  1. I used to run a 140psi pressure switch on the old setup, fitted a 175psi cut off this time and it's given mad lift Just waiting on some 1/8npt push fittings for the back of the gauges so currently I don't know what's in the front bags but it's only for leak testing at the minute.
  2. Yeah original front and back on the bench seats. I did wonder about getting them repaired but I don't know if it would be possible, it's not ripped the stitching it's ripped the material where it's stitched so I don't think there would be my strength left in the seam. Carpet will be going in winter for a new smoke grey moulded piece. Headliner is ripped too so I'm chucking a new one in when I do the window seals.
  3. New airide control panel. Just need my fittings to turn up and were sorted
  4. All those leaves came off the top.of the aircon unit. I've not cleaned it since I bought It shamefully. It'll be having a new carpet, headliner and seat covers over winter. I originally was gonna go for a turquoise interior with painted dash, doors and matching carpet the full works but since driving it I love the minor wear on the door tops and dash. It's took 50+ years to get there so why spoil it now, it's not like it needs painting.
  5. Before.... After.. Removed the old air ride controls as I'm going to paddle valves, today I'm making a nice new gauge/switch plate that'll hopefully fit in with the dash. Removed the factory aircon unit as I needed somewhere to put the air ride controls that was more convenient, air con didn't work anyway as someone has removed the aircon compressor in it's lifetime. Hopefully make for a nice tidy install. Found loads of shitty wiring too that's been added along the way so after an hour it's back to more or less a standard loom behind the dash. I do have the glove box door, its just off to colourmatch for the new panel.
  6. Ha. Not even paid for my own wedding yet nevermind others!
  7. Just had a letter through the door from Jenny's brother and bride thanking me for Saturday and the band etc. I lived in hope I might be getting that mullah back f**k.
  8. Jenny's brothers wedding yesterday, got riggidy riggidy wrecked son. Feel horrendous. Woke up this morning to an empty wallet and just been told I paid for the band last night and told them it was a wedding gift. f**k..
  9. I've got 2 quater panel closers to fit by didn't wanna fit it all till I'd tested it for a few days.
  10. That's pretty tame for a 26 year old jap wagon Mike! Tanks held 175 psi for past 2hours so we're cooking in gas hopefully!
  11. All fittings and carpet coming tomorow, just need to weld some brackets on to hold the boards at the back end.
  12. 3phase mate, not compatible
  13. Air tank painted (Just realised it looks like a bloody Clarke air compressor tank ) Twin Viair 444c turned up today, ordered stainless pipe for the hardlines, all fittings and parts I'll need. I've ordered carpet for the boot build too. I can't decide wether to take the leap and just buy an Air lift V2 setup, but at the minute I think theres better things i could spend that money on.. Really looking forward to getting into this, shame I've got a wedding this weekend!
  14. Anyone else a bit disappointed with Rick and Morty s3??
  15. Hopefully getting the arches sorted on this old wagon early September which will be good. I was painting the boot out today but it's pissing it down so gave up on that one. Turns out it's not a wet weather car too. Literally spins up at every junction!
  16. Bare metal, wet on wet etch primer and high build, I'll work the arch tubs and further up tomorow then colour all being well.
  17. Why I love yank imports.. Other then the surface rust on the left I've got with a wire wheel and etch primed totally rock solid Just flagging back now with the DA then gonna put fresh colour on tomorow ready for the new air tank rebuild. I don't want a show stopping finish in there just nice and new fresh colour
  18. Yeah pretty much, stuff like airlift v2 kits have presents available so like 75psi frt/ 40 psi for cruising then 100 psi/60psi for manoeuvres. I drove home from work today at 30psi front and 10psi rear just for the lol, drove like a mattress but was unbelievably comfy.
  19. Straight pipe it. Job done. Dual Viair 444c compressors and a 5gal tank ordered ready for me to start my boot build. It's currently on some turd of a tyre inflater and a 2gal tank that wipes out after 1 lift. I don't want loads of switch time but it's be nice to have some backup. Got a boot plan sorted to allow some tool storage aswell as the air ride tucked away to try and keep it quiet too. Hoping to fit digital management later on too, switches are simple but it's a twat to get them balanced.
  20. I'd leave well alone, that's poor paintwork so to repair will be full panel paint really. And that AE86
  21. Thread bump of epic proportions and it's seller shit What's the deal with wallpapers now anyway?? Would it be your phone wall paper??
  22. Yeah if agree, it's for the recovery to pay unless you've signed a responsibility waiver.
  23. Underground carpark + v8 + stainless headers and side pipes = savage noise
  24. Mixin' it up. Someone painted the grey center a pile of turd so I'm gonna swap it up.
