Barney i used to work round the corner from this mob. maccas is opposite. if its the same one lookin at the bar work its been their for a while . for memory thier was a little paint and panel damage as well. i reckon u can do better, i knocked it back too dear. i picked up an 85 model 3b safari turbo good running gear , in need of a paint for $4700. Look around theirs a bargain round the corner.
74 series is mid wheel base landcruiser running leaf springs, 13bt is toyota 3.4 diesel turbo charged. awesome engine from all accounts, excellent offroad.
roof racks give you some extra storage space, alloy bar is light (not much else going for it
). new suspension minus shocks will cost you around $1100, new tyres another $1000 plus ?, shocks prob around $500.
these cars are great but i reckon this one is overpriced
cheers

thanx for your reply's
ive decided to keep the old girl for now and give it a cab off rebuild
the only reason i was looking at a new one is because my hilux has quite alot of rust in the cab
but in the last 6 months ive replaced the motor, gearbox done a full rebuild on the front diff and ive got a rebuilt rear diff to go in. so basicly the truck is all new except the cab
So decided im gonna pull the cab off send it away to be stripped clean inside and out plate up all the rust and give it a new paint job
then it should see me happy for another 5 years
