Say it's worth bugger all and won't get much in it's current state and you'll get to keep it, that's what I said to my wife and she just rolled her eyes and said typical..but I get to keep it LOL

Michelle,
Let hubby read my reply. I beleive getting a later model Patrol may not be the answer for you guys. You still don't know what you a re going to get. At least if you finish your rig, you know what you have done so far.

If you sell you may get between $1500 and $3000 grand if it's running sweet, lookin good and complete with 50%tread on set of tyres. To get an average cond ition GQ will cost between $3500 and $6000, and a good GQ or later from $5000 upwards. So you are at least $2000 behind after selling yours, what's your car worth. And, is $1500 enough for all the work you have already put in to YOUR BABY?

You cant put a price on experience and good times
Gee some people pay $6 for a cup of coffee FFS ......
I spent along time doin my MK ute and it has to go as ive bought something thats a bit wifey friendly , auto with all the goodies (happy wife happy life...)
It hasnt sold yet and i aint given it away,that said im doin another patrol this time a shorty
I enjoy tinkering , the people i meet the help and assistance i get from forums and people and i try to help others where i can
I enjoy chasing bits n pieces and building to time frames or budgets, thats more fun than "Cheque book buying/building"
You cant put a price on stuff like that

Finish it,it wont break the bank and youll enjoy it more than a new "I dont wanna scratch it" car ...

Full agreement with MQ, I've got not a clue on what I'm doing but the amount of PMs, tips, hints and readjustments of clueless plans that has been passed on to me is worth more than I can put a figure on. Admittedly finding parts is friggen hard but when you do find that part, tis like the holy grail (until the next part).
A year down the track you'll be thanking your lucky stars you didn't cave in and buy a GU or something even more fragile.
