    Hey RoverLord,

    I just bought a TD5 exhaust gasket kit from you today! (I am presuming you are the same Roverlord as RoverlordOffroadSpares on eBay).

    Already shipped, I see. That was quick.

    I've had a few PMs about more info on the vehicle. So I might as well detail them here once!

    She is a:
    - 2001 TD5 Extra cab
    - 135,000 genuine Kms (spent the last 6 or 7 years in my farm shed - run once a month around the farm)
    - Long range 127L fuel tank
    - Wolf Military diff and laminated rear axle. Special fit for Telstra as they were breaking the standard rear diffs.
    - Snorkel
    - Twin battery system
    - Bull bar + 9,000Lb Warn winch & IPF Spotties
    - Wolf rims
    - Michelin XZL tyres
    - New front/passenger seats
    - HD rock sliders

    Bad points are:
    - Passenger door lock missing the black button to lock/unlock
    - Needs a new exhaust gasket (ordered from Roverlord) as it has a 'squeal' under load at 2000RPM
    - Needs a good cut and polish, after being stored in a shed for so long

    Similar to the Mulgo conversion. Do you have an engineering certificate? Bob

    Yeah - I am wary of that. It's gone off track a little.

    My question is really, what is the best way to sell it:
    - As is, to an enthusiast, with the roof attached and a whole lot of parts in a box in the back
    - Remove the lift up roof, put on a new ceiling, and sell as is with a box of parts in the back (slightly bigger audience)
    - Remove lift up roof, put on a new ceiling and spray the whole lot white, fix the exhaust gasket, cut and polish, etc (biggest audience).

    Possibly to meet the requirements of the Road Transport [vehicle registration ]regulation 2007. If a major manufacturer has to comply, surely the home builder does too. I think you have done a great job, hope it goes to a good home, Bob

    You mongrel Spudboy. I want, I want, I want to finish it. In the last few months I've bought a new car, a Goldwing and doing a kitchen reno. I'm not game to mention it, even in jest.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Bob, Spud's shouldn't need certification as it's just a bolt on like a ute body. Mulgo are cutting the structure and have to certify that the integrity of the structure hasn't been comprimised.
