No idea haha did the cardinal sin of buying blind off of eBay, but I'm preety confident as the owner is only selling as they have bought a D2.

If it's rotten it doesn't matter as you don't need an MOT in Victoria and I can make my money back, piece of **** if I have to scrap it. The ARB is worth $1000 alone

such a cowboy! oo nice arb's

The current owner is a opera and folk singer so not the scamming type and she seems preety decent so I'm not scared

Not got lockers but the roo bar on the front is ARB, the lights are worth a couple of hundred too and it's got a full tank of gas and petrol. Win win

Not sure I'll look it up but I'm sure it's a Aussie layland made one, I've seen your engine rebuild but need to do some more research into the engine seems like a gooden

Basically got bored with England and after going to NZ 2 years ago I've got the travel big and wanna see and so as much as I can plus wages are a lot better here and the weather and atmosphere is awesome

It's not too bad down here. Easy to deal with if you've got shade or AC

I'm a farm worker mostly but I do some work at a mechanics shop when the farms quiet. Working around while I travel
