Ahh,they built em' tough in the truck factory back then...all those years and still no "ugly" rust
ENJOY

i have some doors for you mate wouldnt be much to post
do you need anything else ??
gotta rescue them i recently got a 1000 perfect from the wrecking yard $250
i was stoked
cheers

Hey lampy,

Nice one!

I love the 2 doors, got one shipped all the way up here. Cost an absolute fortune and I didn't even check it out before it was shipped (I was up here, photos only) so it was a bloody gamble. When she turned up it turns out she'd done 36 600 miles ever since day 1. So I was very happy indeed.

Seems you're making good progress. I'm yet to pull mine apart for new paint. Still waiting on paint for the A14 to go in and my H150 (thanks Brent).

Nice score and thumbs up on the rescue.

chris i am happy to help out a fellow 1000 owner as dedicated as you and by the way if you hear of any 2dr's in nsw or canberra area send me a pm about it ok?

What about gippsland victoria?

I think a guy had one for sale there, he definitely had a four door that was a bit tired.

Send me a PM for his email address, I'm not absolutely sure he has one though.

So lampy what have you got planned for this two door? Can I have the 'D with wings' steering wheel since you have two now?

hey as you all love 1000's here, i was just wondering if any of you would have a 4.375 ratio alluminium diff centre?

sorry clyons8 the steering wheel has already been taken by somebody else. It seems a lot of people are after them?

Started stripping paint today.
She contains quite a bit of rust. The spare wheel well is falling apart and the rear wheel arch has quite a lot. All fixable though

The suspension is being stripped and is off to the sandblasters soon

Needs all new ball joints and bushes which are going to be interesting to locate

Might turn into a daily driver later considering fuel prices at the moment

lower ball joints can be purchased on ebay or you could do a vannete front discs and hubs etc and you have to use the vannete ball joints and fit them into the upper and lower arms

Lampy the steering wheel to look out for looks like this, it's the sports option.

Sports Steering Wheel

I thought I had one but it may not happen, depends really.

So the next most favourable (for me anyway) is the one that you sold.

How many miles has the new addition done?

The clock says 13800 but it has definatly gone round once or twice

That sports option it a nice wheel!

I was having a look at the vanette option a few weeks ago. Wasnt there some issue with the steering arm being heigher up. (bump steer problem??)

Also is the Vannette 4 or 5 stud. Where im living at the moment all the wreckers have never seen a vanette. I dont really want to go to 5 stud

Sounds like a great option if the above issues are sorted
