wiper arm. not sure if motors ok, i have a few sierra's if they are similar

thought so with seat. They are abit shagged. Also with window rubber.

Factory as you can get. Has nice 50c rust holes in tub from wipers up, all lower is great, chassis has light surface rust only. no holes in floor. No damaged panels. Very clean example. You have seen it before


Pic it up on Sat so will see what else is needed then.

Very Nice

I really like that one, the sliding windscreen is mega awesome.

Thoroughly check the front body mounts for rust and the chassis where that curve for the rear spring hanger is. They all go there. Looks like the tray is pretty good which is super rare.

All the LJ seats died about 2 minutes after they were new. Ages back there was a guy on the LJ10 making new covers for them, pretty sure he stopped though. Would be worth checking it out. Pretty sure I've got some spare wiper arms, I'l check when I'm back home next. For the motor if it doesn't work I'd be fitting something more powerful. Gutless single speed wipers will shit you to tears. Finding that bonnet clip will be difficult.

What's your plans for it?

[BlueSuzy]

Thanks and Thanks

When i saw it i had to have it.

Will have a better look over it on Sat.
The tray is original, the back door and the mud guard has a bit of rust, but not major.
Will check under the floor near the mount.

The motor purrs like a kitten, only smokey. Unsure if its the original f8. If it is, I'd rather freshen it up. Also has a f10 to go with it.

Single speed wipers! Will only be driving it around close to home, its going to feel like a tractor. My 88 Sierra is going to feel too new

The most weird thing is the rust thats formed in the panel at the front of your head inside. Really corrosive.. It also has a terrible spotlight holder in the middle of the roof. Will have to patch it.

Anyone know legalities on sliding front windows?? Would be cool to keep. I think it has proper window glass markings.

The trays are super thin so they're normally the shape of a pringle with rust holes. Stick the F10a in it, it'l make it a much more usable vehicle. Do a disk brake swap too, one of the best things I did to mine.

2 speed heater fan, single speed wipers. Suzuki messed up their priorities somewhere!

Yours is a stockman so it has a stronger back diff (26 spline, earlier ones were 22 spline), 1l uni joints, a heater that you can turn on without opening the bonnet (such luxury!), electric windscreen washers and a radio.

Aside from the steering they aren't that bad on the highway. I drove 400kms on Saturday in mine, it has a fueling issue that was holding it back but at times I was cruising at a real 110km/h and it really wasn't to bad. Even though it's turning 5500rpm the engine wasn't that loud.

I don't think they'd let that windscreen through because you can't use the passengers side wiper.

Good luck with it, sounds like you want to restore it and use it as a DD or something?

[BlueSuzy]

Yeah it will be back to standard for this one. Too original to modify really.

It will be full cleaned up and left in my Garage, Or rego'd and driven every second week/rotating between my sierra

It was last registered in S.A in 06'with the window. But i guess with no yearly inspections you can do anything you want

7.50x16s on the stock rims, F10a, LJ50 transfer case, 1520 lock right and plenty of barwork. Do it, you know you want to!

You can register anything in S.A.

[atari4x4]

you could do walk in rego/transfer without even having the car there... pay the stamp duty & pay for rego & away you go

[sideways]

Can you transfer that to NSW without a getting a RWC?

There's quite a large number of old cars with S.A plates in Perth.

[BlueSuzy]

Even if it had S.A. rego now, i would have to blueslip it for to nsw rego. The joys of Australia having different states as countries..

Yearly inspections here so the rust has to go. Might even club rego it so at least i still get to drive it on club days. Just thinking. Really can't afford 4 full rego's atm

[Daz7]

Historic rego, pink slip a hundred bucks and your in.
