Hey RoverLord,
I just bought a TD5 exhaust gasket kit from you today! (I am presuming you are the same Roverlord as RoverlordOffroadSpares on eBay).
Already shipped, I see. That was quick.
I've had a few PMs about more info on the vehicle. So I might as well detail them here once!
She is a:
- 2001 TD5 Extra cab
- 135,000 genuine Kms (spent the last 6 or 7 years in my farm shed - run once a month around the farm)
- Long range 127L fuel tank
- Wolf Military diff and laminated rear axle. Special fit for Telstra as they were breaking the standard rear diffs.
- Snorkel
- Twin battery system
- Bull bar + 9,000Lb Warn winch & IPF Spotties
- Wolf rims
- Michelin XZL tyres
- New front/passenger seats
- HD rock sliders
Bad points are:
- Passenger door lock missing the black button to lock/unlock
- Needs a new exhaust gasket (ordered from Roverlord) as it has a 'squeal' under load at 2000RPM
- Needs a good cut and polish, after being stored in a shed for so long
Similar to the Mulgo conversion. Do you have an engineering certificate? Bob
Don't turn this into a For Sale thread.
Yeah - I am wary of that. It's gone off track a little.
My question is really, what is the best way to sell it:
- As is, to an enthusiast, with the roof attached and a whole lot of parts in a box in the back
- Remove the lift up roof, put on a new ceiling, and sell as is with a box of parts in the back (slightly bigger audience)
- Remove lift up roof, put on a new ceiling and spray the whole lot white, fix the exhaust gasket, cut and polish, etc (biggest audience).
Possibly to meet the requirements of the Road Transport [vehicle registration ]regulation 2007. If a major manufacturer has to comply, surely the home builder does too. I think you have done a great job, hope it goes to a good home, Bob
Mulgo Expedition Vehicles ? Mulgo Pop Top for Land Rover Defender
You mongrel Spudboy. I want, I want, I want to finish it. In the last few months I've bought a new car, a Goldwing and doing a kitchen reno. I'm not game to mention it, even in jest. :(:bat:
Bob, Spud's shouldn't need certification as it's just a bolt on like a ute body. Mulgo are cutting the structure and have to certify that the integrity of the structure hasn't been comprimised.
