Rigpig

Ordered May 27th, arrived today. Seawings was great for over border stuff, but didn’t even get out of my pyjamas to go to the airport for duty/customs, DHL to my door. Slick!

Slow on updates... Again The VD fits so tightly... Even in the chassis intended for it. The turbo outlets/ inlets have actual reliefs in them for the steering shaft.... Have to install everything in order to make it fit! Had to make a slight...

Interesting how the ad says RHD yet the truck isn't.

I see what you mean!

I'm a bit confused about this one. Looks LHD from photos? But late model 1hdft diesel? Maybe European model. Must be something wrong with truck to be priced so well. Or maybe scam...

Looked at it yesterday, good guy. Good project for someone but more involved than i have time for.

Getting another custom 80 FF rear axle set up for a customer. Setting up Eaton E-lockers for another.

Do it!!!

I prefer amayama over megazip too. Seems like shipping is more reasonable. Half the time it seems like I have to use more than one shop to get everything. Also, for generic s*** online auto parts in aus are pretty good. Their knuckle kits were...

Unverified but I read that Engines Australia has a dealer in Canada and prices could take a leap. I’ve had some actual pushback from a couple of production companies in Australia that told me to go thru the ‘dealers’. So the $3K product was now...

Good to know. Been a while since i've ordered anything for a cruiser, been all about the domestics for work trucks the last several years. Time to get back into picking away at the projects and see what's happening with parts procurement.

You can also check Amayama. They ship out of both Japan and UAE. I prefer them over Partsouq. Placing an order is a bit cumbersome, and can take a while to collect parts in Japan before shipping, but I don't think I've ever had just a partial...

Just cuz.

Anyone looking for a 6000 watt genny? Making room in the shop-offers.

Doing a LHD drive swap on an 80. Need as complete as possible(frame/shell/interior/axles ideally etc...). Engine/transmission NOT needed. Any leads appreciated. Thanks!

The only complaint I've ever had with partsouq is if you order 10 things, and it turns out one isn't in stock they'll send the other 9. So if that one thing was supposed to match with something else you ordered you're stuck. In my case it was...

The gearbox crossmember, I was able to shimmy the engine back a fair bit from where I first had it which makes every thing clear the sump, but it means I almost miss the crossmember, this was my solution. I used the gearbox mount from the...

Did the PartSouq thing on this partial 1HDT refresh. I'll have a look at the Aussie site and compare.

Picked up a treadle sewing machine ;) Rough estimate is a 1954 Adler 30-1. The 90+ year old man I bought it from purchased it in the 80s. It’s a patcher, making it possible to sew in even the tightest of spaces. I’ve used them often. Mostly...

No, don't know him, sorry.

Buy it. Just up the road from me. You could stop in for a beer or twelve and head home!

Selling my CDN M101 with Cruisin offRoad mods (steel lid with gas struts, tail gate, spare tire mount, stabilizer brackets, rear receiver hitch) listed on marketplace for 5k, but IH8MUD discounts apply. Tent and rack in the pics are long gone...

So far this year my 'Weber' is winning the top tool award.
