Best Off Road
Today, I had two customers in to fit _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx and didn't they both have unique units?
1. A 60 Series with 346,000 on the clock. One owner that had a $7000 respray that looked better than new. Totally stock other than Bull Bar, Winch, Stereo etc. Imacculate interior.
It was a beauty to behold.
2. An 80 Series 4.5, Petrol/LPG with a Turbo. Lifted to the Heavnes, Mongrel Tyres,
well worked over body etc.
The 60 was turning heads, nobody noticed the 80.

60Series=Why
80series=alot look like that.
Each to their own. I says waste of money. He says money
well spent. I have never considered them a beauty to behold, even new.
$7000 is alot of trips

Hello Pesty
That 60 series of
mine that went to Victoria is for sale again I understand. Roachie can give Madcowz a tinkle if he is looking for something to play with.
Cheers

60 series and MQ caused 4WDers to go soft.
Series Landy, G60, 45 series, even two stroke Suzuki.
That was real 4WDing.

Hey _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx ....
I think I'm with you on your point:
I admire most pre 1990 vehicles too .... I only look at post 1990 ones. ( wink )
Mind you ... $ 7k for paint ... I think Id be off to Bunnings or somewhere for a couple of tins of killrust and a brush ... LOLOL
