Tetsu0san Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Is it me, or has it been lowered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 probably just looks like the front is lowered because there's almost no body over/behind the rear axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtail84 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 In the blurb it's a "3.5 diesel" and "it runs fine exept for a slight sqeal from the clutch which is a commen thing in offroad vehicals." I think I will swerve that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangebean Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Given that his last 2 sales were a muck spreader and a plucking machine, this has to be the ultimate marriage of the two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsu0san Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 But even if you stripped it, it's worth more than that for the engine and gearbox. And judging by the quality of the work, stripping it won't take too long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 ^^^^ OMG, but love the description ................ What I’ve done so far: Removed the body Converted the engine from EFI to standard twin SU carbs Wonderfull, turned a RR into a pile of scrap, and gone backwards re fuelling followed by the classic gem : Known Problems Carbs have some crud in them and one of them has a sticking float so the fuel sometimes overflows. The carbs need stripping and cleaning to get the full potential out of this engine. Brilliant, not only backwards but done badly too and then the finishing gems : Things left to do Roll Cage is a must Tank needs securing Water pipes to the radiator are only semi-temporary. You’ll need to buy a few more rubber bends so you don’t have those nasty white pipes running down the middle of the car Header Tank is only tied to the back of the chair. Brakes need oil. They should work. They worked fine before. I’ve removed the servo so it should just be a matter of putting oil in and bleeding them (assuming I’ve connected all the pipes to the master cylinder correctly). To do the engine justice it needs two straight through exhaust pipes. It still has the cats on at the moment so you should hear a lot more of that V8 rumble once removed. Fit a battery. Outstanding Private Pile This could be a great ongoing thread of Nasties Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
