Bay Duel Cab Ute not for sale now
Looks like i`m going to have to sell my V8 Kombi Bay duel cab 78 model
Needs the horn fixed, a ball joint is a bit sqeaky/dry & boot torn,,, & it could do with a CV joint or 2 as they`re getting a tiny weeny bit
noisy now, can hardly hear it but they`re starting to click,,, But that`s about it.
I`m open to offers but around $22K would be about right, it`s recently had all Albins gears & mainshaft fitted throughout the "Thick-Rib 2L case
, with .7:1 overdriven top gear,,, & a Pelquin Limited Slip diff (plaentary gear type) & it`s just beautiful to drive
It`s also been fitted with a 2600Lb BMW clutch with the diaph pivot point changed to be easy on the clutch cable,,,& extra large throw-out
bearing,
I`ve also fitted a motha fker thermo fan (3500mtrs/min) but it just doesn`t ever need to be turned on tho, this car runs perfect temp everywhere.
Rear Tyres are just great, heaps of tread & heaps of grip,,, the fronts are getting low-ish, would still pass rwc tho i`d say
The Lexus quad cam Alloy V8 engine is just beautiful, smooth as a babys bottom & plenty of grunt... & is surprisingly cheap to run being
injected... there`s a custom fab-d alloy fuel tank, pressed Alloy computer designed & cut drop sides & tail gate (very nice) it`s also go
alloy checker plate tray cover, bull-bar, spot lights, tow bar, radio/CD player, Rhino roof racks nice appolstery, all round it`s a pretty clean &
tidy car.
In case you don`t know the car,,, here`s a vid of it--->

yeah Matty,,, it`s a very special car & also very close to my heart, i`ll talk to you soon about it,,, i have hit the bank for an extension on my
home load But i don`t hold much hope for a yes from them, i would have to actually make some money for them to be happy to lend me any more :-)
I have 2 of my Cooper"S"s for sale also,,, well,,, actully everything is for sale at the moment :-)
Mick,,, i`ll sort something out this week & get back to you,,, But first, do you have a std-ish 2litre kombi gearbox as an exchange so i could
keep this thing running "IF" i did split it?
