Mitsubishi L300 4WD

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Hi guys,
bought me some work today:

Specs:
MY1989
302.000km
2.4l gasoline engine 111hp
5 speed
automatic locking hubs

Plans are:
-Remove all the rust (it`s not as bad as it looks)
-Skid plates
-Front bumper with winch, 2 8" HID lights and 4 6" HID lights
-Rear swingout with the spare tire, hilift, shovel and jerry can mount
-mild lift
-camper conversion

First thing is to get it ready for the TÜV, the german safety inspection. And i can tell you, those guys are really hardcore...

I`m going to pick it up on tuesday, can`t wait... :drool:

Those are the lights i`m going to mount:

The other 8" and the 10W LED is missing on the pic...

Congratz on your new ride!:Wow1: I can hardly wait to see that machine with 37´ boggers and 12 inch lift! Ok, only kidding. I am sure you will make it a nice ride. Any ideas for paint? If not, I have some great ideas.....

 

[T.Low]

Keep us informed. I like the potential.

I love the Mitsu 4wd vans! Looking forward to watching your progress.

Congrats ! And good Luck for the TÜV ... :sombrero:

Thanks guys...

TÜV shouldn`t be a big problem. Suspension wise it`s fine. There`s a little play in the passenger side front wheel bearing that`s all. I can just readjust this...

The rust looks bad, but it`s only the big spot on the driver side where the duct tape is. Also in the inner wheel wells, but that`s all. The rest is solid...

I`ll also remove all the rust from the suspension, underbody and stuff. Then i`ll give it a shot undercoating and it should look brand new...

I wish we could get mitsu's here. They are an incredible rig.

What is "here"? At least in Canada I've seen lots of them, and this made me buy one...

The USofA. There are a handful here, a few people that jumped through all the hoops to import one from Canada.

I have ridden in them in several third world countries, they are INCREDIBLE what they can do and how much they can haul--they are bigger on the inside than they are on the outside.

You mean like 2 gal. of water in a 1 gal. bucket right?:sombrero:

Got a smoking deal on those HID lights a few weeks ago:

This is how they look:

Can`t use the mounting bracket, so i removed them:

All the lights i`m going to mount:

Placed a huge order today: new welder, undercoating, rocker guard, bondo, lot of bodywork tools, safety stuff, etc....

Should be a lot of packages coming in next week... :Wow1: :ylsmoke:
