Then it can sit in the shed as a registered 4wd

I did that last night....not fun

Took hour and half to get home which takes only 45 mins in a normal car

drove the Zuk home last night in peak hour traffic and pouring rain. Certainly very different than the patrol and the Audi. The front springs are brand new Ridepro heavy duty rears and are very stiff and combined with the soft Old Man Emu racing buggy shocks makes for a bouncy ride.

I had forgotten how much fun it was to drive, nice exhaust note too. Amazing with the wide tracks under it how much more bump steer compared to the narrow tracks. Also with the series 3 and the 31s make it rev a bit more than with the 34s.

really can't wait to get this thing back on the road now

Good to hear your getting the passion back.

Looks like its nearly there time to unstick it. How many weeks did this take

yeah you're right Pete. With Xmas coming up, going on holiday and redoing the backyard te extra $$ for rego is now being put off til Jan. Bit of a bummer but I couldn't go out 4wheeling until then anyway so might as well save the $$

Hmmm, January huh? Maybe we can race to the finish line Grimbo?

Just checked TAB. You are at unbackable odds to win.

*URGENT*
might want to check Grimbo ...
I know RWC are only valid for 30 days !!!
waste to get it done , then let it expire !!!

taken from Vicroads site.....

How long does a certificate last?

A Certificate of Roadworthiness is current, for the purposes of a transaction, for 30 days from the date of issue.

It is worth exactly 2 air lockers and a set of 33" claws (on beadlocks),
but alas I only have 1 kidney left

You could go back to selling girl guide cookies

Well I now have a 1.3 and 5 speed g/box. Next step will be to try and convince someone in the club with the tools, garage space and know how to put it in. then get another RWC and voila regoed Sierra.

See, all very easy, you just have to know how to work to timelines and work efficiently and you two can have a car clear a defect notice in just 20 months

Is the 1.3 legal? isnt it a 1 liter zook? do you need to fab much to get it in or is it a simple swap?

not all lwb's are 1.o litres....they are 1.3's from about late 84 to something, then were 1.0 again

Mine was originally a 1.3, theoretically it should be a simple case of taking the old one out bolt the new one in (all engine mounts etc are original) hook everything up and then wait 6 months to get the rwc

I got tools ... but no space, and negligible know how ... along with basic build ups that follow grimbo style time lines ...

don't worry Guy I have you pencilled down as a trusty sidekick like me. Can look very busy if required and is willing to learn and help

I think it's time to give bigsteve a call, he seems to have the space and tools?

Don't say that,
he will chew my arse again for not picking up my shit
Peter.

Has he got a new ride yet?
