The Lux, to wreck or not to wreck.

Post by Luxmad450 »

Hey Guys,
Long time reader, first time poster. Got a problem an thought I'd ask the experts. I've been lux mad for years but I've gone an picked myself up a wife an baby boy so thats the end of the traybacks. I've picked up a '89 HJ61 turbo cruiser in near mint cond that I've fallen in love with so the family car is sorted but what to do with the lux. She's got a ruff as guts body but its an '84 4x4 with an efi 304 V8, supra 5sp, custom rear shaft(good for 5oohp), booty fab front shaft, ln106 diffs with rear lsd, spring lift, body lift, good triple m alloy tray, s/steel 100lt long range tank, powersteer, bullbar, brushbars, dual batt, winch, side steps, toolboxes, spotties, commo buckets, 80ser booster n master, rv6 front calipers. The list goes on but I cant think anymore. So do I spend all this time an money tidying it up for maybe 5 grand tops when I could be out wheeling the 60 or do I bust it up for parts, shed a tear an say goodbye to an era ?

Is it engineered/legal (at least the engine conversion)?

If so, sell it whole. People pay good money just to avoid the hassle of getting their own conversion engineered.

If not, part it. Nobody will buy your un-roadworthy piece of shit :lol: Sounds like parts could be worth far more than 5 grand.
