After offloading the Range Rover to some madman up in NSW, the hankering for a Solihull product never quite went away. Recently I find myself more and more wanting a sturdy old 110 with an Isuzu lump under the bonnet...
Having read through some of the posts in the forum, i'm now at the stage where i'm about to try and locate my future vehicle. There's a rather nice one on Carsales, a bit above my budget, but it already has RWC and four months rego (plus it's had a nifty matt black paint job, which was on my to-do list). And there are some ex-auction ones down at AWM in Geelong which i'm planning on going to see on the weekend.
I'm leaning towards the ready-to-go option, as I figure once i've faffed around getting an unregistered and potentially incomplete vehicle up from Geelong, spent a bit of coin getting it through a roadworthy etc., it all evens out. I was thinking of waiting until the next AFM auction down this way but that could be months and I have camping and off-roading trips I want to partake in before too long.
I guess the point of this post is to say hi, and ask the forum for some guidance. I know my way around a car, and I know my way around a 110 (it's been a while though). One thing I know very little about however is the Isuzu 3.9, so any assistance would be gratefully received...
