...Surf ownership here I come

Er, how come it's got 2nd gen wheels on? I thought they didn't fit 'cos the 3rd gen has bigger brakes.




Unless they're 16" wheels or the truck has smaller brakes.

Dunno, aside from the fact that I think it is a very early 3rd Gen....the bodywork is very definately 3rd gen......the gear lever is on the right of the knob...

...anything I should look out for just in case it is a hybrid?

It shouldn't be a hybrid mate. Just check for ill fitting brake discs/calipers etc.

the 3rd gen is discs all round i believe.

Either that or check to see if the wheels are 16"

it will be marked on the tyre. dont measure them because they will actually measure 16".

In theory, could a turd gen body, engine and gearbox be fitted to a 2nd gen rolling chassis?

The chassis rails are about 5" further apart on the 3rd gen. (more room to fit a V8) and the fuel tank is on the other side.
So to answer your question,................. not easily.

3RD Gen is DISK & DRUM like the 2nd Gen

[Ava_Banana]

Thanks...what should the gear levers look like (so I can tell that it has a locking diff).....

[marky]

My manual Gearbox has 3 positions on the transfer case gear lever not including neutral
