Im up to my 2nd L200. Used to have a beat up ex paddock bomb with the 2.6, extractors, exhaust and lowered a bit. Loved this car! wish i never sold it!
Anyway, i came across the 1979 Chrysler D50, not sure how rare it is, but its one of 2 ive seen in all of Victoria so far! Same as a L200 as ive been able to tell so far!
Its got a 4 speed manual with the 2.0 astron.
Had only 64,xxx legitimate K's on the motor. It was used to tow around helicopters on a private airport in the middle of no where.
It had no real rust when i got it (has a bit in the tub now).
All ive done up to it so far is replace the clutch and service it.
For a while i wanted to make it look a bit 'old school' and that hot rod kind of look. But I've moved on since then and I've got some things in the works!
I picked up a 2.6 out of a scorpion for it, which is going to have no piece left untouched!
Anyway, heres some photos!
Ill find some more shots somewhere at some stage! It's sitting a lot lower not, but also defected and EPA'd.
Cheers!
btw this is a cool looking ute bmx537. Hope you get the defects off it and actually enjoy it again soon
