Flashback Friday ✨
This week we are jumping back to early 2023 when Dean brought in his 1UZ powered Hilux mini truck build for some maintenance and repairs.
Shortly after purchasing the V8 Hilux Dean ran into some reliability issues with the car not running or driving well mostly due to some very poor wiring in regard to the engine conversion.
We were shocked to discover that all wires had just been twisted and taped together without a drop of solder to be seen anywhere 🤯
Below is a list of just some of the work we carried out:
* New timing belt kit + seals & water pump
* Re-wired the airbag suspension
* Full major service replacing all fluids & filters
* New spark plugs & leads
* Upgraded battery & charging cables
* General engine bay tidy up
* Conversion wiring repairs carried out on numerous circuits including the fuel pump, ignition switch, thermo fans, starter motor, ECU, coils, as well as all exterior lighting circuits needing attention
A quick glimpse of old wiring can be seen in the last picture
