Other than checking to make sure sikaflex is suitable for drinking water.
If sika is not suitable you could use silicone for aquariums as they don't leech chemicals out. The rivets should hold it together if you ...

I have the Oztrail 9 plus which is the center pole with an extended back.
I put a tarp over it anyway
It extends out the front and that's where I have the table etc setup.
Aldi have a canvas swag on sale tomorrow for $149. Might go check it out.

It would be awesome if you built it up N/A to 200bhp.
Really depends on your budget and how much of it you can DIY.
If you have a budget then go the turbo route IMO.

Stimpy is a JLX - electric windows and mirrors... air conditioning... alarm system, and because he's the non-airbag model (Series 1), you can run a line from your air cond to the top/second glovebox and turn it into a cooler box :armsup: (never got around to ...

You might want to get a GPS receiver that can use an external antenna.
So you can buy one from ebay with the magnetic base and put it outside the car for better signal strength.

Hi guys,
Have been looking @ 80 series, Turbo Diesels.
Found one that has aftermarket turbo fitted back in 2000 but they don't know if the previous owner had the motor+gearbox rebuilt.
It currently has around 340,000 clicks on it.
Is a 91 model. I've read that the pre-95's would need some work done ...

Not sure if you'd like this suggestion but early model (02-04) petrol Terracan's can be had for sub 20's.
Just a re-skinned Paj I think.
