I'm sure it was the guys at GRP auto in auburn that built it. It sat in front of their place forever, but never seemed to go anywhere. A lot of show and no go back then, but i believe someone else bought it and fixed it.

It sat out the front because the guy who built it worked there. Where didn't it go?

The Guy worked there that built it , and drove it as a daily driver and done just about every comp from outback challenge woodpecker nissan trails willowglens you name it done it this thing was running boggers back when most where still thinking road track majors where the ducks .
I would say an absolute mirrad of mods where pioneered on this thing and filtered thru to the average zook owners ,
An awsome little car with a huge background .
Pics around 1997 ? milbrodale Jamboree .
Muruti roof came later ,
Where do ya get em.

Yeh has prob been around for about 8 years easy, one of the first majorly modded suzi's in aus i reckon. Competed in heaps of comps over the years and wheeled a hell of a lot more also.
Was built by Clint Adams ( i think Adams any way), was in the suzi club for years.
Was built many years before he started workin at GRP, and yeh was his daily driver as said.

Clint is near one of the best drivers to get behind the wheel of a Sierra. He designed and built the vehicle into one of the most capable offroaders of its time, knew it like the back of his hand. He didn't have to put Toyota stuff under it for strength characteristics. Driver ability was his strength.

I think he may have been thinking of your rig Liam when he said it sat at grp for years and it went no where.

Took Bog-oor out for a run on the weekend in the Otways fantastic trip got home and found we had a broken leaf in the rear looks like we have axel wrap.
Can anyone suggest anyone who can make up an axel wrap bar around Melbourne area?
I thought the guy that built the car would have ironed out all of these problems. Any information much appreciated.

My mate Joey Hall, who built this one in the photo, may have time to build you one? He's a little busy at the moment but it is worth a fone call. He has no net access at the moment, except for mine
so ring him on
0409 018 162
Otherwise cheezy racing make good stuff.
And 4Play in Kilsyth make them.

The reason for the BOG00R number plate is because Clint worked for qantas and he got the first ever set of super swamper boggers tyres in the country.Ive been going to jamborees since 91 i,ve seen that car go from standard to what it has become today and even saw him near right it off at Mt Seaview jamboree when he flipped it on the hill climb.

Note red Jimny in the background? I was there..... it lived, with Clint, at GRP for ages.
Argument settled - we have photgraphic evidence and a witness
Liam's lived at the *back* of GRP for ages while it was being worked on ( I know as I had to crawl around it to get bits from time to time) Clint's lived out the front during the day.
