Started with the brumby.
About 2 -3 months ago, i jumped in the brumby to head to work to get half way up the road and cough cough dead.
I was running late. So i did a head check and rolled the ute back down the road up the gutter and left it on my nature strip for....well 2-3 months:P
I then moved housies, not too long ago and decided to give the brumby a go.
Still no fire.
Just turned over but no start.
I pulled the carbie apart and broke it:P So i pulled one of my spare L series and fitted it. (was fiddly)
Tried to start. still nothing.
I drained the fuel to find 9 litres of water in there :O
Woah!!
I gave up for the week.
Had another go the next week or so. To find more water in the fuel... Apporx 5 litres to be exact.
I pulled out the fuel tank to find that there was a bunch of nails through the tray and into the fuel tank. I counted 7... That could explain the water in the fuel.
I pulled out the nails, put a new tank in, filled her up, and vroomm. It's alive..
So happy.
Here are some pics of the fuel tank.. Idiot previous owner. tsk tsk tsk
Nail holes...Fun fun. Very dangerous.
Then i bought another L wagon for my missus as a surprise gift.
Let me warn you all. Never try and be helpful to women!!.. "I don't like it, i want an auto!!!! Sell it.. Meh. I was devistated. B!tch.
Had a bit of damage to the bonnet, under bumper piece, and vacuum bottle had disinegrated.
After about 1.5 hours, and a bit of tongue maneuvering, i managed to replace the damage. I took the parts from the Monster Wagon and parts car.
It was quite difficult taking the bonnet of a large subaru myself and putting a new one on.. but i got there.
Happy with the out come.
All that's left if a CV replacement and a brake pad change, install power steering and she is ready to sell.
Thanks for listening
and enjoy your night.
, kidding.
