GT - "Cooler" in the trunk

Post by Cali-gal »

Hello from California,

Having never seen the interior of another GT trunk, do they all come with a "mini-fridge/cooler"?

I admit I have not looked at all of the photos here yet, so if there IS a photo - I'd love to see it.

A snapshot of mine is attached. Please pardon the dust ... it has been sitting for a LONG LONG time. (I just bought new tires though! Woo hoo! The restoration has begun ... see Random Bellett Pics post "Japan to USA" and you'll know why I am wishing for better days.)

Thanks!

never, ever seen one of those before!

u sure it looks factory fitted, as i've never seen it even mentioned in any Isuzu paperwork either?
i'd think i'd be much more inclined to say it's an accessory unit that someone has fitted after purchase.

cheers.

Thanks for the info! The system ran off a belt like an AC unit and it caused the engine to drag a bit (... can't have that). I disconnected it years ago but left it installed since I get a kick out of it.

I'm thinking this and many other things make my GT a hybrid (hopefully only cosmetically). The guy I bought it from had installed power windows and USA style mirrors. I'll be replacing both of those if I can find the real parts. (Will get to that topic elsewhere on this forum).

First things first though. The engine ran great last time it was driven (decade ago). I'm keeping my fingers crossed a bit of grease/oil/gas will put it back on the road.

Thanks again!

Hi, If it s only running of a pulley of the motor, do it aussie style an have it run off the talshaft, small mod, but effective.

That is the raddest, rat-worthy accessory ever.

If you ever want to part with it, I know the boot of a certain Aussie rat-Bellett it would look cool in!

hahahahahahaha not trying to steal your stuff or anything...

Cheers,


Dave
