WHAT A BARGAIN?! Awesome base for more work. Slightly high mileage but you've got turbo diesel with a locker too.

That is a nice find...

Is it an aftermarket engine swap or factory?

Somebody, please buy it before some bonehead does...

But it's silver = chrome...

You don't find that every day...

man if you don't buy it I'll find a wayy to get it, trust me I'm an idiot. I need a nother car because 4 isn't enough

What a perfect point to start from.

Can someone go check that thing out and see what donk is in it!!?!?!?!?!?!

I'm going to gues it's probably the 1.8 out of a Hiace van or Tercel I looked into to getting one a while back but it was hard to gurantee the quality through a jap engine importer because of the low numbers then, but would be a great engine

I don't see any probs with that...

they look like stocko wheels to me not mags

Yeah, but it's the silver paint that makes the difference :wink:

yeh id buy it with no wheels for $4990

its a good buy

go on DirtPigs, buy it ....BUY IT!!! do it do it

maybe for $4000 it'd be ok, does it look like a soft top sierra that's been chopped up with a custom tray, and fibreglass roof/back?

mmm diff lock would be $500 worth?

No dents? (has it never been 4x4ing?)
I dont think i'd feel comfortable trashing that one.

86 model...gettin old for $5000?

if it dint say it was an 86 model i wouldnt have known

it looks good for how old it is

I am really tempted but I have a few logistical probs...

1. I am in Hong Kong until late Dec.

2. It is in QLD and I will be in NSW when I get back and I will be run off my feet when I get back....

It looks like a little ripper to kick off with for a project zook.

I would consider buying it if I could get up to see it...

I think DirtPigs is inlurve

$600 bull bar?
$200 snorkel?

are they extended shackels?

silver paint!! oooo baby

i can check it out for you 8) maybe!!

then fly up and drive it home, youd leave at 8am and be home in the afternoon (sydney that is) late in the afternoon

hmmm...

YGM.

If that is the Tercel or Hiace Turbo deisel then a dual case set up is easy as to set up.You use the 4wd gearbox from one of these vehicles which has the T-case attached but has a left hand output which can then be used for a PTO drive. Then run the stock suzuki T-case behind it as well.

That is cheap as if it is complied.

Anyone know where in Bris Quality Car Finders is?

Tony, Rob has offered to check it out for me tonight / tomorra.

If it is as good as it sounds, I am dead keen to buy the bugger. Would be a perfect DD for me and I have the $$$ ready now. I need a DD as soon as I get back to Oz.

Quality Car Finders is an agent that scours over 250 car-yards and advertises the best it finds.

the car in question has got an izuzu 1.8 turbo diesel out of an import gemini 5sp box and is well put together l200 radiator drive shaft swapped front to rear . it goes quite well as i know the guy who built it as i helped with some minor dramas he had.just buy it as it is a good buy
cheers mick

Thanks Mick. I'll follow it up with the dealer tomorrow.

I am dead keen to get it.

If you wouldn't mind, could you PM me with your comments on the "minor dramas".

Thanks,

Apparently the stock gemini 1.8L diesel puts out about 40kW and 105 N.m... It would be sweet if the turbo boosts that up to 70hp (53kW) & approx 180N.m

for comparison... carburated 1324cc, 4 cylinder, 4-stroke, 64HP (48kW) , 100N.m

TE Diesel Gemini 5 sp gearbox had the M76 designation. I'm still trying to find out what the gearbox ratios were.

Awesome JK. Hope it checks out and that you get a bargain. Hell I'd buy it.

I don't want to sound critical but weren't the Gemini deisels the worst deisel ever made. I drove one once and you could have pushed the car quicker.
I think Keltek in the USA make a conversion kit to fit the 1.6 turbo deisel golf moters in sierra's.
I looked into it a little but you can't get the motors in AUS.
I hope I haven't killed everyone's excitment.

I have to agrea with Sam the Gemini Deisels were a total POS.

Ruff
You seem to be spending a bit of time lately browsing this forum don't tell me you are thinking of converting.

There are only 2 other rigs i would ever consider wheeling and one of them is a Zook

Whats the other??
By the way how are the repairs coming along? Are you still using a body or just all tube??
