Twodogs G's don't cry. They take the pain with dignity and state, "thank you sir, may I have another?" | |

In addition, the fact that it started right up floors me. Life is good my friend and you are truly blessed. I am and I thank the big G for that.  | |

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | Re: To restore or not restore that is the question louwdj - 2/2/2007 7:28 PM Rather interesting considering it belonged to a hire company. Restore it, or this South African will join the Norwegians. Or export to South Africa. I have seen a few, almost similar but early 80's models here in S Africa. Such pick-up trucks are called a "bakkie" in this country. LDV (light delivery vehicle) in the UK? I think you are confusing RENTAL for RETAIL. ok restore it is, I'll get the T Cut out tomorrow | |

Any welder could always chop up and create another one from any SWB, nothing more unique than that about it. Oh, would you mind sending that wood trim to me? You won't need that while killing it  Here's a few shots of a factory SWB pick-up:  ] ] | |

| RE: To restore or To Restore What a FIND To restore it into standard condition it would cost you alot and you will always be looking for more restoration . To restore it to offroad and onroad condition would be a mild solution . ReG , Shebl Edited by Shebl 2/5/2007 6:54 AM | ||

| RE: To restore or not restore that is the question Another Idea if you don't want to restore , slab in 35" tires and it would be unstoppable . Soly was still using the M110 engine with 35" Boggers during this trial and the G was unstoppable ReG , Shebl (Barouk12.jpg) (Solbigfdown.jpg) (bb19.jpg) Attachments ----------------  Barouk12.jpg (38KB - 0 downloads) Solbigfdown.jpg (46KB - 0 downloads) bb19.jpg (103KB - 0 downloads) | ||
