hey guys decided going to sell the sierra and buy more of a daily car. i have just spent around 3 grand on the car in repairs and still owes beers for labor.


the features of this car are as follows:

* duel fuel tanks
* monza bucket seats
* 1.3L engine with a webber carby ontop fully rebuilt from bottom up with all the wiring cleaned up and neat
*has all unis replaced with grease able uni joints
*replaced rear diff center
*replaced fuel sender
*replaced alternator
* led rear tail lights and front indicators
* bikini top and full soft top
* kenwood cd player with usb and aux in with new 6x9 front speakers and out door speakers in the back in boxes.
* 31" good year wrangler mud terrains with 80% tread if not more
* new 15" black king rims when tires were fitted
* extractors running to a 2" full custom exhaust
* extended shackles
* custom front tube bar
* wt dash conversion
*diff breathers
*all new oils right throughout
*upgraded vitara alloy radiator and new clutch fan and shroud

the car needs a few things fixed and swapped fro rwc
*shackles removed and lift kit installed to fit 31"s
*the floor in the back where the previous owner cut and welded a patch his weld has cracked so needs to be tacked back up
*the rear seats need to be modified to fit the seats or mod plated for 2 seater.
*speedo cog in transfer has broken so no speedo
*gear box has got a noisy bearing so eventualy will need a rebuild or replaced i found a gbox for 100$
*the bucket seats and duel fuel needs mod plates
and the floor i have plated where its cracked where the seats bolt in plate could be welded in or floor welded up

the car runs great since the rebuild and would not need to much work to fix it up, depending on how you went about things would not cost much as everything in the drive line bar gearbox and speedo drive have been replaced. i have spent allot of money on this car lately to get it to a decent and reliable standard.

ill be giving the engine bay and car a good cleaning over the next couple of days and will post up some pics when im done. chasing $5500 ono throw me some offers

full quid?? and seeming my zook is off the road again from driving down the high way im out growing it very quick because while its off the road i have to borrow my mums car and she has to bus and train to work

Maybe spend money on the right things on your car to make it more confortabe...

For one it looks like you have extended shackles on that thing, fuck them off, they make your car handle like a pig. Secondly they look vertical, so they are going to giv e a shit ride. Third, have you RUF'd yet? Have you removed any leaves out of the pack? These are all things you can do to improve the ride of the car...

Seriously, you WILL regret pissing this thing off for a hilux...

Instead of going "this is too hard" just do the work, a majority of it can be done for next to nothing, so what have you got to lose by holding onto it for another month and playing with the suspension...

[lukes_89]

its not that their is a list of things and as i said i dont have the time nor money to do these things it just does not suit my needs for now so it has to go i will be sad to let it go but ill get another one one day.

So this lux that you are gonna replace it for will be pretty $$$, unless you want to buy a cheaper one and start ironing out all the problems again like you have been with the LWB. Pretty much any older 4x4 you are going to have to put in some time and money to get it back up to scratch unless you know the owner miraculously cared for it.
