Selling to the right owner who will use the zook more than me. Starting another company and just won't have the time to wheel it in the next couple of years. Would be a VERY good comp rig/ basis for AUST4/Ultra4/tough truck style buggy, or get a RWC and keep on wheeling it.

There are so many things i've done to the car over nearly ten years of ownership its impossible to list everything. It would be great to sell the car complete.

I will part it out if no one is interested in the whole car. in parts as indicated it totals $9290. take the whole thing for $8000 no reg no rwc. the zook will be available as a whole car for pickup until 21st July. I will part it out when i return if no interest when i get back from overseas in early September.

parts wise you get everything for the indicated price under the headings except those items with a price next to them.

I got sick of waiting for you remydog to finish yours :D. Most likely this will stay with me by the looks of the lack of interest shown in it as a whole vehicle. If I get really keen I'll part it out when I get back in September, but probably won't.

If someone was smart and had $8k kicking round it would be one of the easiest ways to convert your current sierra into a beast without having to spend $25k over 8 years in refining all of the bad bits out of it! All the driveline gear will bolt into a stock 1.3 sierra. Can't get any easier.

With hard tracks getting harder and harder to find to drive legally down my way the zook is not getting the use it was designed for. Right now my zook has just clicked over the 25 year old mark making it eligible for club rego. Interestingly after talking with Allan from Piranha and he just club regoed his Sierra Chassis Vitara bodied Coiled Comp Rig through the Toyota Landcruiser Club of Victoria. I might look into this further.

Leaf springs are where its at! It would cop full coilovers and a wheel base stretch if I ever went down that road, but it would probably be cheaper to buy one of these :rambo: and "finish him!"... phrases like :deadhorse: and you can't polish a turd, but can roll it in glitter come to mind at the mere though of wasting more money on it!

Ok bumping this back up. $8000 take the whole car plus all the spares I have, Take it all!! EVERYTHING!! winch and UHF/antenna is also including, lightbar has been moved on.

If you are really interested in this rig give me a call on 1300 780 141 and we can talk. I am negotiable with serious buyers. I have a tandem trailer which I can lend or deliver the car on as well dependant on location to the buyer.

All the springs are brand new, the calipers on all 4 wheels have been rebuilt with new brake pads, all new bushes, the swivel hubs, king pins and front wheel bearings are all new and have been redone, the hubs have a long wheel stud conversion which was over $200 in parts alone for the studs!

The car starts first go everytime. The auto is strong running full synthetic nulon ATF. The whole driveline is in excellent condition, don't forget the full fabbed transfer mounted disc handbrake setup which is unreal offroad.

Tyres are about 70% at a guess. Still Heaps of Meat. Anyway, at $8000 it's an absolute bargain. There is a shitload of cool stuff on this zook but its time for it to go! Serious buyers, give me a call.

Back on eBay again. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Suzuki-Sierr ... 9db&_uhb=1

Three day auction. I'm chasing $6k as it is which is an absolute steal. If you want to buy it give me a call on 0428 292 839 to discuss.

If I don't get $6k i'll be parting it out.

Cheers
Dan

We actually wheel our zooks down here in Victoria, often in mud, and heck, sometimes we actually get them dirty! Sometimes just for fun we take the doors off as well. just to get that little bit extra dirty. :D
