Wrecked D2

**CraigE** · 18th January 2010, 10:44 PM

Hi all, Dont frequent this part of the site often, but I picked up a wrecked D2 V8 today 8/2001 build I think. It suffered a light roll so has a bit of panel damage, roof, front guards, drivers door, drivers side rear quarter, d pillars, rear step, rear drivers quarter glass, alpine window glass drivers side, drivers side glass, windscreen, headlights and indicator/tail assemblies as well as bull bar U/S. Eveything else is OK.
Not sure what I am going to do with it at present, will see if it runs OK when I get the keys. Everything else is there including SRS airbags which did not deploy??

Cheers
CraigE

I agree.A ute conversion would be the go.

First up, donate the bullbar to the hastykiwi protection fund.

Otherwise, as the others have said chop it and have some fun.

cheers

Yep, like Nick said and if the motor's ok, I'll give you a couple of hundred for it to solve the GF's 'slipped liner' issue, and you can stick a nice LS1/2/3

in it for the comp work

Oh and an indicator stalk too please, lolol!
Cheers

LOL thats because you are secretly a cruiser/patrol driver

Although I do like the D2 ute conversions, there have been some really good ones on here.

Thanks Guys,
A lot of ideas swimming in my head from a Ute to twin cab ute extended chassis 6 wheeler projects through to 4wd beach buggy or maybe even a car for the kids to learn to drive in. Have to wait until I get home and start pulling down to see what is salvageable and what is not. Even considering just repanelling it and keeping as a second 4x4

As I currentlly work away for 9 days at a time it may take a bit before any decisions are made. I am led to believe it is a runner. Everything is all intact, no damage to engine (apart from a possible engine mount rubber), drive train, radiator etc coolant and oils all still at full levels. It landed back on its wheels. Chassis is straight hence why I am considering projects rather than just pulling it apart.
Will keep all informed.
