Been looking for a Mighty Boy for a while now, just waiting for the right one to pop up locally for the right price i guess...
Anyway, i picked up my first MB yesterday for $500. It's the one i posted here - http://www.tamon.org/forum/viewtopic.ph ... &start=390. I gave the guy a call on sunday, drove down to Jimboomba monday, got a 1 day rego and drove it home
Did the 2.5 hour trip on 100-110 km/h no worries!I'll tell you a bit about it.
Someone had attempted to steal it and stuffed the ignition barrel, so i had to stall it to turn it off and hot wire it to start it. As soon as i got home i fixed that problem temporarily and made it button start (see pic below).
It already had an F8B conversion done, and it has the secondary throttle linkage mod done too:D (see pic below).
Has some sweet re trimmed seats in it, which are in my Hatch for now. Also has a dash mat (LOL) and a tacho, which is pretty cool
Only bad points i've found so far:
-Small dent near drivers side head light, nothing some gentle persuasion with a hammer can't fix.
-Tiny bit of cancer in the middle of the tray, about the size of a 20c coin (see pic)
-Blows a heap of smoke and some oil out of the little air breather filter on the tappet cover(see pic)
-Me, being the dumbass i am, forgot to ask for the freakin' keys... how stupid is THAT
. Luckily the guy i bought it off is sending it too me though 
.-Paint is faded/chalky. a good cut & polish should make it a bit better.
Plans for it: Steal the alternator, seats, tacho and maybe the carby for my Hatch, since the Hatch is rego'd and is my daily and what not. If/when i can track down another alternator i'll fix the MB up. Needs a few things for it to pass roadworthy, blah blah blah. It'll be on the road eventually. I was gonna give it an Aussie Export panda style paint job, but i'm pretty sure another user on here already has something similar going on with his MB.
Thats about all i can think of now. I'll leave you some pic's to have a geeze at.
Pic showing lack of ignition barrel and temporary button/switch start.
Since i'm a dumbass and don't have keys for it yet, i can't lock it. So at the moment you could just walk up to it, open the door, push the button and drive off. SO... I installed a car alarm in the tray
Thats my purebred male Staffy, his names Cooter. Loves being in the back of the MB and refuses to get out sometimes.
Cancer
Interior after a much needed clean. Those homo playboy seats are from my Hatch. The seat covers are basically holding a few chunks of foam together, roughly in the shape of a seat.
Secondary linkage thing. And my red, oily engine bay.
Got it yesterday and put it straight to work today. Loaded the back with rocks and drove it from my front yard into the back yard and dumped them there. 2 trips in the MB, would have taken around 30 with a wheel barrow. Gotta love it
Aaaaannnd a few pics of the outside.
That's it for now guys.
Cheers
Dave
