Longtime Listener first time caller...MB TD42 checkin in for build up

[MB TD42]

Gday all...

Names Chris...

Checking in for the first time with my newly purchased 1990 TD42 GQ Wagon...

I have grown up and toured Australia in Toyotas my whole life and decided after a gut full of sour grapes from my last tojo purchase that I would check out the grass on the other side and buy an old asphalt explorer off a retiring work colleague and get rid of the money pit.

I got a blank slate with 250k on the ODI and apart from a tiny rust hole on the rear shoulder of the body the rig is immaculate.

Build plan...

-Install Emu wing rear window access Matt Black
-Bar work upgrade to steel all round
-Install winch from previous rig
-Install dual battery and aux outlets and inlets
-Install compressor and outlets
-Repair small rust spot on roof and possible closed door respray
-Roof rack
-3inch suspension
-Install Led light from old rig

Catch you round the traps...
