Good write up. Always good to read about Zuks!

I can vouch for BenTs rear disc brake kit - I installed one on my 413 ute. much better stopping power and you never need to clean them out

Awesome work mate!!! Cheers Heath! Went for a 40k drive yesterday - It seems LJ's are in a league of there own when comes to being slow. Getting upto speed is ok but the motor seems happiest at 60 - 70kph. I cant really expect a 1980 Zuk to perform like a modern car though. I did have an issue ...

So after a bit more work including fitting the original bumper, pulling out the engine to fix the slipping clutch and grabbing a couple of lap belts from pick a part I finally managed to get one of these... http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0908_zpsb5d37300.jpg Very ...

That would be cool

Have done a little more work.. Didn't like the plain white wheels so I found some spray can in my parts department - I like the way they came out. Fitted all the lights back in too. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0886_zpsbcdb347d.jpg http://i464.photobucket.com ...

Sweet. I'll be there

looking real good Scot ! I think I have a spare wheel carrier for you , and yell out when you want to copy the front bumper / soft top stuff. Who did the windscreen glass for you ? Thanks! - Spare wheel carrier would be awesome As always back in the day I was given a full LJ80 Softtop in mint ...

More progress - Not far away now http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0833_zps8e439705.jpg http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0832_zps953a97cb.jpg http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0831_zps638e9414.jpg http ...

Looking good!

Update time again... Am I sick of doing body work!!! Bought some paint - An original factory colour called Grecian Ochra (I think that spelt right?) So spent this weekend painting - Came out ok.. Pics Did the front clip seperatly along with the bonnet, windscreen frame and hinges. http://i464 ...

Stay on Wilson road till you drive past the lake on your right hand side - Just as you get past the lake there is a turn off on the right. This is the start of the track - It skirts around the edge of the lake then up through part of the forest then out to the beach. Becareful on the track as it ...

Any pics of the 80?

With the new body at home I rigged up chain block to get the old tub off. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0560_zpsa69ca320.jpg Once high enough i just pulled the chassis out http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0562_zps25d95e98.jpg Naked ...

So whilst at DB's collecting the above items i saw the original tub he had been working on for 'Project Wombat' m I love the shape of the original LJ's so a week or so later I went back down and dragged it home Although it had had some major work done to it already it was still in need of quite abit ...

Awesome Work! Labour of love . Are you aware there are differences between the LJ50 and LJ80 windscreens? the way the support brackets mount to the cab and the soft rail attachment are different . from what I can see in the pics looks like you have 2 lj80 ones to work with , but worth checking ...

Time for a update. I've done loads of work to this but forget to update here. First up I wanted to change the windscreen back to a original unit as the one on here looked horrible. Dieselboy came to the rescue here he had a couple at his place kicking around so I zipped down and grabbed them. While ...

Was going to use this for project but didnt happen.

Quickest build ever on ORE?

Pics of the LJ please

Back in the day when LJ's got there factory lights broken it was much cheaper/easier to go down to the local Repco and buy some trailer lights as they were a similar size apart from there height. I had no joy with finding some original ones so i bought some new trailer ones. So they didnt stick out ...

Roommates http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0353_zps65d36cc5.jpg Did'nt like the Mitsi Cordia bonnet scoop and also the bonnet was missing the factory vents. - Many hours later... The vents could do with being enlarged a bit more, will address this in the future. http ...

First proper mod - Disk brake front end. Had a spare SJ410 front end lying in the parts dept... Stole some parts from it. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Lj80/DSCF0334_zps7eacaf7e.jpg Had bought a bunch of new parts including Bearings, CV's, seals, Brake caliper rebuild kits ...
