I saw that lime green one, I looked for the mag but I can't find it, was a very tuff truck, exactly the body style I wan't.

I sent some pics to someone on this forum so they could post them i don't know how to , same topic is also in general 4x4 section. Thats where the pics should be soon, I hope.

how much is he asking for it & what state He is asking around 6k neg and will be used in ACT. Regarding the engineers cert apparently it has one but it doesn't come with the truck? said the original owner still has it? sounds strange to me. What is cert worth to cover the engine & susp mods.

it would have came stock with spring over

yeah i'm new to this stuff but now I know.

it looks like the kinda truck that got wheeled too hard, the paint and body aren't messed up but I think the rest of the truck may have been.

I will post some pics when I learn how, if the pics are working atm.

lotsa people do it so I would say its well worthwhile.

do you mean that it is only worth around 1000$$$ that sounds pretty cheap.

It was registered up until recently but i am thinking that it wouldn't pass without some dramas mainly cos the 308 is on petrol. wouldn't matter if it was petrol, straight gas or diesel. I am in the ACT and have been told that changing a vehicle in any way that alters the emmisions will require the ...

Looking at the conversion cos the wagons are pretty cheap when compared to similarly modified cruiser utes, but I really don't know much so could be wrong on that, no idea on the conversion cost either.

this might be a dumb question but can an 80 series wagon be converted into a ute.

if so what are the pro's and con's of the conversion and will it cost more to insure and stuff like that.

is something like this a good thing to do, as I really need a ute.

Thanx in advance

Maybe around 20k, but I am not after latest model I would prefer a pre loved truck that I can spend a bit of money on after I get it.

So I guess 10k for truck 10k for mods.???????????

Or an already modded unit.
