I would be out grabbing it instead of being here posting if it is a bargain or not!
Even if the body is crewed there is well over $500 in parts in it to wreck it out. There is $500 in the diffs alone.

thought thats what every one would say, Mate got it 2 days ago Said yeah could have got it for $450 but did not want to be to checky.

Bad points r big hole in the drivers floor pan but thats it for rust, bar bit of surface rust
needs new bonnet and front gaurd one gaurd can be rescued,
And it was full of spiders , big arse white tails but a bug bomb fixed that

Funny thing is he sold he's pos MQ for $750 so he has money to spend

I hate smart arses

you ever done a cab swap bogged?

i can assure you plating a bit of rust on the floor is way way easier than a cab swap

n for a 500 buc truck id plate it paint it and go for gold.
mab cut the quaters and wheel arches while you have the welder n paint ready :twisted:

even if he gets 6 months out of it n the wheels fall off it theres still enought coin in parting it out to buy another one :armsup:

thats the number badger, plate the floor, and give him a little paint and with rego and stuff should owe him about a grand.

Little up dates The 4.2 runs bloddy good for a car thats been sitting round for 2 years Has slight miss at idle but revs up nice,

left hand rear door does not open but thats an easy fix

every thing else works perrrrrrfect

if he keeps it for a year or two should still be able to get 2-3 grand for it

all in all it ends up a good cheap truck.

well i have to say. it is amazing what you can find there are bargins every where. Just have to be there at the right time and place. i picked up and arb full length roof rack for a fifty and have got plenty of of other bargins.
