How is the car coming along, any problems with it?

See'ya:burnout:

Nahh not up and runnig yet. Was gonna try and get it up and runnig last nite but mum cranked out the food and the rellies came round and before u know it im stuffed to the gills and half pissed. not really in the mood :P

I think there are some bigger probs but we will see how it goes with fresh plugs and oil first. The oil was synthetic but was black as and gritty too. i dont think its been changed in 15 odd thousand k. Plus on of the sparks was soild and the rest were getting close. the engine does have 210k on it might need some new gaskets too.

U should see the bruise i got from getting that oil filter off. Had to puit my feet on the wall and basically doa superman accross the engine bay to get at it. The block was pushing into my shoulder and left a nice mark.

EW engine with the oil filter on teh firewall side of the block

    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
