I bought it off a backpacker who purchased it from the auctions in Hamilton and drove it around the country before departing for Thailand from Christchurch earlier today. Its a bit rough around the edges and may need a few patches sorting for its next wof but its a pretty solid car over all. Rumour has it was a Taxi in Hamilton many years ago Its a 4 speed column change manual with a 2.2 diesel and a bench seat, in other words awesome! Plans so far are just to go through the basics oil, cooling system etc. will keep an eye out for a set of suitable wheels and install some low. I will get some better pics when it stops raining Longer term I may look at replacing the SD22 Motor with an LD28 or something similar 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- i5oogt - Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 So, I have been daily-ing this thing. So far done around 4000kms in it. and it has used around 5.5L of oil. It goes pretty well for a car with 415000 odd kms on the clock. Tired motor funtimes. I have a replacement SD22 motor lined up in Oamaru for $150, I just have to go and remove it from the truck its installed in. The Starter motor gave up last friday The reduction gear thing collapsed so either need that cog bit or another starter motor. I also went up and saw a mate who wrecks 4x4s over the weekend. He has a mid 80s Navara ute with a SD23 motor sitting there. The cool thing is that has a rangi looking homemade turbo setup. So the next major upgrade will be a TURBO !!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
