Thread: Bundalenes Daughters 130 repair job

Looks brilliant. Love the detail around the area below the tray.

Erich, Andrew, in keeping with the white theme why not fit Puma front indicators and side lamps (both are clear lens, orange bulb). The orange bulbs are readily available (Tojo's use them too).

I did try and get some, but karcraft didnt stock them yet. I should have another try, as they will suit the car well.


19 days to go, and theres a heck of alot of work to do....... but its getting there.

Did you get the wing top vents off Karcraft too? I've been after some but the are sooooo expensive even in the UK

The lights are the same lens as the park lights it's only the bulb holder that is different as the orange bulbs are stepped bayonet. That doesn't help for the side lamps though.

Are you putting an over sized intercooler in it for them? Even without rechipping this will make a difference to the performance up here in the heat.

Looking good I'm going to have to keep an eye out for when they drive it into Town. Though with that sound system I may just hear it coming even if I'm driving the Tdi.

Look forward to having a beer when you guys get here.

I wish i had more time. I would love to fit a VG30 nissan turbo aswell....
I hope i get enough time for the 3 inch exhust and a few other finishing touches, but there is so much work left.....

It will be re-chipped. We have scourced a flashable ECU (the origional 2001 one wasnt ).

Atleast it is all starting to come together. Tuesday with any luck we will go over the weighbridge, then the suspension will be ordered to suit.

No they came from a friend who imported them from the UK. They are not called LRX anymore, they are called KBX

Very impressive.

John the vehicle will appreciate it! It really is an understatement but vehicles up here get a real pounding even in what would be considered general use.

The first town this vehicle will see is 200km by dirt. Going the other way to Katherine is 500km of dirt before the black stuff so believe me a couple of wise men have put their heads and hands together for this one.

It's coming along very well! Great job! Has been a great build up to follow - I've learnt a bit...looking forward (as I'm sure you are ) to seeing it finished.
