    looks pretty good for its age in the photos, cybernought. I had an L28 engined '82 wagon. Rust was the biggest problem it had :-)

    Not likely
    Dont get the 2.8 dreaded issues you read confused here

    You have an L28 engined patrol , these are the same 2.8 petrols in the nissan Z cars,very very robust engines and looove to rev
    Most of 2.8 issues you read mostly regard to the RD28 (2.8 diesel) in the later GU series
    Yours will have a remote tranfer case being a LWB,these transfer case are in demand and can handle tuff V8s power running threw them
    The only downside with the L28 powered MQ/MKs are there love of fuel , very thirsty, but that aside keep the services up , and theyll go forever
