I think Esperance was the capital in WA for Scout sales in the early 80's.
Was tempted to get one myself but the parts were expensive then in comparison to other vehicles even at my staff cost.
Used to have a regular customer in Newman ordering parts every second week. These were in the days before credit cards and dealing over distance with cheques etc was a bit of a hassle. I was relieved one day when he announced he had enough of buying so many parts and he was going to buy a Land Cruiser.
About 6 months later I got a call, he had decided he didn't like the Land Cruiser and had bought himself another Scout. Only this one was a manual and he wanted to convert it to auto. He did it and I don't think I have had to import so many parts from the US for one customer since.
Would love to see how your project goes. Good luck
what a weapon
