Chip, yup member na ko ng egroup, kaya lang medyo busy kaya di nakapunta sa EB. Muscle car nga sana, V8, (69 Mach 1?..hehe), kaya lang mahirap na nga maghanap ng maganda/running unit, nag-skyrocket pa prices nila lately, lalo na mga 67-68 Fastbacks.
Ikaw yata nagtanong kay slim-ding about restoration of a 240z sa kabilang thread, kakatakot nung possible cost

daming ding christmas party nong friday e kaya konte lang nakapunta pero still masaya. sama ka next time

oo, taas nga ng presyo ng mga fastbacks, taas din kasi demand e. personally fastback din preference ko over mustang coupe. overall kasi restoration, whether sa fastback or coupe or any other car, it will cost roughly the same (kapag same condition syempre hehe). in my opinon, kung magrerestore ka man lang, cguraduhin mo nalang na yon talaga gusto mo kasi halos parehas din magagastos mo.

hehe ako nga nagtanong tungkol don, gulat din ako sa sagot ni slim ding i was expecting mas mura kasi jap pero now na iniisip ko halos pareho nga kasi pareho naman tratrabahuin e. kaya medyo far-off dream nalang yung 240z.

wag ka lang magmadali, may makikita ka rin.
patience and contacts lang yan

Muscle car. I actually prefer the coupes over the fastbacks, but that's just me. I like the Karmann Ghia too, ***y novelty car.

Not that as a student I can afford to run a car much less a second one, kuntento nako sa Sarao/Hino/Rotem rides.

A BJ40 on 31" tires and a standard height suspension probably won't beat the bejeezus out of you. Going with bigger shoes and a higher lift can get pretty expensive and may open up a can of worms.

But I still can't believe how much sellers are asking for these things.

forgot to ask, for a stock tire/mags setup of a BJ40, i assume steering is not a problem, right? para ka lang din nagmamaneho ng owner-type jeep?

how much do sellers ask for a running unit requiring only moderate restoration?

[OTEP]

Units rarely fall below Php150k. Expect around 200k-300k for something with a roof, a/c and audio.

Rarely will you find an LC40 with stock tires. The stock wheels were steel rims and narrow tires. Parang sa mga jeepney lang.

My uncle must have been lucky, then... he got his for under 200k. But that was four years ago... and the unit needed (and still needs) quite a bit of work.

Lucky indeed! For a BJ40 power steering conversion, i usually hear the saginaw p/s mentioned. Any bad side when having this power steering installed on the BJ40? Like, is the steering feel/feedback compromised during highway speed, affects chassis strength integrity?
