Good reason for a small delay top Fraser Trip !

[VladTepes]

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 !!! :D

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 !!!

[Grizzly_Adams]

Congrats Vlad! I'll bet you're thrilled :cool:

Can't wait to see how it performs on a trip - you gonna take this one on the race track at The Springs? ;):D

[VladTepes]

Yep its from a car yard - I hate a knowledgeable young fella have a look at it for me. Jeez didnt one of the salesman chuck a darkie when we started talking price. Was pretty damn funny really ! Anyway I'm happy, they oughta be happy and now just a few things to do and it'll be smicko !!!

Hmm, now just needs a name.

Me ? :wasntme:

Umm, no. :eek: 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....

[Chucaro]

Do you have a name for the Titanic yet :angel:

[VladTepes]

Better wait for the photos at least !

Surprisingly well.

She is (like I am) attached to the old girl "Doris" but I am under strict instructions that at least one of the landies has to go..... but not her range rover. Poor Doris I shall have to find her a good home !

I might buy it for Venessa instead of an FL2......



Has anyone got a spare room I can live in ????

If you did that, the spare room would have to be at least as far away as Esperance !!!!
