Thread: looking at buying 84mod with 3.9 what to look for

Hi
The motor is retro-fitted, no doubt.
The box most likely a LT77 and car comes standard with 10 spline.
It sounds cheap, thats the way i like to buy.
The whine is kind of usual and depends on how loud.
If you buy cheap, you can spend money on repairs or acc.

The box is a little fragile and you must be careful on how much you load it up.

Best of luck.

Check the electrics, the few that it has anyway.

I spoke to my mechanic , he thinks it might be the other gear box R388? Its nothing special but it saves getting the D2 getting trashed and save it for touring.Oh and its got a snorkel for it as well , just need to fit it .

simple to tell. lt77 selects reverse forwards, doglegged to left of first. i believe r380 has reverse selected rearwards directly behind 5th.

Yeah its the R380 , pick it up Tuesday,dam 37 deg in melb hope she dosent overheat!!!

Nice Find for price with 90s running gear The R380 can sing a bit in 5th. Change the oil and run a magnet to make sure not making metal.
Has it got a PH 2 interior? Seat belts in B pillars, fuse panel inside on lower left dash etc
