Doug Sweetman · 2007-01-21T08:19:11+00:00

People, Well the sad day has come for me to sell my 73, which has been my trusty daily driver for the last 3 and a half years. I'm moving to something more comfortable as I am getting old and soft. But hey, theres still a baja in the shed, so thats ok.... I've dropped the price to $3500 or nearest offer now. Anyways, specs below and photos to follow; BODY No rust, all cut out 4 years ago, including two new pan halves. Colour is porsche guards Red, and paint condition is fair to good (hey, I gotta be honest). Stone chips on guards, and some other small damage is all. I put all new window rubbers and door rubbers in it, but the window scrapers are original still. Has Jap import celica front bucket seats, and new belts when I built her up. HAs a panasonic CD player and 6x9's in parcel shelf. New running boards 18 months ago. ENGINE 1835cc (69x92) built by Bill at Volkswest Counterweighted crank, rebushed and balanced stock rods New P&C's Whole rotating assembly balanced. Deep sump Brand new 044 heads, with 37 x 35 (I think) SS valves, HD springs. No porting on heads. HSC 2 camshaft. Twin Kadrons, recently rebushed and carby kit installed, with K&N air filters. Thunderbird 1 5/8" extractors GEARBOX SSP IRS, rebuilt by Chris at Volkswest 4 yrs (~30,000km) ago New pinion bearing, new reverse gear (~$900 rebuild) THE REST..... EMPI 8 spoke mags with 195 65 15's in good nick KYB gas strut inserts front and KYB gas shocks rear. Nolathane bushes in front end. New tie rod ends about 2 yrs ago. New front discs about 2 yrs ago, pads of same vintage. Good 2nd hand drums on rear. New rear wheel bearings about 2 yrs ago. SAAS sports steering wheel. Regularly serviced by Kurt at Vee Dub Repairs and spares. If you are intersted I can probably chase up most of the receipts for work done. Its a well sorted, very reliable great daily driver and I will be very sad to see it go. I've got a set of professionally lowered (not cut) springs for the front struts which can go with it too. Either U2U me, post, or call me on 041359 7035 (or 9419 9516) to talk. Sellers name Doug Sweetman. Address - Bertram, Perth W.A Cheers [ Edited on 23-1-2007 by Doug Sweetman ] [ Edited on 30-1-2007 by Doug Sweetman ] [ Edited on 11-2-2007 by Doug Sweetman ]
