I've installed a reconditioned drive shaft courtesy of Driveline Services (Brendale) who had both shafts in stock All I need now is an exhaust system, then put the radiator and support panel back on, replace the fluids - radiator, sump, brakes & its driveable.(as an auto ).

I had a look at this one when it was for sale in Palmwoods Qld. It is bolted to a stretched LJ80 chasis and drivetrain, the body has been converted to 4 seats. I didn't buy it as it was priced at $9000.00 - an LJ80 can be had much cheaper. Rather have a Sierra. (or the yellow concept in my gallery)....

Hotrodders often use this style wheel. They are as Brayden suggests chromed steelies, usually reversed rims. You can find manufacturers in Aussie magazines like "Cruisin'" . May be hard to find a size to fit an MB.

Starter solenoid, temp sender, reverse switch(auto trans) all give grief. I think I have most under control but that diagram would simplify things.

Thanks,
Gadj.

Fleebags parts are good they have been installed and the engine is back in place.

Thanks Brayden, My 'Boy could be roadworthy sooner than I thought!
If anyone has the parts needed, let me know - I may not want them immediately (the usual money problem) but I will need them soonish.
edit: I also need a flywheel.
Thanks again,
Gadj.

I would like to know what the following parts will cost second hand, please.

right hand c.v.shaft (including axle nut)
clutch pedal and pivot bolt
clutch cable

Your assistance is apreciated,

The Gt40R is an oil filled/oil coolled canister type coil & the GT40RT is of the transformer type. Both are suitable, both must be used with a ballast resistor. The only big difference is in price, the GT40R is the cheaper option.

I have finally got the engine and gearbox back where they belong but as I recieved the MB as a pile of parts, I have not been able to get all wiring back in place. I have been using a hatch diagram as a guide but as suggested elswhere on the forum it isn't the same as the MB. :cry: Could someone ple...

I was talking to another local zooknut (10-11-06), he says "Suziworks went broke" and "Mark is still able to suply parts". I do not as yet have contact details.

The best info I have for now - is that Mark is currently operating from home. (second hand advice, could be wrong). The Kayleigh Drive phone number had been diverted to a new number. Telstra were giving a message to advise the new number before switching it over - Every time I have called in the las...

Braden is pretty much right...... again.
The chasis & drivetrain is basically Vitara.

I have allmost finnished building a pantograph hinge setup under my chalenger canopy that allows quick removal & instalation of the canopy. Basically, the hinge assembly hangs on a rear window protector. I won't be able to build more (just in case you were going to ask) but I will be happy to po...

My MB rolling shell came as a freebie - I had to purchase the driveline.
For $400.00 I recieved an F8b mated to an auto, an F5a, a 4sp manual & a driveshaft.
Can I tell if I have the F8b 4sp without opening it up? and can I work out wich side c.v.shaft I have without fitting it up?
