No engine, no gearbox, no front diff.
waiting for photos of engine bay.
not sure if transfer case has also been removed...
They want 40k.
I think it is too much, opinions on this?

I would say that is too much, a turbo motor is going to set you back at least R70K plus all the other bits plus all the work to put it together again, would be cheaper to buy a running one!

also though so.
prices i got from jap auto:
“Td42 R45000
Td42 turbo R54000

Gearbox is 4x4 R10500”

excluding diff and other bits, excluding labour...

I remember one about a year ago selling for 25k, & it was complete, just the motor was in pieces.

Not sure I would take that if it was free. It would cost more to restore than to buy another one.

That is only good as one of two things:
  • Scrap
  • As a frame to start with for a Monster Truck

Will cost you more to make this one run again than just buying one off a showroom floor

Either way 40k is way too much
