Intoducing myself - Renee from Albury

[Renee5376]

Hello all, my name is Renee and I live in Albury NSW. I have purchased two 4WD's (projects) for my teenage sons. The first being a 1983 Subaru, for not so tricky camping spots and a 1981 SD33 Nissan Patrol (Diesel) for heavy duty towing and 'big boy' off road stuff.
My younger son has developed a keen interest in hunting in remote areas, so we're hoping the Nissan is able to be saved. Previous owner shortened the tailshaft to fit a 5 speed gearbox but ended up putting four speed back in and packed out the tailshaft to refit (Dodgy as!). He did include 5 spd in purchase tho.
There is some rust in the body as well........ so after I get my trusty mechanic to assess, we'll decide whether to sell off parts and buy a better one, or go ahead with the restoration.
I'd be very happy to hear from anyone with ideas and advice.
Glad to be here!
Cheers..... Renee
