Gday all, been reading this forum for quite a while. I find it highly informative.
Thought I'd better start contributing. So here we go.
Ive been interested in restoring a Moke for quite a while 10 plus years, when I figured it was time to actually do it, after much reading, studying what is involved ect.
So after much searching around I found a pretty decent 81 Moke. I was only interested in a roller, as I wanted to put a new powerplant in from one of the reputable vendors.
So it came with a powerplant ect, which I'm about to send off for exchange on a newly rebuilt 1100 "race engine" I simply don't know enough about engines to start fiddling around with these. So a drop in unit is perfect for me.
I'm about half way thru I guess, with the front rear subframes, suspension, brakes all refurbed or replaced. I put the 8 inch disks on the front and refurbed the drums on rear, with all new fittings, same fro all bearings subframe fittings ect. The subframes are painted using the KBS system, with their instructions to the letter. Came up great.
So this is basically a full nut bolt rebuild, the body, which I done a couple of repairs to. The drivers side floor replaced and a piece where the spare wheel flogged out with a new piece and a doubler to ensure it wont happen again.
Currently Mokey, my little friend is at the body shop getting new paint. I had the body sand blasted, and came up very nice. The body was in really good shape.
Ill try and post some pics
Cheer
