bringing the nav back to life

[navagator]

ok so the ute has been out of action for about 18 months now after doing the third turbo and having the engine go with it.
ive managed to find a doner ute for three grand, which i thought was good concidering i couldnt find an engine under five. the ute i got has been written of but engine is still good so thats a bonus. since mine has been of the road the road ive sold the tray so thats lined me upto be able to build my own. ive got a three inch dump pipe ready to go on as well. so will keep posted on my progress and will put photos up as soon as i can figure out how to on my phone

yep, they are working. sounds like it will be a good build up, are you going to put an intercooler on this one to stop the turbo taking the motor with it if it goes again?

I was wondering what happened to you.

Not good to hear about the motor, good luck with the revival.

Was a busy weekend last weekend got both engines out and the new one back in and running. It ended up being a bigger job then expected. Had to drop the fronts diffs out in order for tge engine to come out (was a pain in the arse). Now just got some small shit to do then i can start making my tray.
Put those 305/75/16 tyres on looks, fat but will scrub way to much so just gunn go dwn to 285's with 2" cab lift. Will put more pics up
