A little box sitting on my Desk at work this morning

An engine rebuild kit to stash away for when the time comes that I have run outa spare engines that go and fatory LJ50 Graphics to finish off.

Now just waiting for the call to tell me the doors are ready

I took it to work the other day. Looks ok with the hard top on, might just be a winter thing though, bikini top looks way better

Gonna be mint with the doors and graphics on :mrgreen:

Well, not exactly. The VIN man never got the chance to see it, all it needed was a WOF in the end

It is illegal to run those other wheels with out flares, and flares mean putting holes in the panel work.

So untill I figure out a way of fitting flares with out putting obvious holes in the panels, its riding on the stock LJ rims and 600 R16 tahs

I'm open to creative suggestions on how flares could be fitted with out peppering everything with holes!!!!!

Hey man, why was that? was your rego lasped? I ask because I have a car that I want back on the road and still have the plates, paperwork etc. So if i do not need a new VIN then that is a big saving.

WTF

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 289549.htm

oh wait, maybe its because apparently you don't have the best LJ50 in NZ according to ceduna :roll:

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:02 pm

This is the other comment I didn't reply to :lol:

Hi again, just noticed you have got modified front brakes off a later model with FWHubs added and the hard top is not supplied by the factory either its an oddball make... hardly an original vehicle is it. come see mine and you will enlightened Steve 0274 728897 ceduna (8 )

I'm sure he means well, it just doesn't come across that way. I wouldn't even try to claim Wombat as being "original", you've all seen the build thread :lol:

Here's an old article on his LJ50 that was written a while ago:

http://nz4wd.co.nz/articles/jocks-baby- ... uzuki-lj50

Sounds like a nice truck!!!!!!!

As for Wombat, well, it's only a half assed attempt a selling it, ya know, everything's for sale at the right price kinda deal :mrgreen:
