Post by rangiesport »

Thinking of buying one, could anyone tell me what to look for, common problems and what they might be worth.

Are they getting to old to consider.

Thanks

hey mate i have a late 88' 2.8D lux, what do you need to know?
ive done alot to it, mainly fixing rather than modding tho. mine is IFS but. ive had it nearly 2 yrs. its my first 4x4 an i didnt know the diff between IFS an solid when i bought it, kickin myself now. mine has a spot of rust under the back window other wise only where ive scraped the paint off eg, cross members, control arms.

i paid 9k for it, had 190,000 on it. im in brisbane but i bought it in melbourne. i looked for one up here an they were all rusting out
