I got curious and went looking to see what you were driving Andy. That's almost exactly what mine looked like when I got it. It didn't stay that way very long! What are your plans for building it up?
I "WAS" planning on putting a 3" exhaust through initially with a 3" lift (I actually didnt mind seeing yours with the Snake racing mega lift springs and tough dog shocks either).
I like doing a lot of DIY stuff like the roof consoles, rear drawers, etc.
Anyways, the important word up there is "WAS".
We have just had our first child (girl who's going to have all the boys toys) and my misses is still driving the old VP commodore wagon...I know, I'm not a nice partner...haha.
The diff is starting to whine, the tranny is slipping on the commo and all round its not good news and on her last legs.
Before I do anything it would probably make sense to give her the patrol (it hurts just writing this), selling the vp commodore for about 5 bucks and either fixing up the rubbish tip GQ in the shed or hopefully buying some poor buggers GQ that he has spent thousands on and can't sell.
I like doing things from scratch which is why i got the stocky GU wagon but finding a nicely looked after stock GQ or a teenage crazed mod GQ that hasnt seen dirt could be an idea as well.
So, there may be another members rides coming up soon!
The A\C is also buggered in the commodore so It's just not worth fixing it up.
What I really want is A Jayco camper.
My misses has never been overly keen on the trips I take her on and roughing it up and now with the baby girl we need to go on "family" trips more then the boys treks.
I also want a xr250, Big Bear quad bike with trailer for the wood and tools, kanga for landscaping, 5 tonne excavator for cutting hills out, 10k fire sprinkler system with dedicated pump and copper piping, underground fire bunker with double steel doors 10 ft deep, Sting ray corvette, coupe Impala, spa bath and swimming pool, fix up the bungalow with pool table and finish the 17 projects I already have going around the property.
Does anyone know what the jackpot is for next powerball????
