Cliffy and any others that have had a look at the RFSVs today, I would interested in your opinion of their condition? To me they looked pretty rough, all with bush pinstriping and dents of varying degrees, some big hits to the chassis rails and axles and other wear and tear. The FFR and 6x6 looked fairly tidy though?
I won't be bidding on these, they don't really fit with my proposed project build. I only hope we get a future decent auction of GS and FFR 110s.
Cheers,
Hello all you AULROians, did anyone make it to the Perth grays online inspections today? I'm away at work and couldn't get there. What condition are they in?
Regards,

Yeah, well used and abused.
They were all around the same condition.
Lots of evidence of heavy off road use and encounters with rocks.
Body work OK and most had their CES.
All canopies well used and one ripped.
Definitely well used and abused and looking pretty rough. I saw some much tidier examples in Darwin a couple of years ago. A guy I talked to mentioned that he noticed that one of the RFPV's had only a single fuel tank as the other had been removed. Don't know if that is mentioned in the descriptions.
Lots of things like that don't get mentioned in the descriptions.Quote:

A few were leaking deisel from cracked tanks.
Some had evidence of chassis repairs (cracks I was talking about).
Most had output shaft leaks. Most had blow by in the head (some alot worse than others).
No smokey joes that I saw.
CES was present in all but one I inspected. Even Hilift jacks were in the back along with spare tubes and hession.
One had obvious salt corrosion on the galv chassis (too lazy to walk down the beach for a swim).
I have pics of some of them but too late at night to re-size all to upload.
I surrender Cliffy. CES means......?
