Thread: Mick's 101 Projects

Mum has named 29-417."That green thing".
It took her a week to acknowledge it's existance.
Not a popular purchase amongst the family members.
I wonder what will happen when they find out I have two?

I'm hoping to find out their names. I'm told they all had one. The Aussie one's that is.

i like LES be brave

There is a similarity with the "roof lines".

Except there is an Isuzu 110 out there called "Les" that was used on the "Bush Tucker Man" series.

If you removed to winch, in theory you could put a tank in with virtually no modification to the outriggers or chassis - fuel filler in the body might be an issue though.

The outriggers are slightly different. The right hand side front outrigger has a large enough hole for the fuel filler to pass through the top and out the side. Looking at the parts manual, the left hand side does not allow for this. Regarding the winch, I was under the impression the winch was tied into the outriggers, however, I looked at the parts manual and its only a pulley situated on the front outrigger which I could easily fabricate a mount for.

So... Mick if you want to dispose of a winch in the future give me a shout

Huh! 2! Not happy Jan!! Les works for me too!!!

I may be on to one for you.
What body parts have you got to trade?
I shall encourage the potential vendor to contact you.

Thanks for keeping an eye out Mick.

All my body parts are a bit battered after rugby yesterday, don't know how much they'll be worth now In terms of 101 body parts I pretty much only have enough to rebuild mine.

I was watching the post on the 101 forum about cost of a winch setup and I cant afford the market rate atm (just paid for most of my parts through AJ) and without any parts to trade I'm a little bit stuck. I didn't think they would fetch that much of a premium to be honest.

I have the Nokken winch and it is great but if I did not have one and was not too worried about authenticity I would just bung in an electric winch. A lot more flexible as you don't need to have the engine running and it can be mounted behind the front bumper out of sight.
