Yeah, it's just a baby carrier these days.
Not at all appropriate for that though - rock hard suspension, solid engine mounts, and poly bushed. Hit a wallaby a while back, luckily only cracked the bumper (and the paint, and dented the bonnet. Didn't damage the FMIC, apart from pushing back the mounts a little. Bought some new wheels for it, but need to decide on a colour for them. Otherwise I just drive it.

****n wildlife! When I hit a roo a few years ago it was similar. Shattered headlight, dented bonnet, pock marks in the bumper.
At least it's being driven! |

This will be the third set of wheels in 18 years.
As opposed to the AZ-1 which is like 7 sets in 3, haha. Needs some new AD08Rs for the front though, as they're a full slick now...lol

One of the CVs was getting pretty clunky, so had to throw some money at it.
So, - drivers outer driveshaft - both front wheel bearings - coolant flush - engine oil and filter - gearbox oil + nulon goo And it's like a new car. The front end is sooo much tighter now, it's amazing the difference.

ha, well I haven't done much to it in the last 2 years or so - so it was overdue for some attention.

So fresh and so clean. Nothing like a new set of wheels and a wheel alignment. After 10 years it was time for a change, I think.
