Bleach Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 2006 was a bad year for 620's. My 620 build of 5 years was stolen in April but never found. We can help, but will need more info. Post pictures of what you have and your LOCATION. that will be key. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 My guess is Aussie, since he said tub. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 "Tassie" doesn't show up as a city in Austrailia. Please be more specific. We can ship you parts if you've got the money. a tub in your country is a very rare item. Quote Link to comment
Gaijin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 hey guys... sorry its taken so long to get back to you all. im still new at this so im not sure how to post up pics yet... turned out the chassis i got was screwed from chops on the suspension... got a WB holden chassis for its IFS... i was wondering if just using the whole thing would work better? and im in Launcestion in Tasmania, Australia... parts are really scarce down here and wat shits me the most is i saw the bonnet and doors off dads car the other day, and i know theyre the same ones coz the guy hadnt removed the pinstriping i did on them... and the police cant do anything coz i neva took photos... any help you guys can give would be great though...

Gaijin Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 thanks dude... that would be a massive help... do you reckon the 620 body would fit on the wb chassis? being as your from aus and at least know wat a wb is? Quote Link to comment

Wharf Rat Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well it looks like you have to find a welder and pay or trade. If I were in your area and knew the story we would be jiging things up and having a few brews after it was back in one peice.
