OTHER INFO:
Hokay I'm selling due to buying another wagon with three pedals. She's not a bad old beast and I'd keep it if CTP insurance wasn't so bloody expensive. check this out:
GOOD POINTS:
-Crow 4001 cam fitted 30,000km ago with new valve springs, new lifters, serviced heads, new radiator, new oil pump at the same time.
-2nd hand alternator fitted 20,000km ago
-VT brake upgrade fitted 10,000km ago
-New dizzy fitted in april 2008
-Kmac strut tops and swaybars
-new rear shocks fitted last month
-clarion cd player
-Velour upholstery
-powerpack options all of which still work except power antenna
-4 15*7 CSA delta 5 spoke rims, they're only 15's but i think they suit the car quite well.
-most suspension bushes replaced in the last three years
BAD POINTS:
-Carpark scrape on passenger side of front bar along with the usual dings and scratches for a 20yr old car
-couple of broken trim panels (passenger side boot trim and steering column cover)
-has steel rims on the back currently as I flat spotted a pair of tyres dodging a roo
-bottom end is getting a bit old 336,000km is getting on a bit for an original bottom end, still goes well and doesn't blow smoke
-torque converter lockup clutch no longer works - 1st through 4th work fine, just doesn't lock up
-A/C is not currently gassed - degassed it to fit the cam and never got round to regassing it. Dad and I might get round to regassing it before it sells, particularly if a buyer considers it make or break.
SPARE PARTS:
• 2nd hand radiator
• Brand new GMB water pump (cast impeller)
• 2nd hand A/C compressor
• 2nd hand starter motor
• Left and right headlights (minor cracking)
• Smaller steering wheel (too small for my liking)
• Original front brake calipers (with hoses as well I think)
• Spare 1 inch master cylinder
• Brand new pads, discs and bearings for original front brakes
• Eurethane front sway bar mount bushes (for when the rubber ones eventually die, I bought them two years ago and I’m still waiting)
• 4 steel rims with crappy Bridgestones.
• Any other random parts I have lying around
PICTURES: I will email pictures if requested
Beau Duke: Man, I'm never gonna get outta this car again. I'm gonna live in it, I'm gonna eat in it and I'm gonna make sweet love to it!
Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it.
Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.
