I've took the roof of mine and stripped all the roof out and now I don't know how to start relining it can u plz help with some ideas of how to board it out
@TheTinski07Күн бұрын
Easiest way is probably to stick some battens in with something like tec7. Cut your top ceiling boards and carpet them before putting them in. The side panels are more tricky but you could make cardboard templates or use strips of timber glued with a hot glue gun to make the shape of the side panel and cut it out of plywood. It's a pain in the arse any which way. Easier when the roof is on the ground up side down

My wind-up window on driver's side rocks back and forth, seemingly far more than it should do. If it's down low it knocks on quarter light when braking, but more so on door frame when accelerating. Any idea what's gone wrong in the door?
@TheTinski072 ай бұрын
Could be the bottom of the bar that separates the quarter light has completely rotted away. They usually are fairly rotten. Normally if the scrubber seal and upper seal are good they hold the glass pretty tight. I've also seen the piece that clamps the glass to the window regulator rot away.

I have digital temperature gauges so I can see the temperature on the cylinder heads very accurately. Whenever I come to a stop (and cooling water supply slows) the temps will spike by a few degrees so I usually wait until its dropped back to about 1 degree below below operating temperature. Can be a few minutes after a long run or maybe a minute after short lower rpm hops. That's what I do at least. I have to start and stop numerous times per day

I ran it with 4.5ltrs as standard. Ultimate engineering's page had a photo of a cut sump showing it with the adapter and pick up. Best to look at that if you were interested to see how close to the pan base it sits. I did use the baffle type sump gasket and I'd have no concerns with it really.

Nice! My biggest concern with this application that you have to lower and engine and transmission so that your cv axles are not too high angle. How much cm or inches did you have to lower engine and transmission to get the cv axles at the same angle to where they were before having a flipped transmission?

I did a TDI swap on my 1.6 TD 5 speed '88 camper but I used an AHU TDI. Some of the issues were similar with the swap you did, but having my new engine share the familial engine block geometry with the 1.6 really reduced the fabrication necessary. I am very happy with the results as the van is so much better to drive.

Most of my install was straight forward (including using my existing 5 speed gearbox, a Corrado flywheel, and latter water boxer clutch disk) but I ended up using the original JX turbo and exhaust manifold so I could keep my relatively new stainless exhaust.. The turbo failed soon after and that started a series of issues I have had with the install. The biggest problem I have had has been with oil pumps and getting enough pressure and flow to supply the turbo, bearings and also the lifters. Long story in short, after a couple of engine and turbo fails I now have a fully rebuilt engine with the physically larger VW oil pump and that seems to have solved things. The van now runs great.

Fly in the ointment of this repair - I know as I do them, was doing one today as it happens (I hate them) - is the front of the cill runs into/inside the body-mount & there's ZERO access to that with the body on - there's also ZERO access to good steel up the front of the sill/cill where it runs up alongside the chassis rail. Any repair done with the body on the chassis will be a "compromise" repair. These are IMPOSSIBLE to repair properly with the body on the chassis. Nope - not possible. Reality demands that they get done without removing the cab as the cost gets prohibitive very fast - but it will always just be a spoof-version that keeps it going a while longer. You will be leaving corrosion, you will be welding onto dodgy metal, you will not be returning anything to "Factory" condition & it will be an absolute massive PITA to effect any sort of a presentable repair. People can bore me about how wrong I am - I do it for a living, I'm not. Of all the vehicles I repair - I repair dozens & dozens annually - Toyotas & Ford Transits are the hardest vehicles to do any sort of a "Good" repair on. There will always be "sketchy" stuff involved when repairing either unless the customer has a massive budget (they never do). If you own a Hilux (or a Landcruiser for that matter) - or a Transit of any year - the absolute best advice I can give you is pay someone competent to do a really really comprehensive rust-proofing treatment to it. Otherwise you WILL be left holding a key & a good engine, with no body. If you bother getting the rust repaired, that's just a load of money down the drain if you don't then ask the person doing the repairs to drown every cavity, every orifice & the entire inner chassis in rustproofer. You might wince at the bill, but it will work out a LOT cheaper medium term than going buying a new vehicle. Pay the guy to rustproof it. Otherwise you just wasted your money getting bits repaired.
@TheTinski0711 ай бұрын
Your not wrong. They should be trailered from the dealership when you buy it straight to proper rust proofing. We bought this one a few years but they are numbered. The lack of drain holes in the chassis is ridiculous and one thing the l200 had over them

We have MOTs here, known as NCT on private cars and CRVT on vans and commercial vehicles which includes campers. 30yrs is vintage and 40years is test exempt. Engine swaps have to be signed off by a Main dealer. This is just a quick look to prove its actually been changed then the forms are signed and send off to change it on the register. The insurers will ask for an engineers report as well. Insurance is a real pain in the ass here and they really don't like any sort of modifications but it is a lot easier on a vintage vehicle

I still use flux core but keep upgrading the welders. I have no real experience with gas mig because of the issues with bottle hire etc. Also because its mostly 1second spot welds it seems odd to be using 3 seconds of gas per spot. I may be converted yet though. As for the acid I've been using a few different ones. The current one is a glass bottle by rustins. It does absolutely nothing of there is any depth of rust tho. I've just started using a 2k epoxy primer that comes with a epoxy hardener (not isocyanate) and really impressed with it for bare metal. I'll get you a name. For general repairs I just use cellulose

You have to remove 1.5cm from the front of the gearbox to allow fir the adapter thickness.
