Thread: New Arrival with some Confusion

Hey Tony (or others for that matter).....anyone looking to import anything from the UK ?

i will be over there at the end of the yr and will be coming back in augus next year im thinking i will get my gauges and stuff then its light and way cheaper.

that is a beauty!

the 80" just have that great look, and I actually agree with the idea
of "leave it as it looks" but if you like it painted so be it! Thats cool too!


whilst everyone is offering bits...

I'll throw in my list...

1) all the bits needed to build an 80"

2) all the bits for a gunbuggy...

3) ambrose/matilda...etc etc


I'm not asking too much am I???

Sounds like a trip to Castle Hill in September might be a little risky considering evryone is chasing same items

besides the obvious ones once you get into it let me know what things you will need or your unsure about if you need any help with diffs im pretty good now i have done a few of them.

Chgeers Tony thanks for that....did a little more today - radiator needs a good going over, bulkhead off (again no rust that I can see - think it has spent plenty of time way out west)

To be honest I have no idea if I am going to go that far with dismantling the diffs ? Although I do have that spare I could work on later...

I definitely want to tidy up the chassis = repaint or galvanise and repair some minor dings in it. And of course the rest of the bodywork to some extent

was going to take the rolling chassis to some form of jetwash place, degrease and blast the eng/gbox and then bring home for final dismantling of motor etc from chassis before getting that sorted.

All brake lines are disconnected and looks like at some point someone had put the axles under the springs to get some more height I guess ! I might even set it all up again without doing any major work on motor/gbox as it was running and driving beforehand....steering needs some attention
