    Great to have rollers to put the car on. The floor is tiles, but it still goes to move it with only one person as if i can reach the wall with my feet.
    My garage used too be a store that only sold beer actually That is why there are tiles

    New update!

    Printed out the manuals / bible and started checking the electrical wires on the car.
    A lot of work getting everything too work when several owners has made their own "adjustments" to the wires. Cut and spliced wires everywhere.

    Got some sound deadening glued on as well. And threw the carpets in a soapy bath over night. Not sure if that is enough to get them clean..

    Alot of job ahead of me, but hopefully well worth it.

    Will post some pictures when i get off work.

    This is the 2,8td and yes, it will be tuned. Going for Fmic, diesel compensator mod and 3 inch exhaust.

    Yes the front bumper is a rear bumper, looking for a proper one..

    My Garage is 215cm wide, the patrol is 210cm, on the fenders. Tight fit!
    G'day Mortn,

    Welcome aboard mate and i hope you are with us for a long time!

    PS, fark! that garage is small mate!

    Regards,

    RLI

    Wink

    new update. Drove 2500km last weekend to get a hold of a new interior in leather. Cars for spare parts is hard too come by here..

    So! new front bumper, new seats (7!), etc..

    Started putting the car together with washed (still looks dirty but smells like flowers) carpets, new seats and all the small bits here and there.

    Had a little problem with the washer and blinker handle. New wiring harness and old steering column. Don't fit properly but works

    Glued on some new carpets and started the work with the front bumper.
    The old one was rubbing the tires and just looked way too small.
    Easy fix with parts from my spare one.
