rb drifter

So with it being rolling body, I purchased the red L200 deregistered with good running gear. Turned out to have a fairly decent dash too which was sick!  Also kept the bonnet and original tail gate off this ute as the purple tray had a shaved tailgate which isn't my cup of tea

The white L200 in pics was one we used for padock bashing, it supplied alot of rust cuts, mint grill and a few other goodies. 

So so far theres been 3 parts vehicles used but I had trouble finding a tidy passenger door, so I ended up with a 4th, a 4wd deregistered one which I bought just for the door. Ended up raiding the bench seat, interior trims and a few other bits off this one too. Am parting it out if anyone needs anything too

Decided to remove cab from the chassis as chassis needed some love, made it easy for rust repairs on the cab too

Please note this was my first ever attempt at rust repairs too so go easy on the judgement 

With the chassis I wire brushed it back, covered in crc rust converter, and brush painted smooth black hammerite on it. Why? Because the quote I got from the sandblaster was way out of my budget... 

Also got my leaf springs reset almost flat, got 3" tapered blocks, new bushes too

Also took a L300 van diff, these are wider and 5 stud, cut the mounts and shifted them to suit L200, put a later model L200 lsd in it too 

Here's a photo dump....

Probably first thing I did was convert front end to 5 stud using L300 van hubs, why? Because I had a sweet collection of 5 stud wheels.....

Also managed to swap the flat deck tray for a decent condition welside tray, which I was stoked on 

Also found my mate had an L200 laying in his padock so went and raided any decent parts I could

And started stripping things back for rust repairs..... yay!

Discuss about how I have been infected with trying to fix rusty old mitsis and should really see a doctor.....

Project thread...

Okay like always I haven't been on here for quite some time, so here's what I've been working on the last two years or more. So here's a few posts hopefully in order all at once....

Purchased this sweet L200 off westley, I think hes on here, another mitsi buddy.

Was rolling body, didn't look too bad rust wise but whole reason I bought it was because I'm a sucker for twin round headlights

This is where it started

yeah same i got army green on one of my lancers wish it was a bit darker too, way better than primer tho haha

to swap your gearbox rear end you gotta take the selector shaft out it got a cottle pin in it you gotta tap out and swap that over not the whole rear piece to change selector position.

sweet lux man love the army green

such a sweet car, definately something to be proud of when its all done, the time and effort you put into it to makes everything look mint is super sweeet man, wish i had the patients to take that kinda care with my projects

any vids of your wags on the skid pad?

ill be keen on the 4g63 if it resonable price and runs ok. mines on its way out,  could do a deal with my dohc 4g63 part if you want?

this is blowing my cock off

super sweet how you hiding the intercooler. i can stand intercoolers that stick out on oldschool cars

8 bolt heads are all the same, axles wont fit due to bearings are different.

now you just made yourself look like a wierdo,  go have a wet dream about your many vws you have, and seeing as you hate lancers ill come take yours away

long time since an update, now has a lock diff for that sweet two wheel action, also the exhaust snapped off on the motorway last weekend from too much hammering from speedbumps, so now has 2.5" all the way through to a dumpy muffler, sounds alrite but still a couple of leaks i need to attend to. 

the motor is using alot of oil atm so since kaikohe burnouts is this weekend ill give it a run in there and try finish it off once and for all!  then ill have a good excuse for another engine swap...

kaikohe burnouts sat 3rd may
