do it yourself maintenance

This week I started doing my up pipes. It turned into up pipes, glow plugs, turbo and pedastool o-rings, and swaybar bushings, new link arms to go with that. After a few glitches it is all back together and no leaks. Took about 12hrs over a week of getting to it when I could or had parts to continue on. First time getting this envolved on my own with my engine. But with all the guideance on this sight anyone who has mechanical ability can do these things. This sight rocks.

Well done Terry. Its a great feeling when you tackle such a job like that and come out on top.
I have a heap of parts coming from Clay including uppies and cant wait to have a go. Like you said I wouldnt even consider it before I found this site. The support from here is second to none

If you run into any problems let me know. The job is still fresh in my mind so I may be able to give guidance if needed. Good luck.
