mensch Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 That's a really sweet car. Definitely keep the tape deck; I wish mine still worked. You could always just pretend your car is kind of done in a rainbow paintjob...as in, pink to orange lol. I can't get over what excellent condition the interior is in. And you picked that up for $500??? Tell me if it passes its roadworthy test... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me if it passes its roadworthy test... yep, $500. i'll post up once I'm home the details of roadworthy. it should all be fine since i've replaced parker lenses and fixed wheel bearing issue, theres nothing else i can find that would be an issue, no leaks anywhere :cool: if it doesn't pass i'll be quite surprised.

Bring 4 front ends home, and youd have paid for the holiday. :bash: What more motivation does one need for a cheap overseas holiday? BTW, the parker lenses for quads are damn hard to find here. Bring over a dozen at least if you can find them. Edited February 17, 2009 by LittleRedSpirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, the parker lenses for quads are damn hard to find here. Bring over a dozen at least if you can find them. there was a lot of confusion about that due to language barrier. the holiday was already cheap already so i don't mind >_< the guy told me mine would be find but i doubted that. so what exactly do i need extra? beaver panel is out of the question. so it turns out i need parker lights? or JUST the lenses? because i'm fairly sure they guy i bought them off had the lights youre refering to.

To do the quad front 100 percent properly, I think you need gaurds, beaver panel, headlight assembly, grill, bumpers, and that thing that aligns it all up the middle. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I seem to remember a few people having problems finding the lenses for the quads. I think they are different but I'm not too sure really, as Ive never had that front end on a car Ive owned. Overseas markets had different lenses too. Yellow ones. Perhaps a member who has some quads lying around can confirm this for you... Send me a pic of the parker lense if you like, and Ill compare it to an adm one I have here. Measurements would be handy in the pic, lie a ruler under it if you can. The adm lights are an even height all the way round the parker, the quads taper up at the bottom and leave a gap in adm gaurds. Easy to patch up though for a perfect fit. You can use your existing beaver panel if you cut it, or just work over it like roo. Even if you bring home adm ones, you wont have an issue shifting them.

Hey Leah, Ive done some looking around, compared the photos of roos lights to ones I have here, if its not the same, its f@$king similar. I think I may be mistaken. Seriously though, a quadlight front will cost around $350-400 in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
