the new lux

Post by Petemcc »

Bought a rusty old double cab on the weekend cos it was cheap. Tray is rusty as body is straight with some surface rust a patch in each of the passengers side doors and a small bit on the floor but not too bad really. Motor and runnging gear are great in it. Though just today it started missing a little when below 2000 rpm. any ideas? Might try some new plugs, shouldnt be anything serious.

The plan!

Sell it and make some money if any one want to buy it its on tradme http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=190875490

in the mean time fix her up a bit and get some use out of it.

Frist i need to find some ok tyres for it as the ones on it are extreemly bald. looking to spend $200 - $400 for 31 or 32 inch muds (preferably 32's).

next i will look at hooking up the lpg kit that is in it. shouldnt be too hard, a couple of wires were dissonnected so it could pass a warrent at the tank is just out of cert. so need to hook it up and get tank certed etc.

then deal to the rust, slap on a coat of paint.

and if i come across any get some ok second hand shocks for it as the ones that are in at are stuffed.

Cheap is the plan dont want to really spend much money on it as i really bought it to make money and use for a few months.
