Give Away

alpineau · 06-02-2008, 11:15 AM

Hey Guys

i have a few things that i no longer need and maybe one of you might have more need for it then i do.

I have a full S2 SR kit which included front and rear bar plus side skirts, i would like to give it to someone who might have had a little accident and can not afford to get it reapired or someone who just wasnt to do up a stock au. The colour is organza see pic below. Sorry i am selling the spoiler by it's self

Also if some one needs a new set of wheel to dress up there au or just in need of new tyres let me know i still have the wheels off the car and if someone is in need of them i am happy to give them to a forum member. If you want anything just pm me and i will give you my address to come get it.

Oh all the stuff is pickup only and located in Townsville

Cheers
Andrew

That's very generous of you.

Hopefully someone in need can benefit from your generosity.

Pinkbits · 06-02-2008, 11:52 AM

I have a stock AU XR do i qualify?
Willing to offer $ for the side skirts plus postage/freight at my expense.

InfernoSR · 06-02-2008, 01:19 PM

Damn your location!... i needed wheels and had to settle for stealie's... not to crash hot on a Blueprint XR kitted S1... :P

Chamelion · 06-02-2008, 01:51 PM

Gee, I would nearly drive to townsville for the wheels :P

BillC · 06-02-2008, 02:34 PM

Hi Andrew, I am in Townsville and I have a young friend who is a second year apprentice who is in need of wheels and tyers for his au ser 1 ute. He has a set of mags but they are not suitable because its a one tonner (illegal I am told). Are your mags/wheels genuine ford ? If they are he would really appreciate the wheels and tyres

v8falconsrule · 06-02-2008, 02:44 PM

straight up, this has got to be one of the best things i've seen on here for ages. more power to ya Andrew!

BTW i don't think sr wheels are rated to 1 tonne either.i may be wrong but i think you'll be needing the ones specified for the 1 tonne utes.

BillC · 06-02-2008, 02:50 PM

Still would be better than the $600 mags from Bob Jane. He will be less likely to be picked up on them if genuine ford. He cracked one of his original mags (gutter jumping) just after he bought the car so he was in a bit of a bind to get himself back on the road. These would be a better option for him.

v8falconsrule · 06-02-2008, 02:56 PM

true but i would only ever consider it a temporary fix. have had a few reports of people in this are getting picked up over wrongly rated alloys lately.

i would be intersested to find what the ruling would be if you swapped the suspenion to standard...i sposse you'd have to get it complianced then? just a ramdom thought, sorry.

They say nothing is for nothing these days.

Well done on bucking the trend

two thumbs up

(I have some XR headlight protectors one missing(1xbig, 2xsmall, if some one is in need of a replacement etc.You have inspired me to give something away too)

InfernoSR · 07-02-2008, 11:14 AM

I was actually thinking of selling my set of lowered springs off my AU... but i think i'd prefer to give them away to a worthy project... maybe a swap would also suffice...

Sorry, i did not see your post there before, at this stage i would like to see if someone who is local needs them first as i don't really have any means of packing them up for freight and at a guess it would be very expensive to post

V8falcons · 07-02-2008, 09:24 PM

Good on you mate your a great australian.

T-Pak Addict · 08-02-2008, 12:20 AM

pity you are so far away as I would like to get the side skirts also as I have a dent in my sill panel that needs covering

kcej · 08-02-2008, 01:15 AM

Hate to admit it but this sort of thing brings a lump to my throat.

Hope the parts go to people who genuinely appreciate them and one day pay the favor forward when they are in a position to do so

Justifies my faith in people bigtime

Mate, I agree... I have been looked after on this forum by other members, and I want to give back... So i'll start going through my stuff and give out some freebies on stuff i really wont need... but due to location, i may have to charge freight costs to some people...

alpineau · 08-02-2008, 05:43 PM

Ok Wheels are gone, last chance for someone local or has some local that can pickup the body kiy before i offer it to someone interstate

InfernoSR · 11-02-2008, 11:06 AM

Hope someone snaps it up off you soon... shame i couldnt get hold of the wheels :P

Thanks. I am going to give you a call on Monday night and I will have the young bloke with me as well. He is very excited and thankful for your help. When we pick up the wheels we might have a look at the body kit and see if it will fit onto his ute if thats OK.

T-Pak Addict · 11-02-2008, 11:17 AM

puts hands up for sideskirts (will pay postage) if you dont get any local offers

peterr · 11-02-2008, 06:06 PM

Willing to pay for postage .. just dont have anything to offer...

BillC · 12-02-2008, 02:20 PM

Big thanks to AlpineAU. The young bloke picked up the wheels and the body kit and is now saving his money to get them painted. He bought AlpineAU a slab of XXXX in appreciation. It did go to a worthy cause. Thanks
