ,

the smaller spring is a pain, it wont really do anything ,2nd leaf spring ,yes the tension, is hard ,before you pull the spring down drop a big phillips head screw driver or a bit of threaded rod with nuts onit to keep the bolt hole lined up as well ,yes getting the shits with cars is normal
