hmmm,, nice one Juddy.

I always wanted one of these, but I've not seen one where the roof rack incorporated into the canvas work like that.
So when you've had a play, can you tell me if the canvas is still removable (easily), or does it just allow you to roll the sides up,,, which is just soooo cool :cool:

The mesh rack sits on 4 rubber mounts that then attach to the frame, so you would have to take the rack of to fully remove the canvas.

Looks like mines had a rebuild, its like new underneath, with a some new parts fitted.

Its going to get a respray at some point, and a new canvas. Both are fine for the time being however.

It drives lovely, and the power steering is better than the puma, its more nimble too, and feels more sporty to drive than the 130..

4 new tyres came with it.

Other than a good clean, and the fitting on antennae and radio its going to stay as is until the upgrade....


Brakes seem fine so as Justin suggested I think we will leave them alone.

Thanks Juddy,, she certainly does look good. I'm so jealous :(, I wish I could afford one.
A nice high roof would be handy too if your going to sleep in the back.
Are you going to use her off road much, as in trips/four wheeling etc, or treat her more as a show piece?

Not too sure yet.

I was thinking of sleeping in the back for a up coming event , but its not possible, due to the frame at the drivers end.

But the doors don't have gaps on the puma, and you can hear the wireless.

But you will find that in the long run it will be a better vehicle than the electronic nightmare parked next to it;), with 60 thousand on the clock it will still be going when I'm dead n gone LOL cheers and enjoy it Dennis:angel:

Define nightmare, you have to live with the smell of cattle truck in front of you, eat dust as a form of cooling, and endure ear damage at 90klm while in the slow cooker. I know what I like to drive for long trips most of the year.

........only joking. Nice buy Judd.

I have the same type RFSV w/w, just got it licensed yesterday. I took off the roof rack (missing one rubber boot)and rolled the canopy back to the cab. I will drive that for a bit and then take it all off and see how the windscreen folds down.

Looks like mines had a rebuild, its like new underneath, with a some new parts fitted. I got a brand spankers air compressor underbonnet :)

Its going to get a respray at some point, and a new canvas. Both are fine for the time being however. Having a camo defender means my other 110 can stay white.:)

It drives lovely, and the power steering is better than the puma, its more nimble too, and feels more sporty to drive than the 130..

4 new tyres came with it. They gave me 3 spares??

Other than a good clean, and the fitting on antennae and radio its going to stay as is until the upgrade....

I had a few minor things to fix that added up to ~4k so as I could license it. It failed as the roll bar padding they made me get was not dense enough. I had to get the racing sti rated stuff.:mad: It is a fun machine though

Mine also had brand new Compressor unit.

I got 3 spares in total, one is a split rim.

Did you spend another 4k on repairs?
