G'day everyone,
Thought it about time I posted some pics of my L series - Ruby Scoo.
I got her about 5 years ago now, $500 - from good ol' Yakandandah. It had a shot engine so I converted it to MPFI still with the EA82 - hadn't found any forums at this stage.
Finally got her going, had a cam shaft 180 degrees out so it only ever ran on one side of the engine... Fun fun.
All sorted, I rebuild another MPFI engine and had it in the car Easter 2007, by mid December 2007 we'd cooked that engine due to a dud radiator on our way home from perth. Got towed from Tinanara, South Oz to Central Vic - RACV total care is sooo worth it!!!
So, some pics:
^ Later down the track, roo bar added, the alloy tyres (had a set of Marquois alloys 14 inch) worn out, on a uni student's budget I got these sunnies (set of 5) with good tyres HEAPS cheaper than 2 new tyres!
^ The most lift my L has seen so far, 3 inch lift is coming, just need some time. This image was taken on a track out at Mt Sugarloaf, near Axedale, Victoria.
^ Hanging out with mates last year on a 4wd outing in the Lake Eppalock area
^ Road side repairs after installing solid lifters - not a good idea on an MPFI. This was on our way to Perth, no mobile reception and since the advent of movies like Woof Creek no one wants to stop and give you a hand... 12hrs after pulling over and sleeping between repairing we were on the road again.
^ At the Perth End of Year BBQ, these are half the subaru's that made the event, was an awesome day and trip overall!
^ Mt Hotham 30JUN08
^ 4wd'n at Spring Gully, Benders, Vic, a few weeks back
^ And the last 4wd outing to the Cobaw Forest, Macedon Ranges, Victoria. Can't wait for the next one!
Future plans - 3 inch lift with 27 inch tyres, EJ20, AWD L box with lockable centre diff, rear disc brakes, electric windows/mirrors, remote central locking... Hopefully will all be in within the next year.
Cheers
Bennie
