what to do with my old rangie

[matt_w]

i have a 1988 rangie, iv been driving it for 10yrs, now time to put it to rest,
with its 4.6L motor (no.8 cylinder no compression) but the rest of the car is ok,
open to thoughts of swapping the lt230 into the 1990 and swap the maxi rear locker, then offload the rest

i have recently purchased a 1990 vogue rangie

Yep I'd go that way to, swap the maxi and lt230 - keep the car while you swap everything over as you'll need a few parts ie handbrake, front prop shaft, gearbox/transfer mounts etc then sell off the rest

ok, so once i have pulled apart what i want from the 1988, will anyone be interested in taking over he rest for parts?

[rustysrangierecks]

yes i will be. please let me know what you have left

[matt_w]

ok, decided im going to strip the 1988 over my xmas break, so keep an eye on here for when parts come available

[matt_w]

ok people, finally got the parts out of the old car, now time to offload the leftovers, complete rolling body minus driveline

so, the 4.6L was found good and rebuilt and put into the 1990 along with the LT230 and ZF auto, plus the maxi locker and maxi drag links

if anyone is interested in either looking into building up my former pride n joy, or taking it for spares, im open to getting this 1988 rangie offloaded rather quickly, as the mechanics dont want it there any longer and i dont have anywhere to put it
