yes and no, I 'm hoping it'd be smooth sailing from here , but I doubt it , there are heaps of stuff to sort out yet , been too long since I had it apart

You reckon you could spare a weekend...?

how's your Rangie project going ?

And love it Well it can chirp the fronts with 235/75s on
Don't worry... I still have a spot for the rangie. The shead atm
Your right though

I'd still like to build it up as have all I need here to do it other than spare the time


May be I should do a RaZzor and give up I think not
I like the blue rangie and couldn't part with it.

I'd love to help you out but.....
No chance of a weekend in march We are snowed over and way behind here now.
I will be down your way some time after though so if not all sorted it will be

I can take some pics of the 90 model and post up if any help although there may be some small differences as yours is a 93 and I seem to recall may be on duel fuel.
From what I've seen you had it all well sorted and parts labeled so you will do OK once you get into it.
I'm sure someone here can talk you through it
Just remember I'm only a rough ol bushie now with a few trades

Oh my project Rangie Now I have the 4BD1 120 it does get neglected now.
A bit sad when all the ingredients are here including two spare Rangies,a Disco, 4.11s, MDs etc.

My wife wants to do Tassie soon and I haven't done anything with the Rangie yet We may be a fly drive Or take the 4BD1T 120

yep it's dual fuel , and I was only just kidding about the weekend , I just gotta pull my head in and get stuck into it and finish it

when I finish my Rangie , I'm gonna drive up over a few weekends and start on your rangie project , so we can finish your project in time for Taswania , on the way down we'll drop into Matt's place and drink his beers.
