SOLD

Very interested in the tyres and rims. Got pics.

[Moph]

Words cannot describe how awesome it is to drive in this car, even just a flip down the shops and back. In a competition between a Ferrari and the ring-a-ding-ding little LJ50, this will pull heads every time

Wish I could buy her mate, but the missus would have me goolies for dinner. Good luck with it and I hope she finds a loving home

You really do get home, jump on Auszookers and immediately search for any use of the word "boobs" that day, don't you Joe

[Lokidog]

You have a PM Denzel

Very cool car. It's amazing how much the two strokes retain the value.
Good luck with the sale.

3 msgs about the tyres already

will get some pics up soon. gotta find a camera that works first, there is one here somewhere

[Lokidog]

I had a look at your old build thread. They look pretty good to me.

[dm90]

okay guys got some photos of wheels and rust uploading to photobucket now

EDIT: here they are

the tyres


tread depth, note it says about 6mm on there but its probably 3 or 4 more mm as its one of those stupid kids rulers where there is a bit of plastic before the numbers start counting, if ya know what i mean.



and now for the rust, it actually looks worse on these pics

drivers side panel under the door


drivers side footwell, those tiny holes are where the rust has eaten through in the last 38 years


passenger side footwell


there are a few lil bubbles here and there and some dings too. mechanically this car is fine, seems to me to be anyway, but im no mechanic. it just needs panel work and a good paint and she will be a dream. maybe even a small 1.5 inch lift and some muddies if you wanna wheel it, but keep the bar treads handy, always looks good original. i used to roll down the fremantle strip with a small ipod dock listening to rock n roll and watching everyone point and laugh. always good fun. better than being in a ghey commie that cant even drive over a speed bump

[Lokidog]

^^ You can keep the rust. I'm just interested in the tyres and rims

I'll take the tyres and rims!

[dm90]

tyres are sold pending payment

and thanks for the comments guys, im gonna miss her.

regretful sale

to be honest i wish i just had somewhere safe for her to sit until i got back, but its better that someone else loves her than be all cold and lonely

Hey Denzel, what's the exact diameter and width of the tyres and rims.

Trying to work out if I can fit them in the back of the Zook or whether I'll need to hookup the trailer?

Aron managed to fit 4 x 31x10.5's in the back of his Zook ... don't reckon you'll fit 5 in there though.

Take the spare off at home so you can fit one on the back and you should be right.

you will def get 4 so mophs idea is pretty good, and if you get a flat call me and i will drive out in the LJ with the tyres so you can change them there

but im pretty sure i fit all 5 in the back of my jimny, bit of a squeeze but i managed it

EDIT: to actually answer you question

69cm diameter, 18cm wide

[twitchy]

Understand how you feel about the Little girl, Dads has a fuggen corolla engine, just wish I could find his original engine to put back in it..... After all build Number 0008 deserves to be back to original.
So badly want one for myself....

[hooki]

awww I wish the timing was better, I would love to own that 50. Good luck with the sale, it should sell fast.

[something_else]

I'll give you $3500 if you pay for shipping to qld haha

Thanks Moph, that was a great idea. Caught up with Denzyl this morning to pick up the tyres and rims. Wacked four in the back and one on the carrier.

Thanks also Denzyl. The tyres/rims were a good buy for the money you were asking. I have already cleaned the rims and tyres up somewhat and gave them a quick lick of paint. Should look the goods on Lokidog.

Have a great trip to Canada and I hope everything goes well for you.

Also the LJ50 looks a classic and with a bit of work will come up a treat like some of the other LJ's floating about on the forum.

thanks heaps lokidog, good to have a quick smooth sale.

they are a good tyre and still in good knick. ill keep an eye on your build thread or trip pics to see what they loook like but a good set of muddies always transforms the look of a 4wd.

cheers

secure storage isn't that expensive
jack stands, disconnect the battery, change the oil and fill with fuel

how long do you plan on being in Canadia
you might not find another one when you get back

its a two year visa so i plan on using that all up. after that probably travel down through south america for 6 months or so.

i know, its sad. but in a way i kinda just want to get rid of everything and start over.

do you have any idea how much? maybe i will call up a storage place in case it doesnt sell.

[DarkHorse]

If you're investigating storage look as far out of town as you can get back from, it gets exponentially more expensive the closer you get to the city.

Buy half a million of those moisture traps so the rust doesn't take over while you're away!

[NarnieeBish]

I've ridden in the LJ and its so cool ahha

[kirstyandgrace]

When I moved from Ravensthorpe to Perth I became homeless, but had 2 cars and furniture etc.

I ended up renting a storage shed big enough for a sierra and a small household's furniture
for $200 a month. just the usual concrete wall, roller door shed deal, easy access though

The place was just off Abernathy Road

[dm90]

bump

price drop
