Who0oo! A bit of progress on the Boy! Looks epic! I'll need to come up and see it one of these days... maybe I'll drive mine up and see you?

Cheers fellas, it was quite an epic... mentally it took me a good few days to get over the whole caper! Wouldn't mind picking up a MB for the missus somewhere down the line! Though I'm not sure how receptive the rest of her family would take that one... Been getting the whole "That tiny car's d...

Well! That was quite an eventful maiden voyage! Thankfully not of Titanic proportions. After having got my RWC two days prior - you would think that the car would have been road-worthy... It wasn't. The journey from Devonport to Glaziers Bay (home) is 334 kms pretty much all on the highway and if yo...

Got my RWC Today!!!!!!! IMG_2182.JPG Again a big thank you to all contributors of information on this forum, your help has been invaluable to getting the boy to this stage. It's been a big push over this last 10 days to get it ready but it seems that the hard work and time has paid off. Now I got me...

Well if worst comes to worst mate you've got one MB for your procession

Well guys - the time has come for just that - The RWC. If you've read the thread then you will probably understand why this is a big deal. This car was off the road, barely running and ran like shit when it did. A paddock-bashed-paddock-basher that I've spent about 12 months of free time over the la...

Got a canopy in Tassie, might be convinced to part with it as I'm not sure I like it. Is postage over Bass Strait going to cost a fortune though?.....

Hey Matt,

The black outer piece of rubbery plastic - you pull upwards to remove.

The silvery felted piece on the inside - you pull towards where the black window seal sat.

I got some spares if you bust 'em dude

I'd be surprised if anything made of rubber was in great condition after sitting in a paddock for two decades. Even the window rubber was fine Brayden, in comparison that Swift that I wrecked - you could break it into bits with your fingers... All that said - 'great condition' is maybe a slight ove...

The rear axle is about 14cm too wide, so you'd have fun trying to fit it under the rear of an MB! ... Point taken... Could be cool though... Jokes! Lol, looks like I'll be building that trailer after all! :D Like I said, the only section of my MB not in need of any attention was the rear axle, all ...

Awesome Paul, It's best to get permission from the creator of the info, And like I said, I'll make sure you're credited for your knowledge buddy. I'll be taking a read through your project today to make a few notes etc...

Quick update - Scored a pair of MK3 Swift GTI rear disc hubs. Great condition - from a vehicle that was wrecked for the engine. Came complete with some brake cables + a prop valve which may or may not get used. I'm really looking forward to this one. compressed7.jpg The only part (or cluster of part...

so have you got the g10 in or not? also note you scored air con, a real find! good work. a lot faster than me. must get stuck in before I croak. Thanks buddy! The G10 install's going to be the Winter project, just getting it registered as is (543cc 2 speed auto yawnmachine). Yeah, the Air Con's kin...

Hey dude, I have one of those going from a Swift I just wrecked, I'm all but certain they're the same.

Just a suggestion, but given that there's already a build thread for your ute it might be less confusing to keep all the progress and conversion info in that thread. When you're done we can combine it with the info from Paul's build thread to create an article for the workshop section of the websit...
