Did you end up running that elec dizzy I gave you a while back? I'm selling another (refurbished one this time) one on the tard at the mo -
It worked perfect for me, mine had 3.3l Nissan diesel in it so was screaming its tits off at 75k with stock box/diff. Conversion allowed to cruise at ~90k fine. For towing heavier loads the clutch did appreciate it if I had it in low box though
-
Awesome. I can highly suggest the rangerover diff swap. Be aware you need the entire nugget to do the change, and it must be from an early (10 spline) RR - but I'm sure you knew that. I did a bit of a pic/writeup in my old build thread.
-
Pulled any of the paint/bog off yet? Someone hasn't put a whole lot of effort into hiding their work... Looks like straight forward other than the "damage front chassis both sides...has had a repair"
-
Pine...

I've got a cheap handheld one which should work. Where you want it dropped off?
-
SOLD! Gone to Chch....
-
You get all the brazing out? I bought an AC/DC/pulse TIG the other week you are welcome to have a play with some time.
-
Chur, I think it is a sensible price but I am sure some smart bugger will try and knock me down. Will be firm at that $$$ as have had a bit of interest already.

Just did some marshelling for the Otago rally- was sitting out the back of Waipori falls so was able to do some 'spirited' driving along one of the long rally stages. Was a bit of a laugh the whole day with this and a good one to be running without the canvas.

Boom yo Have already had a few people interested in this so not sure if it'll make trademe....

Failed WOF on: Speedo not working Rust in A-pillar (I picked the bog out the other week) Rear wheelbearing seal leaking All of which I knew about, should get this done tonight/tomorrow as this is required for marshalling in the Otago Rally this weekend.

It's bigger brother has arrived.
-
4k ono. I will get the seats retrimed for any OS purchase
-
Coz I bought a disco the other day - new job means more coin but losing company car. Hence no need for this. Plus the sale will fund the next project....
-
Just done a few 100 ks in this on the way to our duck shooting spot and back. Ran like a dream but ear plugs are a must Is essentially now for sale - need to tidy it up for the tard
-
Done a bunch of things which make this a whole lot better, most of which you cant see... Redid rear chassis spring bushes (prick of a job) Tweeked door tops and reglazed Tightened steering box mount to stop flexing. And, bonnet mounted the spare, good?
-
Twasn't a 'gentlemans demonstration' either - some of these guys were gunning for it . The black Austin Healey 100/4 above was my fav - had a cobra 289ci V8 jammed into it in '57. Raced/crashed and the guy has spent the last 14 years restoring it. Truely an awesome vehicle.
-
I really should have taken more photos, was a pretty awesome event - will be back next year, hopefully to crew for one of the cars.
-
Yep, only for cash money money
-
Do you still have the original straight axle steering box?
-
I'm probably going to be up for the racing on sat
-
I'm gonna drag this up.... The IRD were good to me so I went and splashed out on a AC/DC/pulse unit like that posted above, even got an owner bottle and a new helmet. Had 20min playing in the shed and man I am hooked, having so much control of the weld pool over what I am used to with MIG is incredible. Had a play on some panel steel and like how you can have such a small, concentrated pool with the pulse setting. I can safely say I'll only be using the MIG for quick and dirty jobs in the future and look forward to improving the skills
