My 1985 Isuzu County

[LRO jr]

hi all

I have recently purchased myself another car - 1985 Isuzu County. It has the 4bd1 Isuzu motor in it and does have a turbo which is not fitted to it yet. Only a couple of things needed for roadworthy - brakes and windscreen. Dad says i also need to replace the clutch and its a good thing we already have a spare here. It blows alot of white smoke on start up and does so for a few minutes until its warmed up and then it turns to black smoke. The only rust that we could find was in the floor pans as shown in pics. Ill let the pics speak for themselves.

Go the '85 Counties! I think that's the only colour I haven't had. Maybe we should start a Brisbane 85 County Club.

hi dave s

thats a good idea. we should make it all countries cause my dad will feel left out due to the fact he has an 1987 county

Hmmmm. I dunno, those '87 Counties have mod cons like 5 speed gearboxes. Maybe we could let your dad in if he pulled out all the post 85 stuff and did a retro-fit. It shouldn't be too hard for him to find the bits :D

LRO and myself had the first meeting outside Supercheap Auto today :D:D Even had a gatecrasher in a 300tdi join in.

Beats work anyday ;)

Nice County mate. Looks the goods and should last you forever. At least you have the confidence in knowing you're driving a REAL fourby!

Well done Lad;)
Another young bloke in an 85 Isuzu County is great to see. Not just for the beardy types :p

P.S. While we're name-dropping, you and your father dropped by mine to take an LT95 north for another AULROian :cool:

[3.9County]

Nice County!

:)

[LRO jr]

hii all

yes i do think it will be great on the tracks and i do remember that mark, when we brought your LT95 to Brisbane and took to depot for you. i have just purchased at second hand brake booster and master cylinder, so i hope it will fix my problem and hoping to get this windscreen replaced in the next few weeks. then can start saving for rego and insurance.
