Sitec's 101..

[Sitec]

Well, finally after the driver got lost in Canberra (twice) because he was new..., the haulage truck caught fire in the Adelaide Hills and took the first car of the load out (supposedly), and then it spent 3 days in a lockup in Adelaide because they were too busy to get it delivered... rah rah rah, a week later its arrived!!! I have a 101 @ home, and here it is!!

And here's the door logo. More to follow at the weekend when we get into pulling wheels off, checking brakes, lights etc, rectifying the leaking fuel tank, and generally getting it ready for attempt 1 at Regency Park!!!!

From the right.. After the first mad dash up the dirt road but before the tank decided it was a shower head!!!

[The ho har's]

hi sitec
very nice 101 I am sure you have great adventures look forward to see how you put your personal flair to it have you decided on name yet
cheers cooee

[amazing]

looking good.

no spare wheel tho??

tyres look very evenly worn. would guess they have swapped out at some point..rears last forever fronts not so much.

fuel lock looks missing too. mine at some stage had an extra flap hinged at the top over fuel filler with hasp at bottom.

have fun with the work.
mine proved 100%reliable over 8 years ( after initial fixing)

Congrats Simon. Now the work begins.

MudSkull, How is yours getting on? Got it all sorted for camping yet?

Congrats Simon,

Truck's looking good... Except for that patch of paint peeling off the front - Due to excessive heat, no doubt!

Reckon it might need a new tilt too with all that smoke exposure?

[Sitec]

Yeah, the heat exposure was sooo bad I had to get a new tilt! Amazing, good spot re fuel lock.. Yup, missing in action. Spare is in the workshop along with another spare.. They are lent against the 6 XZL'S that'll b going on the rims next week. Have a fume curtain and a NATO hitch in there too along with most of the original engine. All original chassis plates are there so might have to do some tracking on the original MOD rego number! Oh, and re his name Cooee, yup that was decided once the deal was done! With his past involvement with the Irish Rangers, and with Mick Marsh's assistance at collecting me from the airport there could only be one name.... Mick!!
The first big mod will be the fitment of the 'borrowed' 3.9 if that offer is still there... as the diesel departed the UK on the 22nd so I won't see that for 10+ weeks. First trip is in oct so have a bit to do!!
