Today I was able to get the Trover running on 8 cylinders! I fixed the wiring going to the coil pack then I was able to vacuum bleed the coolant system and checked temps. The Trover stayed at 176-180 the entire time but now i see the O2 sensors are running abit rich. I removed the front skid plate for the eventual oil change along with the front sway bar since this will be a trail toy. I was able to get the AC recharged along with cleaning out the blower fan before calling it a day.

I am hoping to tackle the ABS pump wiring that was chewed off tomorrow along with a good car wash and some sanding on the rusted bed.

:disco:

On the road again!! ABS wiring shouldn't be to bad. Just cut & splice that puppy.

Any full pics from either side?

as soon as i am done wrapping up with a few things ill be able to take it out and take more pictures.

Yesterday was a huge day! I was able to remove a good portion of the rust in order to get the process started on painting the bed, then i was able to get the rear tail light wiring done. here are

Painted the Trover tan along with getting the bed coated with the spray on bed liner. I like the results but I bet they would have been better had the wind not picked up when I started.https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...7ca6e67633.jpg

I would have put the tail lights back in their factory spot.


Nice project however. Cool!

Updates?!

The Trover is getting alot of maintenance done to get it up to speed for the HCRR event.

Hoping to take better pictures of it
