My '79 V8 HZ Ute :)

Im not sure im gonna sell it now. Had too many people who've had them/know about them say how beautiful it is.

Rang a place who are meant to be good. Got quoted for 1500-2000 for power steering kit and installation, providing i find and supply the crank pulley... Little bit steep?

You'd be getting ripped a new one. $300-$400 should get you a complete kit and it is only about a 2 hour job to fit, at the most.

Thats the cheapest i can find for one, and that's reconditioned. Looked at all the parts separately and im looking at 600-700 for random bits here and there anyway. Can't find anything else, and can't find anywhere else who has them or can do them. Not quite sure how to go about it.

Over the next few days fixing some things up.

Installing:
Windscreen motor
Overflow tank/bottle
Fuel Filter
New Hi Performance Twin Thermo Fan

Fixing/Adjusting:
Alternator belt (too much play at the moment)
Rubber trim around the doors.

What does she really need?

I really miss my old uterus.....

Yeah but honestly i don't want a rusted 30+ year old P.O.S power steering unit. If its gonna cost me 300/400 more to get a new/reconditioned one i'd rather do that. But thanks for all the links mate

Power steering? Not needed man, it'll save you trips to the gym!

Haha i know man, but its getting to be a bit of a pain in the ass now. Gotten used to it, but its a pain trying to get out of places/parking stops etc. Would really prefer power steering haha.

I've driven mine on a daily basis for the last 5 years without it and can park the the thing anywhere, once your used to how big it is and how it steers you'll be fine, power steering on the old girls is quite vague to be honest, I had it on my ute. You get better feel through the wheel without, you get bigger arms in the process and you lose power with it, and the 2 fluffy fleas need all the power they can get.

But in saying that, I want it so somebody else can drive it too.
