My BJ7 has finally arrived down under from the US.
It has an interesting history. Originally a LHD car it was converted to RHD (I
guess in the UK) and then shipped back to the US carrying a shipment of drugs!
It was intercepted and then sold by the FDA to the guy who then onsold to me.
The "restoration" is very average - good panels and paintwork (BRG) but tatty
details (missing many seals and the rust in the trunk floor was not replaced.
I am ready to get going and have a friend moving downunder who has offered to
ship the parts I buy in their household shipment. So am wanting to quickly buy
what I need stateside and need some guidance from the list.
The car is quick (triple 2" su's) and I am looking to pep it up a little more
and ensure the brakes and suspension match. The motor performance parts I want
to buy are:
- Tube shock conversion front and rear - Putzke kit (Bilsteins) vs. Koni
shockers? Any other kits available?
- Ventilated disc brake conversions front and rear.
- Brake booster
- Alternator
- Electronic ignition
- LSD
- 72 spoke x 6 inch painted Dayton wire wheels
- Alloy fliptop petrol cap and neck
- L/H footwell,floor and tunnel area insulation
Can the listers please advise what brand/ model you would go with in each case
and to whom you would go in the US for these parts.
Thanks
