Now is definitely the time to be getting on with everything while we have no choice but to be inside. I must admit I was expecting some WhatsApp photos from you Mark of new suspension being fitted to your 940 and a pair of wings! |

My dog is quite useful in the garden. If i want a hole dug, i get the hose and turn it on and point it at the ground where i want the hole. A few minutes later, i have a hole! By moving the hose round, she follows it so i can "sculpt" the hole to the shape i want. I still have to move the displaced earth but she does most of the hard work.

Have made a start to fix the saggy bolster on the 940, which have been putting off for a while, the seats in it originally were holed and ripped to hell so managed to get a new interior that was much better but the bolster was a little saggy, turns out that its got a wrecked bottom bit on the bolster
Couple pics of progress so far, bottom of the seat base comes off no bother at all, and at least only side to deal with Seat base off in a couple minutes, (The guide in the FAQ was awesome) by Jebus, on Flickr The sides should look like this by Jebus, on Flickr But the driver side of mine is a tad ruined by Mark Acton, on Flickr Ordered some contact glue and sewing stuff, shouldn't be too bad to fix, maybe add some reinforcement, so hopefully can make a start on the other jobs haven't gotten around too, and continue the hunt for a new tan dash since there are some cracks on mine..( I did have a spare a couple years ago but it was getting in the way so it got chucked out why is it when you get rid of spare parts, not long after you will most definitely need them)

How can they expect people to work like that long term! Quote:
What are you going to do with the engine? I might be in the market for the head at some point to rob all the bits for my 531 head. Quote:
I don't chuck anything now, that's why the garden has now become parts storage too haha. Quote:

Is it the sleeved bushes that need pushing in? They might go in with some lube and a socket in a vice.
What are you going to do with the engine? I might be in the market for the head at some point to rob all the bits for my 531 head. It is the sleeved bushes Luke. end of strut rods and control arms. I have a vice but It's pretty small and I'm not sure it would be up to the job. I'm planning on rebuilding the engine Luke with the bigger turbo that I bought. To what extent I'm not sure until I strip. It ran beautifully but it's on 220k so it could just be new rings and a freshen up or a full rebore with bigger pistons. Knowing me it will spiral out of control as usual Stroker crank etc etc etc blah blah blah

Give it a go mark, you will be amazed at what they can do. I removed mine with a vice and socket and the hydraulic press mushroomed the ends over.
Haha, that sounds good to me, a 2.5 big turbo 940 I just emptied the boot of my 360 after about 3 years of it having all of the turbo pipes, wiring, ECU's etc to convert it to turbo so I could store them away properly. I though I would hoover it too and as I lifted the boot carpet I found rust around two grommets! I've dealt with it straight away. Last edited by 360beast; Mar 28th, 2020 at 20:30. Reason: Spelling |
