  1. found this thing today, guy was going to throw it out so i thought i had better take on another project. anyone own one\ know if you can get parts? was some kind of sheep sheering machine,don't own any sheep so might turn it into an inverter generator if the time allows
  2. brought this one for real cheap yesterday, that means 4 utes, I've got issues parts anyone? 4wd L200
  3. so this happened today, $200 towed it 45km home,prob should build a car trailer. has got a 1.6 that should be sweet in the wagon,if its not rooted. will do a compression test
  4. 4 speed? had one of these years ago was awesome,paid $3500 for mine, jacked the torsen bars up. have still got a front diff head and the long axel that comes out the side if you ever need one\want to weld up. the later 1990 ish l200 complete rear axel with lsd bolts in but needs the handbrake cable fiddling with,if you need a lsd that is. wouldn't be too hard on the gearbox. looks cool
  5. hey mate I'm a plumber by trade and we normally have the pipes rising from the heat source to the storage unit, not sure if it really matters,not telling you what to do,looks cool wish i had the time to build one and find some gurls.
  6. had to sell the lancer to hopefully re-do the shed, hope to weld up some bigger frames and lay a concrete base,theres two more frames the guy never put up.
  7. heres my other ute, towed it about 40km. must of had some funny looks, took about 1m out of the chassis, not finished yet has an lsd thou so should make a good paddock hack or engine test bed for the turbo engine i may finish.
  8. anyone got a good place to get a rocker cover gasket set for an evo3? and a vr4 gasket conversion set? speed factor wanted almost $200 for both
  9. brought a new house out at paengaroa near (far away from) tauranga, got car in shed

  11. be careful pulling the rubber off that runs along the top of the glass below the gutter. hard to find and buy.. will be hard to find all the correct gsr bits but good luck.
  12. stripped a pretty mint 78 galant from kerikeri for parts, brought it for $140, didn't have my ute running so put everything in a van and left the shell.
  13. sold our house and have been in a temporary house till we move into our new place in a few weeks so not much has been happening.but hoping to get back into it next year
  14. good to see another turbo sigma still alive,brought one ten years ago for $200 and pulled the motor and scrapped the rest,little did i no. think they only came in white the early ones? have a spare new clutch master for one here if yours shits itself.same guy had a 78 sigma,offered it to me for a hundred bucks and thought it was too pricey.
  15. have had a shitload of cars with this engine,seem to be very reliable will be following this with interest,two of my cars currently run them if you need another person to test out your engine let me no haha
  16. i seen a very tidy but dirty silver one at a mechanics shop down maleme st greeton tauranga,must of been 6 years ago now? looked all standard,to me it seemed like it had just come in the country.didnt ask about it as i could have got excited if it was for sale.was there for a few weeks,never seen it again. 4 door. good luck with your car very nice.
  17. I'm sure years ago i put a 1850 head on my gto,I'm guessing the cam would be different,and yes the dizzy out of the block motors apparently had issues. i also put a gs gto cam in a 1850 and thought it ran better,but could have been dreaming.
  18. got the engine bay primed up,just need to find where i left my clear coat for the paint.
  19. been busy cleaning out all the crap in the engine bay to give it some paint,what a mess,takes such a long time to get all the grime and oil off.not fun and my gas bottle has run out. anyone want a 4 speed manual box? swap for a box of waikatos,looks super clean. also motor will be going to scrappy unless someone wants to swap for beer? its a 1600 with issues.
