The No.6

[oldcarsmaniac]

The No.6 is a Patrol GQ TD42
It's a '95 reg. and has a manual gear shift.

Why No.6 ? Because is the sixth Nissan patrol I've ever owned.
The story begines eleven years ago, when I bought my first Patrol - a LWB MK with the SD33 engine.

http://www.forum.whitewolves.ro/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=142.0;attach=499;i mage

After that, I've bought a MK shorty which I cut finaly, because it was a rusted bucket.

http://www.forum.whitewolves.ro/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=142.0;attach=500;i mage

In the next years, another 2 Patrols arrived in my yard, one long and another shorty, but they were used as work car, so ... no offroad pictures.

Finally, last year I had The No.5, a blue MK shorty, equiped with 35" Silverstone Xtreme and Procomp suspension.

On 31 Ianuary this year I found the No.6 for sale in United Kingdom. I watched it on ebay one week and finally I payed for it. I decided to buy it because the TD42 engine is quite rare in Europe, so I thought it was a deal. After 3 hours of flight, I finally saw it live on 14 February (Valentine's day) ...:bananarock:.

I've drive it home around 1800 miles and as soon as I arrived I started to modify it :

New wheels - 33/13.50/15 TSL LTB on Compomotive Wheels 10Jx15
New CB radio + antenna.
Full service including a repair of the rear locker and of the front axle. Filters, oils and all liquids ...

That's for now. It follows :

+5cm lift kit
front custom winch bar
a rear 1/4 cut and a custom bar
an electric winch
and ... maybe more ...

Some pictures "under construction" :

She is a very cool lookin shorty mate Are you allowed to drive on the roads with your tyres stickin out past the guards?

[oldcarsmaniac]

Normaly, I don't drive this car on the road. I am blessed because the tracks are starting from my backyard. Anyway, sometimes I am driving it on the road, too. The policemans here aren't so bad ... ;)

[growler2058]

Half ya luck mate :-)

[patch697]

[oldcarsmaniac]

@katwoman - I'd take that like a compliment and thank you for it! But what shall I say about your signature ... " I dont like the smell or taste of cigarettes" ? :P

I was smoking Marlbro, indeed! :)

[oldcarsmaniac]

I decided today to cut the back of my No.6...
For that I must take down the rear bar and the towbar. I'll post some pics after I cut it and after mounting a custom bar.

Haha. I am currently trying to give them away !! A wise man once told me, if you say this 10 times a day, it makes you give up !!
Fingers crossed

[oldcarsmaniac]

I must try it myself ... I should give them away, too!

[katwoman]

You should. There is a thread here somewhere, for it.. This forum covers everything !! It's a struggle, but so far, so good..

[oldcarsmaniac]

Thanks for the tip! I think the power of doing that is inside ourselves, somewhere ...

[oldcarsmaniac]

Meanwhile she loose weight and become higher. She transformed herself in a real model. Take a look at the pics ...

[oldcarsmaniac]

Let's put this topic up again.

I might be offtopic, because this evening I wanna tell you about The No.7

Watching all the pictures and movies here, I started a long time ago to dream on a TB42. This is "rara avis" in Europe (an unusual, uncommon, or exceptional person or thing in latin language).
A week ago, a Y60 TB42 LWB was posted for sale on e-bay in UK. That's about 2000 miles away from Romania/Valcea, where I live. I won the bidding and I asked a friend of mine who lives in London to go after it.
This evening he took the car from Darlington to London (about 200 miles) and he was very excited about it. I feel like a child around Christmass tree, waiting to fly in UK to get the car home ...

Ontopic : The No.7 is a SE version, and I know it has a stock rear difflock, automatic gearbox, leather seats, AC, etc, etc. I'll try to post more pictures in another topic, when I will get it home.

[growler2058]

wE WILL BE WAITING IN ANTICIPATION FOR THE PHOTOS TAVI :-)

[oldcarsmaniac]

For the moment, this is all I know about the car :

http://www.forum.whitewolves.ro/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=349.0;attach=1686; image

[katwoman]

Very flash ! Love the two tone colours.

[growler2058]

Very fancy mate I like the two tone as well and leather very upper class hahahahahahha

[oldcarsmaniac]

Thanx! The car is on it's way to Romania. It's in Germany right now. Tomorow at this time should be home. That's a great birthday present for me ... ha ha ha!

A funny coincidance was the trade of the shorty, too. I first "met" it on Valentine's day! :))

[katwoman]

It is alot of effort to get a car... Must be worth it !!

[Airstrike]

Very nice cars and very nice new truck mate

[growler2058]

It is alot of effort to get a car... Must be worth it !!

Of coarse Kat it's a GQ would not go to that effort for a GU tho hahahahahahha

[oldcarsmaniac]

The No.7 is already home ... some pics ...

[oldcarsmaniac]

I will .... very soon! :)

Thanx!

[oldcarsmaniac]

The DIY helped by friends reparation has started ... :)

I just cuted the "chrome bling-bling" out and I made some more room for the tyres.

The cars in UK have so much rust ... :(

Some pictures until now and I promise I'll post more as soon as I'll do something at the car!

[growler2058]

Well done Tavi chop chop. I think the rust issue in the UK is Cause of all the salt they put on the icey roads?

[nowoolies]

keep them piccies comming Tavi

[Sir Roofy]

Excellent like watching your builds
