basically, a series of rubbish events recently have led to this. however i will ONLY break the car if there is enough interest, coz i dont want to end up with half a car!!
so its a 1986 sprinter, which i aquired a couple years ago by swap with a guy on here, but its only been in the uk since 2010. i got the car and drove it around for a few months then took it off the road to restore, as it had a few areas of rust.
since stripping the car, ive not done alot to it, just pulled all the filler out the arches, exposed a few rusty areas, and done a bit of welding under the nearside rear side glass and rear ight area...
it was a beautiful looking car when i got it, and this is the sale thread from when i got it:
http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-cars-sale-private-sales/153613-1986-sprinter-trueno.html
by reading that, you will see it had a couple of other problems when i got it too, which havent been sorted. my intention was to replace/upgrade when i was building.. those problems include:
pops out of 2nd gear,
diff ideally in need of a rebuild but still locks,
front balljoints & wheel bearings could do with being replaced,
brakes need replacing,
rust..
anyway, it looks nothing like that now... lol its completely stripped down to a shell:
so, to sum up... it was and could be an awesome car again if someone was to buy the whole lot and build it up.. but in my position it would be financially better to sell every nut and bolt seperatly. however, deals could be made...
along with all the obvious parts of the car (doors, bonnet etc.) there are some interesting patrs too... some listed below:
Kouki front bumper with Zenki Splitter
AP Front Coilovers, TRD green rear shocks with unknown (chopped) springs
14x7 Watanabes' on 195/45 Tyres (et-27 front with the hubcentrics, et-2 rear)
30mm Hubcentric Spacers on the front
HKS Manifold
Custom Single Box Exhaust (by Infinity Exhausts)
Standard European-spec oil cooler
TRD Engine Mounts
BV Extra Steering Lock Kit #2
Cusco Rear Roll Cage
Recaro Profi SPG drivers seat
Recaro Speed passenger seat
Luke 3-point Harnesses
Water temp, oil temp & oil pressure guages
Nardi Steering Wheel on DW quick release boss
TRD 2-way diff
Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Rod
Fully Polybushed
also have a full cusco roll cage, and a set of 14" ssr mk1 wheels, and a brand new set of 195/40/14's (cant remember make, but can check)
if you are interested in the car or any part of it, pm or text/call me, as it will keep the sale thread more concise..
oh, and colletion would be much prefered
norwich area, norfolk...
thanks, james
