Nice, what's the drop like?
Now you need a fresh coat of paint and soft top rear window :mrgreen:



The drop is nice and clean. Drives better also. The total opposite happened. we expected the rear to sit higher.. well its sitting level all the way around :P

as for paint and window.. yea.. FFG and me found out that WD40 easily removes plasti dip lol

Fitted new 3.9 ratio kaaz diff, all went far too smoothly only at the end to discover the passenger side rear seal is stuffed and leaking diff fluid everywhere. Too got to be bothered about it today

Looks like a great location
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Took it for a run up Mt Neebo and Glorius to test out the new rubber. What a difference! Also hit 200,000ks on the way!

KU31's on the front.
"Roadkill" sound deadening around the door speakers on the metal of the door and the plastic of the door card, and what was left ended up under the carpet on the transmission tunnel.

Changed the fuel filter. Not as simple on an NB as on NA's due to the plastic clips (bought new ones and fitted those prior to starting) but wasn't as bad a task as I thought it would be. Only a few drops of fuel spilled, mostly from the old filter.
