So it begins...
Howdy all, new to the forum! Used to own a Hilux, rolled it on it's roof, now I own a patrol! More on that previous lifestyle here...
Decided to buy something cheaper due to financial pressures, settled on a the RD28 patrol as a few of my mates have them, and as a result I've had to help fix them already on numerous occasions!
Picked this bad boy up for a good price with good history... unfortunately on the drive home from South Australia to Melbourne the achiles heel of the RD28 kicked in and the harmonic balancer dropped off the crankshaft. It's currently at the mechanic's undergoing diagnosis... fingers crossed the engine doesn't have to come out.
Here she is though - comes with a few mods already, and some grand plans for the future, though I would've rather put the 6k in engine rebuilds into mods 😞
