  1. where abouts was that? there are a few around for sale I think, how much do you have to spend?
  2. wish I'd taken a before pik of them, good for a laugh
  3. Well I have myself a project. I bought this car with alot of half assed jobs done to it so now I'm going through and fixing everything and making it into what will be a great car 4wd. Orgininally I believe it was a LWB soft top, now chopped to a ute. This is pretty much how I bought it. The poor effort of 3/4 elliptical setup, this is being cut off and back to standard leafs. Very poor welding and the springs drooped till they were sitting on the old mounts anyway. May try and do this setup again at a later stage with a bit more engineering in it. First job I did was pull all the dash and electrics out, these have been cleaned up wires add/taken out where needed. Headlights now have a set of relays and one for spotties. (pics later) so the wiring is half done, waiting for other jobs to be finalised Next I took the cab off after a quick appraisal I decided to cut off alll the old engine, gearbox and transfercase mounts With a mates CNC plasma cutter I got to work designing some mounts up and cutting them. After cutting off the old engine mounts I noticed that the tops of the chassis rails had cracked so some doubler plates were made up. The gearbox cross member has been made so it will drop out to make taking the gearbox out a breeze. New rear shock crossmember has been made and will be buying shock this weekend, they will be placed inboard. 4k with new mounts planing to use the fuel tank out of a hilux and sit it behind the cab. New engine mounts with doublers Gearbox Crossmember, using a hilux body mount as the rubber mount Next part will be new transfer case and fuel tank mounts and to position the rear shock crossmember and put in the new shocks there. Other major features that are in the plan are 6.5's 33x9.5 silverstones, dual lockers. for those that are more interested in zooks try auszookers.com
  4. I'm just about to make up a build thread, have a look over there later on.
  5. Has a flange input, so its just a case of making up a jack shaft to suit.
  6. I guess because they are easy to find and cheap to get parts for and that stuff. I bought the car with the 4k in it but dodigly mounted and wired, fixing it all up now. The previous sierra I had had the G13a in it and that revved like no tomorrow but loved to smoke.
  7. Ahh ok, I didn't realise it bolted up through, should be right now. Is it worth putting a build thread on here for the sierra would anyone be interested?
  8. What cars will have the gearbox mount on them that I could scrounge off? Anyone got a pic of how they are mounted/a mount?
  9. If anyone has these parts lying around Id love to buy them 4k water pump pulley radiator and hoses extractors clutch fork boot gearstick boot Will add/remove to the list as I get parts and find I need more parts.
  10. Well I've bought a sierra halfway through a 4k conversion and wondering which gearbox this is and where I can get the mounts for it? It is a 5 speed, thats about all I know, looks like some kind of adapter plate between the engine and bellhousing.
