Golberg's 1GGTE RN85 Hilux

[Golberg]

Alright, I have actually accomplished some things

These are now done


Hrm kinda sad when I look at it against the full list.

But alteast the Hilux is VERY clean inside and out now.

I need to get some pics up.

So its been a while hey?

I busted my wrist up pretty good and have been out of action for months now, but the wrist it all but good again now finally.

Anyhow since the last update the following has been done:
- The chassis mounts have been moved forwards now and welded back on
- I aquired a really good condition steering wheel (very hard to find)
- Got the rear vinyl matting out of a 4runner to properly cover the floor right to the back of the cab

- Got myself a brake master cyl out of a LN130 Toyota Surf turbo diesel

- Finished modifications to the firewall opening cover thingo where the steering column shaft goes though in order to clear the internal clutch master which I'm runing out of a VZN130 4Runner.

- Got some near new shocks out of another Hilux

- Got my very expensive gasket kit from Toyota (which I've been unable to fully install due to an impossibly tight harmonic balancer bolt)

- Rebuilt the shifter from the RZN149 W56 box


- Got the fuel lines from an RZN149 (suit EFI)

- Got a fuel tank out of an RZN149 (pictured here along side the standard RN85 tank). They are marginally longer and taller but otherwise mostly the same size and shape.

- Also cut the battery tray out of an RZN149 (because its on the opposite side), then cleaned the thing up and worked out that it was going to sit the battery too high

- Got the bits to convert the headlights to suit H4 bulbs

- Borrowed a fucked 4runner bar from work to see how much space it would give me for an intercooler - much more than a standard bar it would seem



And this is what seems to happen when you stop working on your project car for a while too


I've also been collecting SST's whenever I can find them


So that just about rounds up the past many months work, but I'm back into it now so hopefully things will take off again

What's a SST? Toyota factory tools?

[Nicko]

SST1 = Hammer

Nice build mate.

As a fellow Hilux owner, I highly endorse this product

[Golberg]

Yeah, it stands for Special Service Tool. You'll find them called for throughout any of the factory Toyota repair manuals.

[svenmate]

Definitely an interesting build. Doing good, mate. Will be awesome when running

Updates???

[Golberg]

Not really a whole lot to report really.

I've been busy wiring an adaptronic in a 4AGE AE71 along with rebuilding a T50 for my red 71.

Ah, the joys of multiple project cars

I did pick up another hilux though, 92 model, hit in the front hard. Just going to part it out I'm thinking
