Ok here is the start.
I have just bought an 02 4.2 ex Telatra. Full service history.
Passed my mechanic check with a few things to do.
1. New Batteries
2. Winch not working - advised repairable.
3. Tear in Seat. - thinking black duck a quick fix.
4. New seals on Pod
5. Drivers side latch needs tightening.

Will upload more as I go.
Getting excited now!
Good price! ........ Delete that .......Very good price!
Registered? Private sale?
Roof rack & Carsales logo suggest an owner between Telstra & yourself?
Edit: I really like my Black Ducks.

Sounds like a great price for a 4.2, non turbo I take it
Look forward to your ideas
Picked her up. Is turbo too.
A few things to do. Runs nice
Will post some pics later!
Purchased private from an electrical contractor. Just updated to a new vehicle. Registered he purchased from orix I thinks.
Gear box seems a bit sloppy on selection in the middle. Ie moving 2nd to third? Any ideas?
I don't recall my gearbox feeling sloppy, but was aware that selection was not as 'precise' as I had been used to when I first got it. It's not the fastest gearchange i've ever had, generally slower deliberate changes work best. I find it 'normal' now. It may be a comparative thing , depending upon the gearbox you have recently been accustomed to?

Nice buy mate. Looks very clean.
As for the gears, do they select nicely? If so it's possibly just the pivots showing wear on the gear stick. Cheap part from eBay, not sure about install though..
Looking forward to the build..

yeh mate buy some gear stick bushes that should fix that sloppy feel if the change itself is ok, fairly comon i think as mine is a bit sloppy in the gear change too.
thats a great price for a turbo 4.2, good on ya mate the winch should just need a service, i used to work for telstra up there and the winches hardly ever got used and had plenty of exposure to the elements so it should just need a good cleanout, good luck with it mate.
