Engine out!

The Australia Day long weekend was a great time for some serious work on redbob. We got the old shitty engine out - and noticed that the lead was completely destroyed on the inside, I guess this is the reason it ran shithouse :) I am now prepping things for the installation of the old turbo m10.

We installed the leather interior, which looks the part - very happy with this. Looks absolutely tops.

We used some shelleys degreaser, when we noticed the picture on the front.

Redbob gets new gear

Since buying redbob I have installed my old rear subframe and all related components. This included the upgrade to 8bolt open diff from the original 6bolt, which was dead, and he barely even made the drive home.

I now have a LSD to fit to him. its another (I have 3 in this ratio now) 3.46 - but at least its LSD.

Whilst being the season to be merry, and spend money on anything at all - I purchased a set of Black sports seats. They are in good condition, bit of crows feeting which Ive noticed is common on 20+ year old leather. Anywho, I got front and rear and Im stoked.

Bring on the redbob.

Redbob graced (barely) my driveway 27th November 2007. From here the plans are simple for the short term. Get him going, handling, stopping and looking good doing it.

Lest we forget

The first post is a simple one.

Redbob came into my ownership on the 27th of November 2007. The predecessor of Redbob was the Silver Gal, who met an untimely end and whose parts shall shower Redbob in some good ole fashion go-fast bits :)
