Congrats on the purchase Damo, looking forward to seeing the build up

Thanks all. Can't wait to get her dirty. Misses hates her already! Lol.

Let the mods begin, but first, gotta drive home tomorrow, bugger.

Well done, good get Damo! where did you have to drive her from?

Nice work Damo, How many ks on her mate, where did you buy her from and how did you find her? How many previous owners? any real mods done already?

Have fun mate welcome to the Club ;)

Nice looking rig what's first in the build

Thanks guys. I picked her up in brisbane, heading back to hunter valley today.

She has 109,000km, got it on carsales.com from a dealer. They put a brand new dash in it for me, was very badly blistered.

It has genuine winch steel bar, safari snorkel, uhf, cheap ipf spotties (prob from factory), pro track roof rails, cd player.

Will be ordering a few things this week. Roof basket, awnings, rear draws, drop slide, cargo barrier, front diff lock, hour water system, lift kit (3" I reckon). Plus a few more bits and pieces.

I'm like a kid at christmas, a little bit excited.
