Hi all,
New to the Pajero world but been mucking around with cars forever.
Been wanting a wheeling rig for ages to run with my mates patrols and cruisers but didn't want to destroy the family heirloom 2 door RRC or bust up my daily driver Amarok.
I'm an idiot so have to be different, but also has to be capable and cheap.
I'd been helping a good mate with his SWB Pajero over recent years and mentioned I'd love to get my hands on it when he was finished with it. Unfortunately that time came much sooner than anyone expected when he was killed in a workplace accident April 2017. I've been helping his family begin to sort out his estate and the old Pajero came up in conversation so after some discussions a deal was struck and now it's my intention to finish what Pete started and see this thing throwing Rooster tails across Fraser Island.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any kind of build log or record keeping so I'm discovering what needs to be finished as I go. It should be a wicked little rig when done however.
What I know so far:
SWB Pajero 96ish model
3.5 quad cam swap
Haltech Sport 2000 ecu
individual coil conversion
custom (big) turbo setup
body lift
lots of neat custom Fab work
@*$#@*$#@*$#@*$#ed paint
Ignition circuit is fried so cranks but won't fire
Plan is to tidy, finish, register and drive the wheels of it plus scare a few unsuspecting victims at roll racing etc.
Some pics:
If there is a better spot to put this build thread can the mods please let me know. Look forward to learning all about these things and documenting the ongoing build
