First day off in a while.I changed the plugs and wires today and the engine is purring.I also removed the headliner because of a massive water leak at the rear sunroof.Got that fixed but not sure if I will paint of re cover the liner.Did a fluid change for the transfer case and front diff.Next up is terrafirm shocks and rebuilding rear sway arm.

 

Today I changed the rear shocks(which wear original) and rebuilt the rear sway bar with all new hardware.The back sits about two inches higher now and handles so much better.Will
try for the front shocks tomorrow.

 

Today I changed the front shocks,Fuel filter,upper radiator hoses and thermostat.Getting the air out of the system was a pita but it seems to run at about 185.Next on the list is the flex coupling,front stabilizer and shock.

 

Scope, great work. Textbook Disco rehab. Great to read.

 

Thanks,I have been wanting a project vehicle for some time and wow did I get the right one!It feels good to save this one from the scrap yard.Perhaps I have been watching too much wheeler dealers.

 

Today I cleaned the throttle body and discovered a gunked up vacuum line on the right
side of the plenum.I also changed out the original broken radio antenna.There is a great
instructional page on AB for this as it is much harder than I expected.

 

I will be waiting for tax returns for the next round of parts.While driving home today I heard a loud bang from the drivers side and turned to watch my window slowly drop down. I removed the regulator and found that three spot welds failed. Got the window
taped up before the rain hits and will weld the regulator on my lunch hour tomorrow.You gotta love these disco's.

 

I can vouch for this. I drove my old Cressida after a year of driving another car and when I hit the brakes I nearly went through the windshield

 

Today I put in a new fuel pump.Seems to have a little more pep.I also put in a new regulator.Tomorrow is breaks and rotors all the way around and new o2 sensors and
new shock for steering dampner.If there is time I will install a new driveshaft coupling.

 

Replaced the flex coupler.THe original had a few cracks.Installed new vinyl on the rear door panel and installed front stabilizer shock. Too cold to anything else.Next is the o2 sensors and brakes,pads,rotors, and bearings all the way around.
