WLDRX2 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Right. not sure if this should be in here or in other projects. I'm sure the mods will move it if it doesn't belong here. After the sale of the family farm in Kaikoura , I managed to get the farm ute . So last weekend my good lady and I shot up on Sunday and picked it up . It's a 1985 L200 , Grandad was the second owner from about 88, and it has a massive 75,000 kms . Thats the only 2 good points, as rust and rats have moved in, and fuck me does it stink inside. Not sure on the plans for it at the moment. A big part of me is thinking about trying to find a wellside for it and slamming it. not sure how well that would work with it being 4wd. Or fully restore it as a bit of a dedication to my grandad . //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/51221-wldrx2s-85-l200/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like a fucken gem too. clutch was stuck, but nothing a crash start couldn't fix. So stoked with how smooth it runs. In it's new home. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLDRX2 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 So, to hell with the Mazda and Holden. It's all about the 4wd now. pulled the guards to check for mud and rust, oh and rat nests. Found mud and nests but no rust other than in the front of the guards, so bloody stoked, thought for sure it would be rusty as hell . Anyone know how rusty your guards can be for a WOF ? Hope to keep this as close to og as I can, that means no panel repairs or new paint. Inside was clean as, under all the shit. og vinyl floor mats came up mint with a scrub, underlay has to go, way too much rat piss in it. Gave the guards a quick cut, came up better than I thought. Look forward to doing the whole cab. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WLDRX2 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2015 After a play this afternoon, the engine bay went from this To this guards and front back on, just need to sand and paint the bullbars and do a quick service and it will be ready for re-reg . Oh, and cut the rest of the paint to match the guards. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
