Thread: Surf thoughts

after about 4-5 years of looking for a manual gearbox for my 98 grand vitara (still driving it even after a piece of bearing had fallen out with oil when i changed it ) i had all but given up a couple of months ago and decided to replace it with a ute was prepared to pay $6-7k and then a gearbox finally popped up. i threw new rubber at it as well and can still afford to tidy up the paint for all up about $3k so i look at that as a win . ive had it for 20 years and 360000km now it has no frilly add ons or thousands of computers no airbags and the gearbox has to be manhandled into 4wd ......
