Re: Diesel swap

I fitted a 1.5td Isuzu engine out of a corsa mated to an omega gearbox it is not a conversion for the feint hearted. I believe this to be one of the easier diesel engines to fit, but i still had to fab new engine mounts, modify the clutch flywheel and release bearing, widen the transmission tunnel h...

Re: new springs :-D

I think your probably right jordi was hoping to increase the ride height a little as have been running it for years on +2" springs and +2" shackles and when the springs get tired the tyres rub on the arches when off roading. This is my third set of springs in 5ish years. And I was hoping t...

Got spring perches welded on rear axle and then while it was off thought it would be rude not to give it a good going over with a flappy disc and a lick of good old hammerite. Then stripped a...

Re: new springs :-D

Just toying with the idea of shackle reverse at the moment. If I was to go down that route it would be home made brackets for minimal lift. Same as my spoa brackets have made them sit as tight to the axle as possible giving 4" of lift including spring pack.

Re: new springs :-D

So started the sj rebuild/rejuvenation today. Here's how she looked before starting. 2014-04-19 16.31.18.jpg Have made spring over axle perches to weld on so i can go back to standard length shackles but keep the same amount of lift for my 31's.
