We begin repair and restoration - logbook Toyota Land Cruiser 1984
First came up with a name for the car. Tom Sawyer. An inventor and adventurer, a favorite character from childhood. Abbreviated as Toms or Thomas. Hope it survives. I'm testing. Let's see.
So, today I gave Thomas for running gear diagnostics. Kick certainly not complete, but there is something to repair. Bridges, brakes, hydraulic booster, suspension are all subject to revision, cleaning or replacement.
Began to look for sites where to order spare parts.
I have not decided yet, but I really want to buy a ready-made set for a light 40-ki lift right away. For example, as in the photo.
It remains to decide whether I want to stay on the springs, or change to springs, at least the front end. There are already a lot of foreign forties, coolly made on springs. People go, and nothing.
Picked up some Sparco sports seats for Thomas today. Hope he likes the new one. When I put it on, it will be like in the photo.
The main thing is to start! Everything will be as it should.
P / S by the way, the name can be entered in the profile of the car
Congratulations on your purchase of AutoLegend!
Buckets will look concise.
Many adventures to TomSawyer and his Master!
Most importantly, don't rush. Set a goal for yourself, sleep with this thought, and if the goal does not change, start doing it! Try to learn from the mistakes of others ;)
Still, there is more comfort on the springs. Especially on the front end. without them on the springs is almost impossible. Yes, also, the spring suspension is more interesting in terms of lift and weighs much less.
So people, the car needs to be completed, but I think the work here is still limited =)
but explain to me a teapot - what is the difference between springs and springs. When we drove through the mountains in UAZs, the people categorically did not want to install springs, and everyone remained on springs - but I didn’t remember why. And in general, in a nutshell, what is the difference?
