well,
i can officially say that i am the new owner of Franks old Jabber. Received it today off the truck, has taken a while to come up, and was a bit painfull financially and also ambiguity, but its here and thats what matters
im picking up another one tommorrow as a parts car, still undecided which way ill go about it, but hopefully ill get this thing built as quick as possible again.
heres a few pics, nothing too much i havent even had a chance to look it over or drool over it yet. Hopefully it will come together quickly, anyone keen to give a hand in the next few months theres no way in hell ill say no,
cheers,
dean

Dude, I hate you!
But seriously - a great buy you have there. Even better to see it has gone to a Paj enthuisist anyway. You are lucky I don't live over there as I would have fought you for it...
Good luck with the build.

Good luck Dean, glad your happy with everything.
Let me know if you have any questions or need some imfo.
Also you have an extremely rare Pajero Club Of Victoria grill badge - I forgot about it otherwise I would have put the Mitsi one back on.
They did a run of these about 15 years ago and one surfaced at a club meeting which they found hiding in a club shop box. I was lucky enough to get there first after they anounced it to snaffle it for $10.

I say fit the shorty body to it, chop it up and turn it into a tray back, run 38s or larger and pure w.end or comp truck...
Then buy another rice burner like you used to have for daily work

yeh i did notice the grill piece frank
thanks for the good words guys, its going to take some time, but i have two weeks off in october to get a god crack at it.
decision is body swap or swap parts to stock car. will all depend on rego and engineering and inspections.
cheers,
dean
some daylight pics, also with the parts car i picked up, cost $2000. Everything is there and its in pretty good nick actually. Heaps of kays though, it turns over first time every time, doesnt drive due to gearbox unknown problem.

Darius, coping ok mate doing some work/mods to the grey Jabber to get it ready for a big trip in November (camping - High Country).
I will be selling this vehicle sometime in the new year along with the Magna and hopefully pick up a near new diesel Triton only as a camper/daily driver.
I'm just glad it's gone to a good home and we will still get to see it cruising around.
Bloody hell it looks like a monster truck compared to the stock Paj and it's only got 33"s on

ahahah yeh, it does look tall, the fact the ground isnt flat doesnt make it any better, but yeh its still tall. I was suprised though, that it actually wasnt taller. The roof height is good considering what underneath it.
its going to be a long road, but im looking forward to travelling it.

p.s - someone buy my shorty
