Hi Gents,
Its been nearly 18 months since I got hold of my beloved Hardtop...Yet to give it a name...but not even 10,000 kms since I bought it...I bidded pretty hard for it considering it had 136,857 Km on the clock and 1599 on the hour meter...I was hoping that it had a new motor/ rebuild since another Hardtop had the same KM but 3000hrs on the clock...
Anyways upon stripping the hour meter i found to my disappointment that it had a broken drive cog in the clock.
Well I think it has been to Townsville and then to Timor.
It looks like it has had a touch up weld on the drivers side windscreen piller...I have noticed that the rubber is really perished for the windscreen, and has seen a lot of wet weather driving since i got it...
Any body have any tips/ advice to see if i should pull the windscreen out and do some rust proofing...since it has had a repair before. (i have a bucket type foot mats to catch the water when it rain)
Also anybody know any history on this vehicle.
Currently its parked up in a good shed, likely to say there until i finish my job in asia.
cheers
Russell
I will try to add some pics and a video in action later.
