G'day Guys, On my first real outing with the Simex / Flares combo I damaged the drivers rear flare, so I have taken it off and patched the inside and flattend off the outside so looks like new again. Question is, has anyone managed to match up a paint to the original colour - I have tried a flat ...

G'day Guys, Anyone know of a good price for BFG MT's in size 255 / 85 x 16 in or around Sydney??? Been quoted $320 per tyre, but will do for $300 per tyre if I purchase the 5 - this was my local Bob Jane. Anyone have any good contacts???

Yep as part of the old Honda / Austin Rover tie up from the late 80's early 90's just before BMW bought them - all ties severed after that date.

I bought a complete Panel damaged 1997 Disco from Ritters and used all the mechicals from the Disco and ...

Hey Tony,

Do these stick out from under the door?

Only it would be helpful if they did as the misses can then use them as a step to get into the car - yes she's a short arse!!!

Good firewalls vary between $5-800 - depends on where you buy them and what is included.

Do you have the Dash and heater? - I will be looking for one soon.

LRH.

one of the fans seems to run smoothly as its pretty free and the other is quiet stiff to turn by hand.

Are they supposed to be like this?

LRH

G'day Guys,

I know there are some of you out there that have put in EL fans, but I have a set of EF fans - think they are the same???

Does anyone have any details on how they fitted them?

Do I need to trim much off?

Where do I secure them to the radiator?

THX in advance

Have some pix but none really show the cut. Can take some if you like and get back to you. It's no longer a trayback anymore. Have put a siii body on the back now to make it a bit more usable. Not as good for hardcore 4wd though but you get that. ANY pix would be interesting!!! Love the wheel ...

Have done exactly what you are thinking about 2years ago. Not a problem to get it certified in QLD. I had to plate inside and out (2 L shaped braces ) Mine was a 130 so i lost 27" and went to 100". Saved about half a ton in weight with losing the tray i had as well. I had to have a certified welder ...

I priced a gal chassis from the UK, about $6000 landed in AU.

So not a cheap option!!!

So I was thinking of selling the s2a chorty ute and buying say a late 80's 110 ute with a 4bd1 (Not in a hurry to get anywhere and I like that engine) and then get an engineer to chop 10 inches out of the chassis so it has 100" wheelbase and then take the tray off and just have a bit of barwork at ...

aha, lucky bugger!!!

I know the white D90 Ute in your pix - bloody nice vehicle.

LRH.

Im looking to turn my D90 in to a ute by removing the current hardtop and fitting the cab from a trayback defender. If anyone knows someone or has one or even knows a wrecker that may have one please PM me. Im currently scouring wreckers but no luck yet. Only 1 problem, the late D90 comes without ...

G'day Guys, Well I am building a D100 - Range Rover chassis and a Defender body and I am looking for a contact to shorten the rear tub.
