you bast*ard MR...lol
You are not going to believe this but after driving an hour on rough dirt road on the way home the air con blower elec wire broke off It's zip tie and fell onto the chassis.
Long story short, it shorted out and blew the main 65amp IGN fuse and the Patrol is stuck at my brothers...lol....Off to a flying start!!!
Spent half the day trying to get a new one, Repco and Autobarn don't stock them and 3 auto elecs on the way home didnt have them.
My auto elec mate does have them but he's not back until tomorrow!
I'm going to drive to my brothers house now as I did promise I will have pics up tonight...lol...Bloody hell guys....lol
Back in 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the pics AB, looks a treat mate. Where did you find it mate?
Nice pick up AB ,Stock and ready for mods !!Low kms for its age too.
Cheers Mike
Yeah it has taken over 6 months to find this...lol
They bought it new and live down at Rye....(South east coast of Port Phillip Bay) so I was concerned about rust.
They garaged it 100% and they actually lived up in the hills of Rye which would have also helped with sea breezes, etc)
Anyways I can't find any rust anywhere apart from inside the rear side windows (standard spot) and It's not too bad either.
never offroad, never dirt road actually...lol....Mate It's been so well looked after, fussy retired bloke serviced it himself every 10,000km, drained the tanks too as he was paranoid about water. Still has the factory stickers on the diff, gear box and transfer...lol
Drives 100%, looks neat outside for a 20 year old car (few scratches, etc).....Perfect blank canvas!!!
Forgot to mention it did cost me 10k but I think thats a good price for this kind of condition and km's.
He was asking 11k but the stubborn bugger wouldn't go any lower...lol
If i had of walked away that night it would have been gone the next day for sure, I was the first to ring 1 hour after he put it on Carsales and drove down that arvo..lol
I was like a hawk!!!!!!!!!
Good Buy AB Pity it wasnt White
Very nice GQ you have there AB, well done mate, enjoy
Very nice AB, looks like a top rig and can't wait to see what you do with it:bigthumbup:
If ya need any help with any elec work feel free to give me a bell as I am quite happy to organise a hand and beer if needed Haha
Lucky you spotted it when you did , good ones don't hang around long at all.
Nice one mate!!!!!!!!
nice work AB, like it mate.............. if you really really want a whitey, I'll swap ya hahahahaha
Top stuff Andy, she looks like a keeper. Looking foward to the builup, stay safe mate.
Very nice rig there a.b congrats on your find
It's simply beautiful!!! Could be Tanks twin brother!!! LOL ... Mine was stock as a rock also mate, and whoever had it prior had obviously taken good care of it, so use your words, a "blank canvass" was what I was after also!!
The clock starts now ... You have approximately 14 months to get it prepped for the forum meetup!!!
And btw, you really should add a turbo to your list of mods!! LOL
haha, I actually have a problem right now Fletcha but I'll just bring an auto elec guy I know up to have a look if I can't work it out.
I blew the main 65amp fuse on Saturday arvo. The one under the bonnet that is a large black fuse with the see through window (STARTER ALT - BLACK). I think It's the main ignition fuse.
Now I originally thought I found the problem as the air con motor wire was rubbing against the chassis (YEARS OF RUB MARKS ON CHASSIS) and I have now fixed that but I would think if that shorted out then it would blow the little 15 amp ones under the dash before it got to the big monster fuses.
Anyways I will go to Hall4x4 wreckers today and grab some new ones and see what I can find tonight.
The problem must be shorting out something major like from the battery to the alternator or something major from the battery.
I'll get some fuses today and see if I can find a fault tonight. It happened exactly as I went over a bump going into my brothers driveway. If I can't find where It's shorting out then I'll get an Auto Elec up this week.
Well I have ordered two of these to come in tomorrow...
I tell you what folks grab yourself a spare one of these, I have tried Bursons, Autobarn, Repco, half a dozen auto elecs, wreckers, 4x4 parts suppliers, etc but no one has any in stock.
Could save you one day in the bush!

Bloody good advice AB & thanks for the heads up old mate.
Good things come to those who wait.........
Although 25 years is a bit long to wait.
I have a full wiring diagram on the gq so I will check what that fuse runs tomorrow for ya AB, might help find the problem
Fletcha
Yeah, just think being out in the bush and it dies, it would be enough to make you blow a fuse. :-)
I found the problem Fletcha so thanks anyway mate. It was actually quite simple if you look hard enough.
The earth and positive wire going from battery to alternator were hugged tight and both wires had rubbed to expose their evil power and zammo!...lol
Hence the big culvert I went in which mustve shorted the fuse out!
Easy fix up, fixed the exposed wires, all done, just bent 65 amp fuse back to check and it all runs 100000000%
I'll get the new 65amp fuse tomorrow plus a spare plus a spare of the rest so this never happens again.
Back on the road again...ba domm doom doom doom doom!
Nice troll AB, glad it's not white, Wazza suits blue. We all know that red heads get called bluey, so bluey can't be!
lol
Tim
Well the tool who was supposed to order my main fuse forgot to do it last night so I have to wait another day....ARRGGHH!!!
Getting withdrawls already!
Those fuses look awfully like the ones out of Ford sedans.
Hey Clunk, Offer him one with a 65amp Ignition fuse mate...He might swap then and its white!!!!
Damn! its got allot going for it!! AB you should really give that some thought mate.....:tease:
