Andy had a lot of the prep work done before I arrived ie had the lower ball joints already installed in spindles and the sway bar fitted up and ready for installation. And as usual all spray painted so all looks like new. Really happy with the results.

I had a spare rear kick panel from a T3 so I cut it down for my bay. Now I have a bit more storage space where stuff keeps falling out.
Needs to be shortened in width and height a bit and you need to relocate the clips as T3’s have 2 supports and bays 3 That was a pain as the fasteners are more of a rivet rather than a pop rivet. I found some low dome hex bolts as you need to not encroach on the clamp / leg space There is a bit of a cut out on the far side as that is from the air cond pipes. “One day” I will do something.

Replaced the two cast aluminium pole hinges on the rear awning.
Same issue as the side awning….hinges need to flex to allow slope in the awning sail. The stock aluminium castings are rigid and do not flex. Bought a pair of Darche Super Flex Hinges and swapped the aluminium ones out…. Took all of 10 minutes all up and the awning can now be pitched at as steep an angle as I wish, without stressing the main hinge point. Highly recommend this modification, the hinges are available from a number of places but I used Snowys Outdoors: https://www.snowys.com.au/search?w=darch...inge%202pk Great price, great service.

100 km loop with a nice coffee stop at Healesville. Real Sunday drivers.
