I am asking those that can help out a senior member who has been on the forum for as many years as it has been running and turned up to nearly every event. It has been 15 months since the forum helped me and I feel Roofy deserves help more than I do. So if you can chip in some cash to put towards what ever is decided on and get Roofy back on the road.. Ab has a bank account that can be used for donations and if you PM me I will send them through. Please guys those that can help with a person who truly deserves it.

old photos, good times!!!

I'm in send me the details, can't have Roofy having to use shanks pony.

Every time my wife tells me I'm to old for this 4WDing I tell her Roofy is older than I am and goes to way more places than I do. He's my role model and a good bloke too.

Not sure if a separate discussion about options should be started?

Should we bury this thread and just leave the one Mudski has???? Just a thought to keep it clean and tidy????

I'll chip in if you send me the details.

Transfers from different banks take a couple of days.
I put mine in last night but it might not have shown up.
I think Mudskis promo will be getting a lot more in there though.

Yeah mate i'm the same boat. Will take a while
Should see it by tomorrow

I have finally got back on here, dug out an old laptop and knock me over I could log on. (edit, Internet explorer is the problem, tried Chrome for the first time and it worked???)

I already knew about old mate Roofy's troubles, Please send me the bank details too, I'll dig up the poly pipe in the back yard and see whats in it.

Also Roofy and Jane it seems the shirtmob made a stuff up and yours were free.

Lets get that machine of your hummin again.

Guess that would depend on how much can be raised as to what can be done

If we did get the GU we could auction off the bits we don't use to recoup the cost.

Replace the engine.

There are a couple of you guys who know what issues arise with conversions and the cost and stress involved.

A whole vehicle swap is also a lot of work.

The most efficient and cost effective would be a straight engine swap.

This is what we were thinking. A grenaded GU probably isn't worth much but would go along way. I know that the forum wouldn't cover the complete cost, maybe a quarter ? Haven't chased it as yet. It's not on the market yet, but will be soon. Spoke to the man in the hat today and it's a maybe ? Is it worth chasing ? Personally if he replaces the 3 L you can't really guarantee it won't happen again. You know what I mean ?
Stevo will chase it up if needed.

It is fairly early in the fund raiser and I would suggest this time next week we will have a better idea of the amount raised.

I suggest that anyone with ideas PM Jonathon (Bloodyaussie) with their suggestion and he can collate them and present to a Task Force comprising :-

Bloodyausie
Roofy
Member with Mechanical Expertise
Member with Organisational skills
Andy if he has the time
and anyone else that maybe needed.

Personally this is what i am for... thanks to mudnut we have a good deal offered to us and would be a straight engine change over which can be done in a weekend.

Also costs... i do not see the funds for and engine conversion as i know what to expect money wise from donations.

I have a new job starting next week and i am hoping to buy a house on the weekend plus getting this place ready to sell... i also have a big trip coming up on the 12th so my plate is pretty full for a few weeks.

It's ok, like Bob said lets keep promoting this and see where we are at in a week.

I believe the raffle will have a lot more then my donation account given so let's give it time.

Happy days folks, let's sort him out!

That's what this base is for mate..
To assist in the time of need..

+1 for a like for like engine swap as Nissannewby said. Simplest option IMO.

Straight bolt up, no dicking around, NADS kit and he's back on the road in a weekend.

I would be a little worried about that engine if it does not come with any form of warranty whatsoever.
In saying that though if it has been rebuilt very recently it should be okay... hmmmm....

Providing that Roofy is in agreement I would go for the straight Engine Swap.
Roofy gets to keep all his gear and the mean green machine
Added bonus would be a weekend of fellowship during the swap over.
