:helloo:

I'm off to Tassy with the wife on 27th Dec and need a hand to get a shitload of stuff done to my car before I go.
My old man has just left to go back to China and won't be getting back till the 2nd week of December and he is one I'd normally turn to for mechanical help.
My list of stuff that needs to be done is:

Rear disc brake conversion. I have a second diff and set of axles, just need to remove the old bearings and press on the new ones along with the conversions kit and then take it down to get new lines bent up. Then get it fitted to the zook. Plasma cut the coil load helper bracket off the old diff and fab it up to be a bracket that will be held in place with the ubolts.

New rear tail shaft. I just put new unis in the old one about 2 months ago but they just dropped in, the caps are not a press fit any more :D Anyone know where I can get a new LWB tailshaft made and what sort of price?

Along with the rear disc conversion, I have a LWB vitara brake upgrade for the front. Wheel bearings need cleaning and regreasing and check the cvs.

Master brake cylinder upgrade. I have the forester upgrade and new lines care of PJ, needs to be fitted.

New clutch and flywheel gear. I have no idea where to get the new flywheel ring gear, help?!!?! Also I have a near new starter from B4T to fit.

110amp falcon alternator upgrade. I've got the alternator (thanks again B4T :D), got the vitara water pump pully and swift crank pully, just need to get it fitted.

Dank is sorting out a 105amp deep cycle battery. I want to mount it up under the car to keep the c.o.g nice and low. I need help getting it all wired in. I'm looking for a simple as shit isolator thats pretty much idiot proof and will suit the falcon 110amp alt. I have a few ideas with the wiring, but won't go into it here.

I want to ditch the fiberglass canopy and flat tray the back with marine ply (i have the ply) and make the rear tail gate a dropper. I have all the ply, just need a hand to fit a 2nd b pillar and seal up the cabin (along with a window) and make a frame for the flat bit on the back and fit the ply. At the same time I have a set of roof racks (thanks remydog05 :D) that i need to fab a bit and make fit. Then I have a soft top that I'm going to chop a bit and make it cover the back so my fridge doesn't get wet!

And finally, this all needs to be done before christmas :blink: :blink: :blink:

I was looking at the weekend 12/13th of nov and or the weekend of the 19/20 nov to smash it all. Another minor problem is the zook is my daily so anything that gets started on a weekend, I need to car running for the monday :p Would be much easier if i had a second car, but I don't hence the reason i'm asking for help.
I have a standing agreement with the local bottle shop :D When I come in, they sell me beer :lol: so there is no shortage to liquid assistance and I also will provide a bbq feed :D

Let me know if you can help, any help would be great!

Dave

Yeah its alot to get done, any weekend you have a free bitta shed space :lol:

I realise its alot to get done, hence the reason I'm peaking out a bit about it all. The only bit that I'm not overly worried about is the canopy conversion. Its up on my list of things I want done, but it won't be the end of the world if it doesn't get done. The rest of the stuff, well,,,,,,,,,,

Bring it round mate, I got a heap of space... apart from the Pathfinder, Sierra, caravan, Transit, Hiace, Echo, Pulsar, trailer, buggy, plus the TRX and the Boulevard... but I'm sure I can ram it in somewhere.
