At some times i wish i had kept the one I sold and made a 4:44 out of it and moded the hell out of it too. No space no time and a wife that would not let me do it

I'll go you halves. :)
I've been considering finding a spare car for a while now. Or I could go the other way and finally give in and admit I don't have the time to finish restoring mine... and offer it up for sale instead... |

mine is restorable but it will cost me less to get this other one then i can use mine for the things i wrote in my first post |

Just keep in mind that whatever you do, you could recover some costs by flogging off parts to me. :) In fact just noticed a spot of rust on sunroof, so now I need to make a repair/replace decision for that too. |

what parts do you need ? :) my sunroof has rust on it also :( that seams to be a common rusting spot for our aus spec cars |
Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
Oh ok. I've only seen lots of rusted window-in-a-window dividers, and not sunroof. I guess that makes that decision easier... repair it is then... :)
Otherwise exhaust and steering rack are the big items. |

and ive only seen my sunroof with rust but if yours has it too thats a little weird haha my exhaust is good except for a bit of a dint in the rear box from the trailer (that i could see :rolleyes: )and the doughnut bit behind the main res leaks a tiny bit and the steering rack was fine before the accident but im not sure of the codition of it at present , it took a big hit too the front as you can tell by the pictures on my other thread |
Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
well i picked up another 92 pearlie today
shes got a couple of small things i would like to change there are outward facing dints in the hood im guessing from tools being left on the engine and the hood being closed :tard: so i will swap it for no.1's one the middle light brake light bar is a little out of shape i have no idea why the button on the centre console lid is missing and one of the vents is a different fake woodgrain:rolleyes: and when cold there is a ticking sound (not unusual i know :rolleyes:) and also a card in bike spoke sound and an exhaust rattle but all disappear when warm :confused: i figure il use no.1 to mock up the liberty 5 speed then swap the whole drivetrain from no.1 into it (no.2 has 325000 kms no.1 only has 260000 and i only just had 4k worth of engine work done to it so i may as well ) and il use the higher mileage engine as a rigoli eng build block (when i pay off my bank loan ... evantually :lol:) |
Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
I also have the sunroof rust, just to throw my 2 cents worth in. After it rains, if I open the sunroof (even a couple of days later) water drops into the car and onto me. Quite fun when it is a 34 degree day and you are not expecting hot water all over your arm...
If you want to sell your radiator fans out of either... Let me know, I am need. :) |
Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
oh ok , ive never had water drop on me , have you tried to clear the drainage lines ?
im still yet to work out exactly what i want to do :rolleyes: |
Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
well i got the liberty i was going to use for the manual swap , at first i was told it was single range but upon arival i looked and it is dual range so i guess il just sell it all as parts and find a single range gearbox and hopefully after getting a box and pedal set etc il get the body straightened on the first pearlie with whatever money i have left :rolleyes:
