    Bought a 130 ! - Good reason for a small delay to Fraser Trip !

    Well I've had to delay my departure day from Sunday (oh that's today) until Tuesday so will only end up with 9 days on the osland - still a good holiday though.

    The reason ?
    Tomorrow I pick up my new (old) 130 HCPU !!!!


    It's the same year as my existing Ute but has a 300 Tdi engine.

    Addirtional Goodies:
    - well sorted suspension
    - ARB on board compressor
    - rear ARB airlocker
    - Winch bar, brushbars, side steps.
    - Steel canopy
    - Rear swing away wheel carrier
    - Hayman Reece tow hitch.
    - Auxilliary fueld tank
    - IPF spotlights.

    There is some minor work needs doing - mostly a hub seal, and I;ll get the pulleys / timing belt done as a precaution.

    Happy days !!!

    Hopefully I'll get a chance to do pics on Monday otherwise you'll have to wait til I get back from Fraser.

    (I'm taking the single cab to Fraser though)

    Edit: Here are a few pics !!!











    You like ??

    Me ?

    Umm, no. I don;t think I will. That'd be a good way to f*** a long wheelbase that's for sure ! If only I had more $ I''d keep the 110 for 'racing' but alas it'll have to go....
