Not sure it's a 83 ! vent in front cowl is 1970 ish. disc brakes up front, 5 speed, power steering ? photos of interior and dash and motor ?
Looks like she has had body work done in the past, how many km or miles on her ?
Cheers

For non-US market trucks, when heaters were deleted the fresh air cowl vent was added instead.

Was at least an 83 originally from the upgraded center console IMO.

Thanks for the information. I'm getting to know my car more and more from this forum.

Roof and back doors coming down.

It's rare to see registration numbers on all side of glass penals. It is part of ministry road transport department's low tech anti theft solution, only cars from the 70's and 80's have them.

I feel like driving it just as it is.

Salvaging a broken hood hook

It's a colourful rig. Original green, yellow and white.

Good luck to your build.
I know it can be hard to find out parts in msia,but you can find lots of mechanical parts at the many places who sell halfcut.
I was just in Kk last august,climb Mt Kinabalu,some family still lives there.
Do u know Ryan at Kk 4x4?

here are some of pictures of what i can find

2 doors RM3000=$750

Under Windshield RM150=$38

B engine RM7800=$1950 , how is this price compare to your country?

Hi guys, are there any sound insulator to reduce engine noise coming into the cabin?

 

[alberta mac]

Other than underhood insulation the only thing is aftermarket products.

I used sound deadning material in the roof under headliner, back tub, foot wells & has greatly reduced the cabin noise. Comes as a sticky backed aluminum sheet, check ebay or if you can find the manufacturer & get it direct save some bucks

Great advice, I'll check out what we have here in Malaysia

 

[alberta mac]

I think you would be better to prep and paint the inside floor bed before sticking down the deadening material. and perhaps Rhino line the underside body while your at it !
just my two cents

 

[Yamabalu]

paint off

mr.bondo is ready for undercoat

What colour??? you going for??

 

[Yamabalu]

undercoat is ready, progressing faster now because his workers are free to work on my rig.

 

[Yamabalu]

What colour??? you going for??

I like darker color for a few reason, i'm tired of cleaning up oily finger prints that mechanic leave and second reason, i park under a tree that release tiny spots on the white paint (sorry i don't know how to explain this), and some people will burn my car if i chop down the tree. So I would like to have a darker color for a change.

I'm thinking of toyota's magnetic gray, i like the color and i'm using this picture as a reference.

 

[Strategic1]

Have a look at Skydogs posts on colour you might be on the same page. Cheers

 

[Yamabalu]

yeah~ just the way i want it, dark
