Time to sort out the custom clutch pedal to work with the Hydraulic master cylinder. I've made two of these before. One by welding a bit of metal on as a bracket, another I bolted on a bit of box section. This time I wanted it to be really strong so I chopped up an actual Liberty clutch pedal to use...

http://i.imgur.com/PSb8xAJ.jpg?1 Top hose driver's side. This one I had a bend done on the radiator pipe itself due to clearance issues, this worked well. http://i.imgur.com/ACQeNcV.jpg?1 Bottom hose (it's on the passenger side). This was the ONLY way I could get it to work. It's a 90 degree bend s...

http://i.imgur.com/aJdvVKN.jpg?1 After a lot of playing around with clearances I decided on mounting two thermo fans between the radiator and the engine. This is really the best place for them. This way the fans themselves don't block airflow. This took ages to get right, and the clearance is reall...

http://i.imgur.com/MEBSS1D.jpg?1 Next I had to organise some sort of radiator. I had planned to use the EZ30 stock Liberty radiator but unfortunately upon looking at the clearance, this was not going to work. At the driver's side, the huge "lump" in the EZ30 timing cover protrudes right into where ...

Back to the rust repairs in the spare wheel well. Be prepared for some of the worst welding you've ever seen, but hey, it was functional and did the trick. All holes were covered up with patches of metal and welds. Plenty of grinding and some filling with fibreglass just to get a smoother finish and...

interesting to look at the Google trends:

There is a thin metal cover at the bottom of the bellhousing to close the gap between the bellhousing and engine, and also provides a good inspection gap to see the flywheel. Sometimes this can get bent up very slightly, just enough to rub against the flywheel ringgear and make grinding noises.

Checked out the tailshaft and all CV joints?

Hey I was wondering if you might have typed up a build thread with details on the caravan you've built? I'm quite interested in this type of thing

Ouch that's a tough decision. I guess the caravan is more important than the trike! If it were me and I'd built the two projects, I know which one I'd be compromising to let go (not the trike) but that's just me. I'd do a caravan again with lighter weight somehow, or more of a camper-trailer type se...

Looking forward to the TR

I do like the L series. Decent storage in the wagon area, good aproach and departure angles.
If I waste the LCA setup I could very easily shove the driveline package into any other suby I like anyway, standalone ecu makes that simple. Might go a Gen4 Outback maybe one day.

I'm curious about the fitting of the Liberty engine crossmember & LCA's As far as I know I was the first to do this way way back with the first Monsterwagon, as part of the huge 6" lift kit. There are photos etc in my other Monsterwagon thread I think. It's just a matter of making the lift blocks w...

Build details coming!

Lots of time yes, but really it could have been done alot quicker if I had more free time. It's been done basically 15 minutes at a time.

The Audi rims don't really look that good but I'm going for functionality over looks really.

Many photos will come, stay tuned

I organised a DCCD centre from an STI 5speed gearbox. This was a straight swap onto the back of the dual range SF gearbox, quite easy to do. I hear there are some difficulties getting a DCCD centre to fit but if you get one with the whole housing, it's just a straight swapover. http://i.imgur.com/ey...
