I will most likely dig up another used unit and give a good clean/refurb.
not sure on a prject yet. would love a shorty pajero.
Progress for today:
Was a good day, mitre 10 had a sale, so I got a makita 5" grinder for 85 bucks and a work light for 25 bucks. win win in my books, now I jsut need that welder.
but I have sourced a welder,
The welder I am sourcing is a tig, good for aluminum welding which was my main concern. if it can do ally, it can do almsot every other metal. and it has high freq. start so no touch start.

Toys I bought today:
Now onto the pajero work, I was able to drop the transmission today, it was still in good shape, this will make it a lot easier to pull the engine now. which is win win in my books.
it was dirty as hell though. although the oil cameout half *** clean which is good. no internal damage then. but since its a 4 speed it will be put on the back burner as a spare if ever needed again. I now have 3 transmissions sitting in my garage.. ugghhhh they multiply somehow..
And of course that means that all the drive shafts had to be dropped, the front drive shaft needs 1 uni joint replaced. but its not tobad, but hey, its out and easy to fix so why not. I am noticing that I will be doing a lot of clean up underneath the rig. mainly with a wire wheel so I can repaint
Starter is out: this needs a clean for the contacts. otherwise its all good to go still woohoo!!! something thats not ****ed!!
How am I staying organized? a big box and everything pulled off is placed in zip lock baggies and lables. this will make re assembly much much easier. Thanks to James for the idea.
What are peoples thought on what to use for undercoating a 4wd? anyone using bedliner? or jsut thick paint? I see a lot of gravel roads and sand. its takes paint off in no time flat
