tortron Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Do love a rusty L200 Cheap parts on rockauto, sold as dodge d50's there Quote
lush Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Yeah man just made my first purchase off rock auto today, sooo much cheaper than local stores! Ordered almost every bush, tie rod and balljoints for front end. 2 Quote
tortron Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 You should be able to pump out the sides of the wellside wheel well pretty easy, where the wheel tub meets the side is only cheesed on. And it's only single wall Some widebody/boxflare sort of set up could be the go Quote
lush Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 I had contemplated putting flares on and cutting the tray. but then couldn't bring myself to do that I like the factory body lines. Would rather get the diff shortened to match the original L200 width and everything should be good then. But it's not too much of an issue for now Quote
ProZac Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Hmmmmmm, nice. Great to see another L200 getting the good treatment they deserve :-). 1 Quote
lush Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 Cheers mate, I had one years ago with a starion motor and it loved the right jandal. Always regret selling it so had to build another Quote
MACKAZ Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I'm still requiring that clutch pedal bruv.... 1 Quote
lush Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 Yeah something I keep forgetting about but since I'm gunna part out my 4wd one I'll pull that one out for ya 1 Quote
ProZac Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Nice. Love the twin round headlight front eh. I've pulled the mounting bits off the parts truck I have and will convert my red one to the twin round front one day, hmmmm :-). 1 Quote
lush Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Cheers mate. I have spare twin round headlights and grill. Not mint but useable I have a feeling this has been changed as it's a 1982 which from what I understand should be twin squares Quote

There was some just use what parts are available going on at some points too. front end prang likely as well i guess Quote
lush Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Yeah very true, somehow my ute, lancer and mirage are all 1982 models and that was never intentional. Did have a 76 lancer but sold it to bigfoot to fund house Reno's, glad it went to good home though Quote
ProZac Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 The one I pulled them off is also an 82, and a todd motors vehicle. It was a 1.6 with a column change 4 speed, so pretty base spec. 1 Quote
tortron Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Quite liking the missmatched panel paintjob 1 Quote

Not sure if it was a Todd motors vehicle I've never actually checked Quote

I dont want a mint looking ute as I will scratch the shit out of it. The evidence is in my mazda bt50 that had two scratches a broken tail light and broken fog light before it had 500kms on the clock..... So the cunning plan me and a mate have been discussing is a paint job but making it look patina I guess call it a "fake patina" ? He has experience in doing it. Tempted to change to a different style of wheels too but the diff will definitely need shortening for what I'm wanting to do Quote
CUL8R Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 You might run into problems with the pump mounted that high. (unless you already have another low by the tank - which would then seem pointless) Looks like a Carter pump, they're a push type pump, not a suck. You'd really want it much lower and closer to the tank outlet for it to be effective. 1 Quote

I acquired this pump years ago so it's no biggie if it doesn't do the job. Originally these just had a mechanical pump on the motor so I'll see how it goes but if it does create issues I'll know where to start looking. Do you have any idea what psi rating these pumps have?

Probably a Carter 4070 https://www.nzperformance.co.nz/carter-4070-72gph-6psi-fuel-pump I run one directly to the carb - no regulator - on the Mercury and it seems OK. I do have it mounted at the back of the car down by the gas tank. 1 Quote
