1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My buddy has a complete jet engine off a smaller air liner.. why? I don’t know

 

Haha no shit. Those are worth millions of dollars if it’s truly a jetliner size jet engine.

Boeing made experimental helicopter jet turbines which are super common for sale and swapped into vehicles. T50 Boeing turbine. I’ve seen them in boats, trucks, cars… shopping carts.

 

Bumper stickers from Amazon.

You did it!

Some Datsun inspiration...the Bury's Peking to Paris '71 (also used in other endurance rally races, but that's where I found out about it)

 

Local cruiser shop has been importing these from LHD countries like Spain or Italy. Then restore and sell.

So when you buying one?

 

I'd absolutely love one up until the moment something big goes wrong and I need work done, or some part I can't get for an extended period of time because it's obscure. I know someone who ended up having his in a shop for months because of a dirty diesel fill-up, ended up just swapping in a R2.8.

Leaning more and more towards putting a tray on my 1st gen though...

 

Redneck version

 

I would like to try out one off-road. But I'm sure way too expensive. I like to buy cheap fixer-uppers. Cheap and Landcruiser Diesel don't go together.

 

This more your style

 

Oh to be 23 again and driving one as a daily.

 

Just put a cummins in it

 

I like the 4.5L V8 turbo diesel and the single cab box but $80,000 is above my present budget.

 

I recall somebody around here did that with an 80 series. Not sure which Cummins though.

 

Could always get a RC one for a fraction of the price
