Hi all,

its a sad day for me but its time to start putting some feelers out to see if there is any interest in my little beastie. With my FIFO job up in northern Queensland, 3 regos to my name and my other Sydney based car project coming to completion in the coming month or two I just dont see how i can be justified in holding onto her...there must be someone that will love her as much as i have

She has been my pride and joy for over 8 years now and i bought it as a pretty much stock little 4wd and slowly built her into an unstoppable and very capable 4wd. The majority of the work - engine conversion & wiring + SPOA conversion + rockhopper gears/transfer case rebuild has been done by none other than Wayne Murphy of the MadFab team that some of you might know from the Tuff Trucks scene. There isn't anywhere that the big diesel and V8s go that this little car cant and in worse case scenarios and you get stuck the shear size of the car means a couple of people can lift the thing! Thousands of $ have gone into her and countless hours of my and my many mechanic mates time have gone into this little beast. With the engine conversion she has plenty of 'Ommpf', is a super fun car to drive and is a real head turner. With detachable windscreen, roof and doors it is also a perfect summer or shooting car.

I will officially list this on car sales in the next month (and for an little extra on the price tag) but obviously I would prefer it go to a suzuki loving home hence why i am starting here. If anyone knows of anyone that is looking for one of these please pass the word on. Soon (when i return to Sydney next) i will upload some more photos but here are a couple that i currently have on my laptop

Cheers and Enjoy

Alexei

pretty sure most would be put off by the 2.5" lift, 2.5" shackles, SPOA + 2" bodylift.

how so? the only thing i would really change on this set up is remove the body lift which isnt really needed and lifts the cars centre of gravity.

that being said ive never rolled the car in the 8 years i have owned it and have been 4wheeling heaps

Considering Rego is due in 2 months and 2 days its time to price this thing to sell.

I want to avoid having to put another 6 months rego on a car i barley have time to use these days (not to mention my original goal is to reduce the number of rego'ed vehicles i own)

New Price of $5000

My loss...your gain
