[FS - QLD] NON VW - 1988 Suzuki Sierra - Beetle Swap
Allbones - August 14th, 2012 at 12:14 PM

Seller: John Ducat - 0430560701

Make/Model: Suzuki Sierra - 1988 LWB

Location: Ipswich 4305 QLD

Condition: Used - Good Condition

Price: Offers $8-9000 or Swap for pre 67 Bettle & Cash depending on value of beetle (preffered)

Reason: Ive been looking at getting a beetle for a while now, & I would like to see if there is anyone out there that may be interested in my 4x4. I love this car, and this is half hearted as I don't want to see her go, but I cant have two cars on the go, so If I were to get either the money or the car I would like, and the car would go to someone who would have the oppoutunity to use it/appreciate it more then I, I cant see the argument for keeping it.

Modifications:

- 1.6L EFI X90 engine - Engineered in QLD, only about 5000Km's on the clock, have reciepts and warrenty on engine still.
- 6.5 Reduction gears & 3.7 Diff Ratio
- Custom Transfer Case Cradle/Guard
- 2" Body lift
- 2"Transfer Case Lift
- Wide Track Diffs under NarrowTrack Chassis (Closer fulcrum = more articulation, also means wider stance and more stability)
- Chrmolly Front Axels & CV's
- ARB Bulls Bar, Custom Steel Rear Bar
- 100mm Longer reverse eye custom leaf packs F&R (includes one spare front & rear leaf pack)
- Bucket Seats
- Twin Stick Offroad Formed Sliders (sill guards) - Brand new, never fitted
- Twin Stick Offroad Fuel Tank Guard
- CD player, Alpine 400w amp & Alpine 'S' 6" splits.

It is used, it does have one noticable scratch on the front drivers guard. Will also provide new front parkers/indicators as the current ones are zip tied in place due to the screw holes degrading with age.

Please let me know if there is any interest.

Bump.

I know its a long shot but hey, someone may want a 4x4 instead of a beetle, haha. Now considering offers around $10000, give or take.

Just a suggestion :), maybe take off the sierra body and fit a beetle body to that beast chassis of yours! Then come hit the dirt with the vw baja and buggy guys :lol:

Chris.

Haha, you sound as bad as the suzuki boys I wheel with. Dont imagine I would keep up well though, it has an 88:1 (or so) crawl ratio in low 1st, lol.

Problem is I'm not finsing enough time to use it, I'd rather a nice cruiser that I can daily drive and enjoy everyday.

Bump, price drop.
