Is this thing worth it ?

[400HPONGAS]

I see this RRC on Fleabay , I was thinking that it had a ****load of good stuff on it (I hope its good) , would it be really worth the asking price of nearly $17000 ?

Id still heave the motor and put one of my Holden Stroker engines in .

Seems a bit steep to me. Also make sure you check with DPI - you may need to get everything re engineered once you get it over here.

[andrew e]

no.

[long stroke]

Nope. thats the BBM rangie, they are asking way to much for it.

[V8Ian]

Tell him he's dreaming.

[big guy]

Sure he spend some $$ but who is he kidding?

If you want to do your holden conversion, get a straight car and do mods yourself as by sounds of it, you really do know how.

You can get a good one for 5-8k and than spend your money on conversion.

I did have a holden conversion 82 RRC 2 door.
Never really had it sorted.
Had no faith in taking out bush or even long trips.

Good luck all the same though.

Maybe a few K over the top but its a very nice rangie non the less, what else can you buy that would be that capable for the price- 12-13K would make it a good buy IMHO.

Looks good, but we bought a nice looking 1990 that had a few issues for $1,500. You can get a real lot of work done to it for that extra $15000--

yeah, its a bit steep, i agree, 12k or there about would make it a good buy. Its got alot of extras but by the sounds of it the motor is a bit tired.

The 60 diffs are to narrow for a rangie. Has it got spacers behind those rims?;)

Wnat I would like to know is exactly howmuch of the Diff is "60" series , does that mean you get the dreadful turning circle of the toyota or has he grafted on the RRC spin housing CVJ's etc ,seems not as he is talking Toyota stud patterns .

If either of you had bothered to look at the OL link I posted...




What is the width of the 60 lc diffs compared to rangie diffs ?

Sorry for the delay guys! The LC diffs are in fact NARROWER than the LR ones! That shocked me a bit! I am running 1.5in wheel spacers to make up for it and am now a bit wider than std. I do not have any exact measurements handy to post up though.
So whats left to do?
Hook up the lockers.
Make up a HD Tie Rod
Fab up some sliders
Keep playing with coil rates.
Make up some rear dislocation cones
That should just about get her done I reckon.

Pretty schmick car,
Is a bit pricey though.
Trouble is, when you buy a car thats been done up to a T like that, you dont get to do it yourself so you dont really have the same satisfaction, or feel and understanding of the car, as you would if you did it yourself.

Still pretty nice Rangie. Maybe get the specs, and follow the build thread, and see how you could do it better

what about this one since we are talking about over priced vehicles. He says its a fully restored 64 model, yet the title says 92 model. It looks like an awsome truck, he has done a great job on it, but $40000?
