Not much dood You'd be much better off financially if you where to part it out and sell it, thats if you have the time/space/patience to do so. What tyres and size does it have? Does it still actually run? Probly $800-$1200 if it still runs enough to drive for a bit. $500 at best if its totally shat itself... just my opinion though. I remember a thread few months back sum1 here saw (perhaps bought even?) a scat with a few months rego, on gas, for about a grand I think, ran fine too.

From redbook:

National average price - private sale* $800 - $1,800




(how much u want for the UHF? )

its only a thought basically it still drives but blowes white smoke on start up because the head has a crack in it
once it has pressureised it runs but i dont know how long it will last like this


and frankly im over this 4wd ive put all my money into it ive put almost 2twice as much as i have payed for it into it and i cant see any good out of it

and im even considering getting out of 4wd's all together they cost to much and any 4wd i can afford atm is a heap of shit

i was planing at the end of the year, taking it off the road and get $5 grand off a bank and get the motor rebuild and get the body resprayed now im not so sure what to do

i have to consider my situation and see what my options are if i do sell ill let u know and u can let me know on the uhf

cheers

dont go into debt over a car... my personall opinion... but i've seen/heard of too many people having to work long hours etc and pay loads of fees/interest.
If its going to cost you that much and you really dont have the money to throw at it, you'll never enjoy it. Everytime you wheel it you'll just be thinking of what it cost you and trying not to scratch it.
Your better of re-couping what you can, buying a little crapper DD for a year or so, saving up the dosh and getting something you really want/like. Even on apprentices salary you'd be able save $2-3k over a year?? (of course I don't know your full situation, just guessing)

But you can get a fairly capable/reliable trail pig for 2k. (lady owner, never offroad sorta thing ) I got mine for 2k. Have spent that on repairs since but now I have a fairly reliable 4B. And it hasn't cost me soo much so I don't have to baby it.. too much

Either that or get a lil DD, weld the crack up on this, backyard spring it over and trailer it
