'87 Hilux DC Re-build
After the introductions viewtopic.php?f=137&t=39895&p=471501#p471293 I think it is time to start the build thread as things are going fast on some days
Once done this Hilus will be my daily ride so it needs to be reliable. At this stage i am thinking seriously about fitting a 1UZ but my mind is still investigating and pondering the thought and work involved.
I bought the vehicle knowing that the gearbox is buggered and that the engine may be blown, confirmed once I got it started at the yard
This bakkie looks good from far but far from good, as stated before "a good base to work from".

It had one in, not impressed with the conversion work but I believe the WL is not too bad. I need more power however. The one I stripped out has compression comming out the wrong holes

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Can i suggest that if you're looking for a lexus v8, to go for the vvti with original ECU to keep things reliable and running as they should, also large gains can be had over the non vvti v8 with fuel economy. Google v8 solid, or lextreme.co.za, you can pick up a unit complete with gearbox controller and all the other stuff, lambda sensors, air flow sensor and all the wiring in a nice neat bundle to a water proof fusebox for R18500. It also comes with obd 2 plugs and a flash diagnostic for on the go info.
With each replacement of parts, a car slowly becomes Chinese.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
The problem.......
Where the problem started, rust patch was cut and replaced, so no more water into cab
Closing the inspection hole back up.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Marius, consider enlarging that drainage hole. Also maybe remove the bottom lip. If you can stop leaves and all manner of rubbish collecting in there and having the water drain completely you will never have rust issues again in that area.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
I have been checking it from all angles there, metal fatigue is part of the problem and is caused by that drain hole not supporting the motion coming from the front cab mounting. Increasing the hole size will increase the flexing in that part. The way we have smoothed it out will ensure no water remains standing there. We also filled all the crevices and cracks with sikaflex. I was thinking about fitting a gause below the vent grid to prevent leaves from falling in. Good suggestion, thanks

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Nice work there!
The gauze is a good idea, some vehicle have it as standard and it certainly does help, but personally I think that the finer dirt that gets in there is just as much to blame if it's allowed to accumulate - it retains moisture. Ideally there should be no grooves, hollows / depressions, cracks or crevices where it can begin to accumulate.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Work comes first so progress accordingly
The bottom of the cab is done now, will focus on some surface rust on the chassis.
Then the cab will go back to the chassis. Still have to go buy a Lexus.
What colour to paint this little beasty, white it will not be.

Reinhart, will be using the original one intended for the engine, OEM!
I don't want to spend the next three years tuning, and tuning and tuning.................
Plug and play as far as possible. Even going to get the OEM Shifter.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Progress is slow but the chassis is ready.
Will be fitting 1UZ vvti with auto box
Going to use OEM shifter so that ALL the electronics will be OEM.
Adaptor for 1UZ Autobox to Hilux T/box is being manufactured( Two week lead time)
When all the goodies are ready I will go collect in PTA.
All paint has arrived but still busy preparing the body
Chassis completed.
The paint is amazing, depending on the angle to the sun it changes colour.

Ek mik in dieselfde rigting vir onder die bonnet. Dit moet lyk asof hy so uit die fabriek kom.
1UZ & 3UZ is identies dieselfde, wat het jy gebruik vir engine mountings as ek mag vra, n prentjie sal duisend woorde spreek
Waar kom daai expansion tenkie vandaan?

Mofasa, My advantage is in the Zero amounts! I have the labour of a panel beater, spray painter, boilermaker, turner and mechanics of my choice available.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Scrap yard in Nelspruit, Izuco, on the Barberton road, have a friend that lives closeby and fetched me one.
I will ask and see if they can find another one.

Re: '87 Hilux DC Re-build
Some progress pics
Cab prepared, ready for painting, just got to hang the doors but need to rebuild the driver door's hinges first
Some body putty on the load body, I think the PO got putty for Xmas!!
Luckily I have a Panel beater and not a new part fitter
Load bin, we removed the panels so they can be repaired properly
Crazy body putty!
Putty removed
Rubberizing hiding some rust
Check the thickness
