Hopefully I could get my hands on some better equipment and make a real hobby out of this

avimadvibez

Just a little hobby me and my brother want to undertake - taking a 2wd car to areas in Trinidad where you wont normally see them....4x4 trails, forest tracks, as far as we could possibly go.

Rear coils?!?! do tell good man!!! from whence did you procure such goodness? lol dont mind me. Its just coilover sleeves on tokico b14 shocks. The height of the b14 shocks allows for a drop with the coilovers without compressing the shocks too much since they're shorter than the original rover sho...

Got to doing some serious work this easter week. Knew i had a bearing problem, so I decided to gut out the front and and start fresh, meaning new joints, hubs, bearings, ends, bushings etc, and installed the new control arms and brakes. The car is now basically back to 100% working order in the fron...

Respect to you guys, have an old that i recovered w126 sitting in my garage but struggling to find the time to sweeten her up, anyone know of any benz specialist down here and where i can get parts? If its something you could do/attempt to do on your own, you should definitely try. As far as parts ...

avimadvibez

That's how it goes sometimes. Glad to see you doing it right the first time I had a somewhatofaproject sunny before, tried to do it the shortcut way, lets just say its sitting in a scrap iron yard somewhere. One thing I've realized about a project, its gonna cost alot more than you intend to spend,...

Ok so I have reached a point in the build where I cannot move forward without replacing the suspension components. There are things that can be done, but I just cant bring myself to doing them, knowing that the car is still far from being road perfect. So next up on the agenda, since i cannot locate...

Redid the exhaust today, no more loud barrel life. Gonna run it this way till i get time to do extractors etc, but it builds power much faster now than before. Also no need for long stares from police as they pass by, and now my family won't know when i leave the house at night
