Thanks Nick I will bear that in mind. Looking on the internet it seems they make a large profit on the freight charges. Cheers.

John,
Try TC Trimmers in Midvale for re-upholstering, not particularly cheap but does good work.
Not sure if any Totota dealers would have parts as they are getting on a bit. Tony's wreckers also in Midvale have a very good range of second hand 4WD parts.
Maybe try Robson Brothers in Welshpool area for your dual battery setup. Never had personal experience with them as I do all my own stuff but I have heard they have a good reputation and they may be able to help with parts. I guess ARB or someone like that as an alternative for your dual battery and solar setup.
I had the earlier HJ45 Troopy, very solid and reliable, also very slow..lol. I think they are a top vehicle, just getting a little long in the tooth.
Cheers
Pop

I have used tc Trimmers for the reupholstery of the caravan seats, excellent service and good workmanship, very satisfied customer, The dual battery System Try kings Auto electrics in Bayswater, I have used this company for all my electronics over many Years, for both my trucks and for-b-fours, Reasonably priced and very efficient and they seem to stay abreast of all the modern electronics, as
well as do the older generation vehicles, . Good luck as for the paint job, sorry but I can't help you there.

Having just restored an HJ47 tray (from my old HJ47 troopie) I have a few parts stockists on the web that might help... no affiliation - just use them to source parts - plenty of bits & parts out there if you're prepared to look (and use Professor Google)
http://stores.ebay.com.au/ROODOGS-4WD-SPARES are great
