Thought I'd add myself to the members rides.
Earlier in the year I bought myself a GU2 Patrol, 3.0L manual for 7k.
It came with a 2-3in. TJM lift, semi-bald 33's and in need of a really good clean.

Since buying it, it's copped a snorkel, dual battery system, 35's and 16in. wheels, Light bar, GU3 Tail lights, Current model indicators (whop de doo), EGR block, A re-core'd cooler (old one leaked), new glow plugs and seals, all filters/belts/oils replaced, Rebuilt front swivel hubs/bearings/seals, new rotors, etc.

I'm basically slowly setting it up for a Cape trip we're planning for next year, so it's coming along nicely and is now starting to look the part, although my wallet feels quite thin.

There's alot left to do like finish off my UHF install, wire up some more lights and sockets (gotta love being an auto elec), get a roof basket installed along with an awning, rear drawers, better bullbar and a winch, steel rear bar... the list goes on...

Cheers.
