I bought a patrol........

[tonyteb]

Evening everyone, just thought id drop in and say gday.

I've currently got an 80 series that's my daily, i got sick of breaking things on it while out in the bush so i bought myself a vitara. The little shtheap has been great and unstoppable but a couple of weeks ago i picked up an 84 MK patrol. Its my first patrol and its old but it still runs. I think it was the near new 35s simex extreme trackers that hypnotised me and made me buy it. Im hoping to get it on club plates as the rego for all these cars is gonna add up and i have a feeling the Patrol might end up being a bit of a money pit.

Hopefully i wont need to bust your bananas too much on this forum but i definitely will need some advise on the way. The advise i've received so far is take the wheels off and part out the rest. However i dont think the car is in that bad shape.

Welcome mate. Heaps of info here and top members to suit..
My advice, sell the 3 of em and buy a GQ td42 turbo.. You'll only need the one car as they are unbreakable with few mods like chromoly cv's and 4.6 diffs to spin those 35's. 3" lift and you'll be set..

Anyway jump in and enjoy.
Cheers
