Project: SWB V6

[Racer-X]

Hello

I found another POS V6 project.

This time it is a 1998 Pajero Gen 2 3.0 v6 manual non blister fender.

I'll post some pics just now.

A brief history:
It belonged to a guy in Plett who let his employees use it.
They subsequently lost the keys.
The SWB then went to a local workshop who tried to get it running.
They went very successful.

Suddenly the employees found the keys.

When the previous owner went to the workshop to give the keys to the mechanics to get it going be discovered that, the SWB had been abused.

Immobilizer box missing
Sound system stolen
Battery stolen
Windscreen badly cracked
Side sliding window broken
Lights bulbs broken to use to smoke drugs, ()
Sand/ash all over the interior.
Cigarette butts between windscreen and dash.

Yes, it was a bit ISM.

Fortunately enough I managed to irritate the owner enough that we worked out a deal whereby i could gain ownership.


It has been and still is fun and games.

I would add I post once a find some pics.

Maybe I can add something now:

Yes. Unfortunately the artisans who did the bodywork did half-hearted job.

So it has been resprayed in a normal gloss black.

I am very very interested in this project of yours
Please keep us up to date as to how the project progresses
Any idea what engine you are going to put in ?
PS ;
I have seen some machines with a sort of army flat / matt olive drab type of military paint job
Looked VERY cool and fitted the vehicle well
In OEM I always thought that the grey finish was the nicest one for this model.

This older shape ALWAYS appeals to me more than the newer Gen 3 / 4 models
Somehow it just LOOKS more like a 4x4 ( Jeep -- old style -- NOT a Rubicon )
Strange what difference -- MUD tyre -- makes to the appearance of the vehicle

New coils.
Or coil spacers.

Also turn up the front torsion bars.

Hi...sold my colt and have the 2.5 edition ( blister fenders) 3.5 24 valves Swb... If you can't come right with windows..my switches packed up and maybe the doors circuits, anyway being stuck in Loxton and no joy sourcing part over phone, I got sorted by using the 2 relays principle for up and down on the windows... In case you need this bit of useless info... Works very well...keep the pics coming!, thanks

Hi, Both E/W work from drivers panel.
The passenger switch doesn't move the passenger window. Any more info on the 2 relays story?

[Racer-X]

It's mostly finished.
I want to sell.

Hi racerx!...do you still need that info on the 2 relay layout?..if the passenger control fail to operate the windows ,while the driver side does, its more than likely the switch and or the board on the passenger side,as well as the main power feed to that door that could be at fault...that switch is the first thing to look at as it can break its little lugs quite easly...also a short could have happened in the past and the tracks on the board could have melted... Can be fixed with patience ,well depending where that is...

[Kelpie]

Pressed once and 2 post sent....go figure...
