Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok i will attach pics of my zuk in one it will show the rust thats i spoke about in another thread

can any one tell me if there is any thing missing from the dash except the heater controls and the covers for the steering colomn

The console that holds the AM Radio,

And the two switches that says "front locker" and "rear locker" (they come standard ya know in that model )

Mark

i like that model were can i pick one of those up lol that would be good if they were factory option

but seriously there has to be some thing missing from the centre cus there are wire hanging down for the radio or similar

does any one know how much all the inside of the instrument panel would be when i say that i mean the centre bit with all the lights to tell you when its in 4wd and stuff lol

Looks good, great project for a young fella. good luck.

The area straight under the fan/heater controls is where the stereo is fitted with the 12V socket on the left.

hey you gotta love the steering without the donk in there

That rust is a perfect excuse to chop your guards out bigger in anticipation of big rubber.

the 4wd indicator light is in the actual gauge cluster bit, it lights up when in use and is kinda hidden from view when in normal 2wd

Since your 'beginning', as a temporary measure,I'd just bog up the rust part and paint it to seal it from the weather. After you get it on the road and start to get the hang of the little chariot, the rust will probably start to come back through the gaurd. By this stage you will be keen as mustard for BIG (or at least bigger) rubber. Similarly, your skills will have developed and then start cutting the gaurds. I'd be finding an engine/g'box and getting it on the road first, and then starting the mods.

Ignore all of the above if you believe your skills are 'up to it' and start cutting and welding to make a little monsta truck. You just need to be confident that you can finish the job in quick time before you get frustrated and give up, leaving a half finished (worthless) project in the back yard.

Build it small, drive it big (to quote Greg).

Well said drewfus I think you need to drive a stock rig to get used to it then build up from there an learn to appreciate every little mod. Its a great start for a youngster and it looks in pretty good condition. It will be good to see all you progress as it comes along. Sometimes we all need to see the minor tech stuff so that we can work on your own cars.

Keep us updated

i think i will just do the best i can without full on big work and just bogg it up and respray it and get it road worthy im working on a motor at the moment only a 1.0 but it will do

will a swift motor bolt up to the sierra box with out mods

The 1.3 litre swift motor will bolt up no worries .. The 1.6 swift motor requires either an adapter plate or gearbox mods ..

The 1.0 in good nick is actually not a bad little motor and can be supprisingly effective .. and with smallish rubber also very very frugal (best tank I ever got was about 500kms out of 35 litres .. not bad for a pre-jesus carbed motor)

Oooo! post no.1.... Had to wait until Greg left though, couldn't stand the flaming!

Is it just me or is that a 1.3 litre dash in A 1.0litre tub??? Not that it is that important, but the fact that there is no brake booster inthere would seem to indicate that this might have been a potential problem. A member here in melb has just fitted a 1.6 litre booter to a 1.0 litre, but did have access to a 1.3 litre firewall to do it.

only 1300 swift to 1300 sierra 5 speed box will bolt on.
won't bolt to a 1 lite 4 speed, though a 1.0 litre swift may? christover

did they make a 1.0 swift

zukin4life wrote:did they make a 1.0 swift

yes, with a G10 engine I think

would the head of the 1.0 swift motor be diffrent from the head of the 1.0 sierra motor or are they identical can some plz tell me

I'm pretty sure than the distributor drive will be different. ( it points straight out the back of the head on swifts, and has a right angle drive on the Sierras. In the case of a 1.3 swift to sierra swap, the head can be swapped, but the cam from the sierra must be re used, adding a fair bit to the job.

Is that exactly how you bough the car? It looks to me like someone thought they would build themselves a 1.3 and realised that it was more throuble than it looked like. However, it does allow the possibility of fitting a 1.0 litre dash to a 1.3 for than old skool feel.. or am I the only one who likes the whole oldskool feel of a 1.0?

well that how i got the it cost nothing except the $90 for the tilt tray um but i got given a 880cc bottem end like basically from the pistons down

nice project man!
how long do ya think till its finished?

a year at the earliest there isnt as much work as i thought likeh alf of it i can do myself like all the inside of the car is easy

the engine and stuff will be the most time consuming but i am going to rebulid every thing like take the diffs off and rebuild them

does the 1.0 transfer case have half decent low range ratio cus i got a bit of a scare on the long week end

we were in a quarry and we had to revers down and it just ran away heaps fast down the hill

forgot to add that the freinds sierra was a 1.3 and the reason why we were reversing was we got stuck

thats wat ya get for unexpeirenced drivin!

witch bit are you talking about it running away or getting stuck

both i guess,

well the area just wasnt really good for the zuk

and i now have a soft top for my car its a bit old and has a hole in it that has been repaired but its for free so i cant complain

when i got my zook it cam with a sort top i couldnt complain!
