Been lurking around the forum for a bit and thought I would post up and say hello.
Had a few patrols in my time and over the last 6 months decided I needed another. Always wanted a shorty and found a 1989 SWB safari in QLD that I had to have.
Its got 197000km on the engine, with a service history and so far it is a good honest truck. Its a slow work in progress getting her sorted and with the NSW RMS putting their 2cents into the equation it has not exactly been an easy task to get the Rego transferred to NSW. Seems that they don't recognise the QLD Rego as its an import and does not have the little yellow 'personal import' sticker on it, so it has to be engineered etc etc
But not such a bad thing as that means it will be engineered with the lift, tyres etc.
Got plenty to do to get it to where I want it, but all worth it in the end..here are a few pics of it as I got it..will put up a build thread with the slow progress :)
