unlucky

by **89.SVO** » December 10th, 2011, 11:10 pm

got motivated today and thought i'd clean the SVO. hasn't been done for 6 months. it sat outside at my old house. But has a garage now. So i was rinsing it off first up and the water wasn't draining out of the cowl. so i pulled the cover off and unbolted the wiper motor and got my hand in the drainage duct and was pulling out clumps of leaves etc out of it. but couldn't get any further. so i had to pull the guards off to get to the other side. i never realised how easy the front of a EA is to get off.

bar and headlights out

guard off

inner guard and insulation off

the channel all clean and free of leaves etc

Killer weight reduction

by **misk** » December 11th, 2011, 2:19 am

EA is just the same as EB/ED isn't it? Can't think of anything being different...

by **89.SVO** » December 11th, 2011, 9:21 am

i guess so. i was just surprised how easy it was

by **misk** » December 11th, 2011, 1:46 pm

lol fair enough.
yeah they come apart in a few minutes.
good for when you start modding shit for boost...

by **89.SVO** » December 11th, 2011, 3:20 pm

yeah i started plotting while i was in there

by **JUSTXR8** » December 11th, 2011, 6:36 pm

Buy my turbo setup :drinks2:

is this SVO on the road now?, i saw one in the getto last week around kangarooflat

by **89.SVO** » December 11th, 2011, 7:10 pm

sure isn't. the other one is a fake

by **sikwags_218** » December 11th, 2011, 9:01 pm

Looking good brenton. That insulation can cause rust in the front quater cause it traps water and shit lol

by **NUT347** » December 11th, 2011, 9:06 pm

Easier way to get the leaves out is a big air blower on a compressor.

My EA had close to a bin load in there lol.

by **89.SVO** » December 11th, 2011, 9:17 pm

i has a pressure washer. are i pulled the guard off i realised it was making it worse.

and Scotty i'm gunna put rust stopper stuff and body deadener behind it

by **Nikk O'lass** » December 18th, 2011, 3:48 pm

why not turbo the EB spac and keep the SVO as a resto job?

by **89.SVO** » December 18th, 2011, 3:53 pm

EB is on gas. I need a daily on gas. And the SVO 3.9 is gone. it was fucked. And it doesn't bother me. Not like SVO's are worth much anyway

by **89.SVO** » December 20th, 2011, 4:47 pm

cheers for the cleanup phantom moderator.

As i said. Time off work next week is solely for the SVO. Wanna get her on the road by AFD

by **Sunboost** » December 20th, 2011, 4:50 pm

Phantom moderator cleaned up useful information about SIDO numbers and spotting SVO authenticity. Retard.

by **89.SVO** » December 20th, 2011, 4:55 pm

it's all irrelevant anyway. just cluttered up the thread.

by **Sunboost** » December 20th, 2011, 5:18 pm

It's relevant, has info others may look for in the future, and you're the one that brought the stuff about the SIDO numbers up anyways. Thread's just 3 pages of boring shit now. It's not registered, and the last big update is about cleaning leaves out of the cowl.

by **89.SVO** » December 20th, 2011, 5:21 pm

it's a slow project. I do stuff as i have the cash. And shit weather at the other house and the car not being undercover screwed me around. But i only just moved and it's in a shed now. So i can have a red hot go at it

by **Nikk O'lass** » December 20th, 2011, 5:46 pm

Should be a good project...

...as long as you don't paint the garnish

But seriously, if Mick is keen to chat to you about SVO's, get some info so i can be used here. SFA about them besides the list of options.

by **89.SVO** » December 20th, 2011, 5:50 pm

if i'm up that way again i'll drop in

by **EFFalcon** » December 20th, 2011, 6:30 pm

and the story about Ford doing over SVO was interesting too!

by **Nikk O'lass** » December 20th, 2011, 6:50 pm

I would be good to know the exact truth...

As far as i know FoA evaluated both Mick and Brockies products in an effort to create a in house perfomance arm, but Tickford won out (Ford acuired Tickford when they bought Aston Martin in 1994) i can only assume because of there efforts with the RS200, RS500 and Tickford Capri.

Mick registed the SVO name in australia as Ford used the SVO name for its Hi-Po models. Dick Johnston also used the SVO name during this period on his XF turbo falcons, but he was ordered to stop as Mick owned it.

by **EFFalcon** » December 20th, 2011, 6:52 pm

It seems odd seeing photos of RS500's etc infront of a Tickford factory in the UK or where ever i've seen the photos

by **89.SVO** » December 20th, 2011, 7:28 pm

Mick told me himself what Ford did. i believe him. he was very sincere

by **LOW_XR** » December 21st, 2011, 6:10 pm

ive seen your eb in person and it looked quite clean, is this nicer than the eb? how long till you wana rego it?

by **89.SVO** » December 21st, 2011, 8:14 pm

it has a few dent. the joys of working at a dealership. we have pro dent removal guys in all the time. got quoted 200 for that. and it needs a good detail.

by **89.SVO** » December 29th, 2011, 6:47 pm

been working on the SVO this week as i have time off. front panels are off as i am cleaning leaves etc out. and while i'm in there i bought a new electric aerial because the old one failed.

by **89.SVO** » January 2nd, 2012, 9:28 pm

fitted the new electric aerial today

Body deadened inside the front guards

and put the front back on. just gotta get the aerial working. i'm thinking bad earth

by **sikwags_218** » January 3rd, 2012, 8:46 am

Looking good Brenton, keep up the good work. :good:

Cheers Scott :drinks2:

by **89.SVO** » January 6th, 2012, 8:23 pm

Getting closer to a roady. replaced high beam globes. picking up the rebuilt rear calipers tomorrow. removed the Watts link to replace the bushes tomorrow. Had spare upper and lower trailing arms that come off the EB at some point. so i had the lower polyurethane bushes at work. replaced them tonight. i'll get the upper bushes and replace them tomorrow. and i'll swap the arms over tomorrow

i also cleaned these up and bolted them in. i reckon they look sexy

by **NUT347** » January 6th, 2012, 9:02 pm

You got rid of the SVO seats?

by **89.SVO** » January 6th, 2012, 9:05 pm

seeings as SVO Recaros were an option this never had it. so i went the closest thing i guess

by **89.SVO** » January 7th, 2012, 11:09 am

i had a productive morning. picked up my rebuilt calipers. got upper trailing arm bushes and rear pads from Bursons. went into work and swapped tyres onto rims for my Valiant. replaced Watts link bushes and upper trailing arm bushes. then stopped passed Autobarn and got black paint for the arms and sand paper and extremely high temp paint for the extractors. it's getting there :grin:
