cool as. When we get our payout for the crash, im buying another Jeep. Then, the running gear out the lib may just find itself a new home in rupert. But thats a fair way away yet

I've seen a few of these touring wagons in the yards over the years - none have been an MPFI unit though.

I've always liked that colour too, but I'm still partial to the blue

Cheers

hopefuly ill get around to putting the springs in the back next weekend, and one day ill hook up the gauges. But im thinking i may have to flare the rear too. Also on the look out for some standard height roof racks, well only 1 really, for my spotties

Start your own thread, add some pics for interest - we all love pics! Then get into the problems you need to sort out!

so now has honda springs in the back with adjustable collar shocks. About 3.5 inch lift from standard. Picked up some adjustable front shocks today, so on the weekend, after i re-roof my pergola, ill bung them in with the ford springs and adjust them up to get it a bit more level. Currently looking for 1 l series roof rack to mount the spotties on. Still got the 13 inch alloys for sale, $180 ono

Stolen from here

I think you'll find these on the pre '87 L's when they still had adjustable suspension in line with the MY's setup...

an inch is an inch rsr! Today i put in the adjustable front shocks with the ford springs. Wound up all the way, but had slight camber issue, so backed them off a bit and all is sweet! He now sits about 1.5" higher in the nose, and a much better ride on road. Could almost say it 'handle', LOL! The big test will come this weekend when we go up to the riverland fishin

Oh sh*t yeah.. 1 inch more is all your missus would ever ask for

but you're right.. any extra is more than worth it. I was referring to the fact that it was only standard Subaru struts and not what first came to my mind (special aftermarket ones), so sorry if I miss lead you in my reply.

Aww com'on! You can't scrap a good L like that! That's sacrilege!!

All the best with finding a new owner.
