Re: 1992 Typhoon 0539 rebuild
The shocks are pretty much brand new - only about 300 miles since installation so I'm keeping those.
Self - levelling - no worries, don't plan on using it!
As for the cladding, it is stock. I know this because of how easily it fell apart when the guy was working on it :rofl:
No caravans for this puppy

yes - bilsteins I think. They are the least of my worries - now I have to figure out how to lower the rear - blocks or springs? Then centring the wheel in the arch - did you do your Ty Rene? What did you use?

Re: 1992 Typhoon 0539 rebuild
Springs are what I am going to do - I just need the right part numbers and where to get them from. I also want to make sure that the truck can still carry 4 in the back - looks like I am going with the Bell Tech drops but I can't work out if I want 2" or 3" in the back. Hmmmmm.
Having searched and found this: belltechlowering springs I am wondering if perhaps the blocks would be good until there is a ladder kit/ rear coilover setup. Seems a shame to waste money on the springs if people aren't happy and it's only aesthetic initially.
lowering shims
The black undercoat is something I have been thinking as well.....
Thanks for the suggestions and comments guys!

Exciting.
Will it be ready to run or do you still have some work to do on it?

engine, turbo, trans, shocks, fuel pump, zq8, alky, injectors, ac, radiator, ECM (Code 59)....you name it, it needs doing!!
I have all the parts though so can't imagine there will be any problems :rofl:

Well in the words of warmpancakes, the progress ball is really gathering some pace.
To recap, I haven't been able to work on the truck for 2 years as it was dismantled and then in the body shop this past year.
I had it delivered 2 days after my 30th birthday and the 3 days prior to Christmas I have been trying to get the garage sorted. I had a whole 20ft shipping container to fill with my parents' junk before I could even get the car in the garage. Then I needed to wire up the lighting so I can see what I am doing. I got tthere in the end!
I managed to start work on the truck today and it has gone really well....
Got it on the axle stands (where all Tys belong right? :rotf
Today I dropped the fuel tank and replaced the old sender unit and also installed my Walbro - wasn't as big a deal as people made out. I have the racetronix kit as well..
It helps that the underside is immaculate - the only dirt on the nuts was the anti seize compound - talk about making life easy...
I also changed the old hinges on the rear window, a minor but essential cosmetic job.
I mocked up the 4L80E adapter plate and prepped that for getting assembled onto the transfer case. The trans output shaft was 5/8" as it should be and it all seemed to be pretty good..
And I got the trans in the truck - lol - need somewhere to kep it and the garage isn't that big...
We have to wait for the garbage men to start work again so I can slear out a lot of junk and take some pics from the front - it was detailed the other day and man this truck looks good now.
Tomorrow I am assembling the heads, lifters, push rods and prepping the lower manifold and painting it.
The great thing is that I have so much stuff to do that if I hit a snag I can continue working and do other stuff so I am not wasting my time!
Merry Christmas everyone!!:cmas:
