AND New Zealand! LOL. In fact way more here than in Aussie, they've only got a handful & then only in Queensland. There are also a few Blazers (RHD) in South Africa too!

Oops yes, New Zealand too. I didn't realise that South Africa drives on the right hand side

Thanks guys. I'm currently waiting on a part coming from New Zealand, I have already received two deliveries from the USA.

She only needs a pitman arm but I decided to replace the idler arm, the track rod ends, the anti roll bar bushings and the ball joints when I had her stripped down.

I'll cleaned the underside with a wire brush and gave it a good cost of black protective paint, and I will do it with waxoil on top of that.

I ordered new tyres which I will get on once the pitman arm arrives and is fitted. I went for BFG AT/KO 235/75/15 OWL

I'll update as I get more parts.

Best wishes
Adam.

I ordered cheap parts as I wasnt sure what LHD parts fitted and what didn't. Now that I know what works, next time I will order Moog parts! The ones I got I cannot see lasting too long but they were only a few £ for the lot. The Moog parts look very strong.
