Copy pasted rant from my build thread on lowball club :P:

OK so I picked up my panels, and unfortunately, after getting home and checking them out, I'm not real happy :laugh:

The guard is GREAT. Really happy with how that turned out. Which is good, because once it is back on, the other two parts are easy to get on and off

The filler panel has a big run in the paint, and what looks like a chip/bubble where the grey is missing, but has been clear coated over :thumbsup:

The front bar is even worse. The vents have not been repainted, so must have been mounted AFTER he painted it (I told him to do it before as there is some paint chips in the vents) and have been attached dodgily with sikaflex. There are HUGE gaps at the top you can see the sikaflex through. There are a number of imperfections in the paint, and the black at the top is not 'shiny' like the rest of the car - its pretty much flat black.

So, pretty annoyed right now :laugh: . But I think the plan of attack will be to put it all back together, then drive it to him to point out the things I am not happy with and see what can be done. The reasons I want to put it back together first are:

1) To see if there are any other issues (ie guard not lining up right or something - not likely but worth checking)

2) It will be easier to show the difference in the black compared to the rest of the car.

I have fixed up all the surface rust in the engine bay with my custom 'engine bay grey' paint. This includes the bonnet hinges, inside corners of the bonnet, underneath the bonnet hinges, underneath the guards, etc. IT was all very light surface rust (sanded of with 800 grit) but now there is none :) . The only bit left to paint is the tops of the strut towers, which paintmaster dan is going to do for me tomorrow.

So hopefully that all goes well, and I will put it back together on the weekend, and go back to the paint shop with a please explain on Monday.

Just goes to show that just because a place is recommended to you as being good, doesn't mean they necessarily are.

      R34 power steering

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
