Being a new member to this forum I thought I would post a few words/pics about my new Frontera aquisition:
The old man has had a Frontera for over 10 years and I have always liked the look and power of the Frontera. Only a few problems...1. Clearance....and 2 Clearance..
So recently I purchased a 2001 MX LWB Frontera for $1400. Body is in mint condition and interior is good...Engine not so good 350 000kms so here is what I have done/doing to it:
1. 2 Inch Lift with upgraded torsion bars (Done) $1000 - Didnt realise what a pain in the @rse it is to wind up the torsions bars
2. Fitted BF Goodrich 30's with black sunnies (Done) $1400 - Being a 2001 I thought I would have issues with the 15 x 7 rims with the front brake calipers - however fitted them up and have no clearance issues.
3. Rebuilt 3.2L 6VD1 (Booked for fitment early Jan 2013) - $4000
4. LSD Diff installed in rear (Done) - $150
5. Autolocker for front diff (Done) - $500
6. Custome Extractors with 2 1/2" Exhaust - (Bought waiting for engine to be done) $1100
7. Cold Air Intake (Bought not fitted) - $300
8. Remove Fuel tank and replace with custom made 100L for under rear boot - (Currently being fabricated) $400
So I am thinking for around $9000 I will have a pretty decent/capable fourbie...
I will upload some pics shortly to show the progress
Any thoughts on any other mods you would suggest let me know....
