    I just put this in. All good so far and the warehouse is 5 minutes from your place.

    This will depend on what model td he ends up with.

    Ok the bloke just left with my trailer and I am up $2400... thats a start.

    Now a big question I am pondering is do I put my petrol engine on the market now or would that be silly???

    I am going to take a big hit there but I wonder what I could get for it....

    It has had a complete head makeover and new front and rear seals plus thanks to George and Billy for buying me a tow cam.

    Only thing is if you advertise it now so someone can come and see it running, it might take you 6 months to find a nice TD and by then they have got the shit's because they need a motor now...

    I will reiterate something I have said to you before these are just suggestions at the end of the day it's your decision and we will still give you advice either way.
    Hey Jonathan, good luck with it mate, sign me up for any working bee and I'd be happy to make some time for you mate.

    The above post from Matt is, in my opinion, the best advice you have recieved in this thread so far! Unless you can find a rolled over or written off TD wagon and get the whole car I think your chasing bad money with good money..

    Loose the sentimental, buy a TD wagon and take your good bits off your car and fit to the new wagon then sell you complete car. Or, strip your car of the bit you really really really need and seep the package for a good coin to fund the new TDGQ wagon. I just can't understand why you'd retain the current vehicle.

    If you move it on you can close the chapter and move on. Margarette will also not look at the different car in the drive with the resentment she had for the current one. If you throw another $5k at this car it is still the car in the drive that cost you and she sooo much money.

    Sell it and find a TDGQ rolling and ready for some love. Give it a new name and start living again mate.

    Best wishes and good luck mate.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Dont think you realise how much crap I have on this car and how long it would take to swap everything over.....????

    It would be far quicker and easier to swap and engine than all the other crap???

    All my stuff is new and anything I buy will no way have had just about everything replaced..

    My main goal is to find a rusted or rollover and only just missed out on a very good one as I stated earlier so they are out there.
