The Roza is going soon

Post by drewe »

:(

Actually, am moving overseas, to a place where all cars have their wheels on the left, so the Roza's gotta go.

It will be listed on Ebay for $1 for parts, cause no one is going to buy it to register I think!

Anyway, going now if anyone is interested are

Rola roofracks with removeable ski mounts (in QLD - why???)
New air filter - still in box (I went to a Pod, this one was never used)
Actually, have the full original airbox with another filter if anyone interested.

Workshop Manual (full printed in Daihatsu folder)

Head - the water temp sensor is broken off so will need to be removed somehow, otherwise I beleive it is good.

There will be more, so if there is something you are interested in, let me know. I live in the Redlands and commute to eight mile plains\Brisbane, so any of those ok for pickup or dropoff.



If you are interested in any of this, let me know - piston9@gmail.com

It must be in really bad condition / completely stuffed to be essentially worth parts only - what did you do to it ?
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Damn, I'd be really keen on the rear roof bar and mounts and the air filter. Can you do COD by post?

Only problem with the roof bar is the size - not sure Aus Post will talk to me walking in with a wrapped 4" pole?

Is it a square bar?

I could manage with just the mounts.

Well I live in Brisbane and will be driving my station wagon down to Melbourne in early January next year (going to see the Aust open tennis).
I'll be staying near the MCG then at Frankston.

So if you want me to take something down to Melbourne for you let me know.

The racks are Rola - ie, they are one peice.

If you want the ski mounts to match, email me and we will work it out and I will post - they are much smaller :D

You should find the mounting ends will come off on the racks? That would help with postage.

They shouldn't mind, if you left it uncovered, they might call the police.

:lol: With only 4" (4 inches) I wouldn't be leaving it uncovered in public!

BTW 105cm is the limit for postal length. ;)

Hey Big-Stu , when you come down, don't forget that I owe you a beer for the solenoid....

drewe - is it an F300? having a spare front diff would be very usefull to see if its feasable to convert to a locker..

MightyMouse,
Yep I'll be in touch closer to the date and we can have a drink. I'd forgotten about the solenoid.
Got plenty of room for a diff or other things in the back of the car.

Finally after 20 years the kids are old enough to look after themselves for a few weeks while me the the wife go off on a holiday.

Just about to put the motor and gearbox back in the Rocky tonight. Damm it's a heavy lump of a thing. The new clutch pressure plate is red - so does that mean it will go faster?

Hell - why not....

I had a purplish one in the Feroza and it turned it into a Formula 1 - pity the engine died ( well was sorta killed ) soon after. Apparently 60 thou piston clearance isn't normal or healthy.

And just a s sanity check - your not driving the Rocky to Melbourne are you ? If the answers yes, I'll get the addresses of good chiropractors willing to do emergency calls ( just kidding I hope ).

No, not taking the Rocky to Melbourne this time. Taking my Skyline station wagon.

But about 3 years ago I was working in Melbourne for 12 weeks so I drove the Rocky down there and back again. Only problem I had was blowing a second hand tyre on the rear whilst doing 100 kph. Lets just say after crapping myself, the first thing I did was get some new tyres when I got to Melbourne.
