Montero Update: Broken?! | Project "Vader's Chariot" 3rd Gen Pajero

Been a minute since the last update on the Montero modifications. Good stuff: entire interior been noise dampened with Kilmat, shocks and springs get installed upfront as well as some mudflaps (plus wheel bearings & front passenger axle). Bad news: been having a hard time on the start up, some kind of rough shifts in trans from 1st to 2nd gear, humming from the front passenger, heater core decided to leak a bunch of coolant into driver foot well as well as couple small leaks.

Project vehicles are new to me & I'm not all that mechanically savvy so here I vent and complain a bit. Though at the end we have some cool pics from the photoshoot set up by Motegi Wheels.

Fingers crossed it'll all be good to go soon-ish.
