For that price I have to ask. What's wrong with it? Or is it just really high kms?

Well that certainly is a result - it wouldn't matter if it was a 2,3, 4 or 5 door at that dosh.

Bloody good buy. Enjoy it.

Well know the ideals for doing that as Andy who built that lived round the corner from me in the Uk and i was the chairman of the Shires and he was my Vice chairman and a team mate on Off road winch challenges. The truck above Moglite does have a disco chassis like mine so its an idea but i think they won't let it in most of the winch challenges

But Nah proberley get glen at Brothers to make it into a ute and then would like to do the outback challange in it but looking at least two years away for that

When I was looking 6-12 months ago Brissie Discos with that many kms were still asking $6k+ and those were the ones that looked mistreated. The good condition high km ones were closer to $10k. I think you got very lucky. However they seemed to stay for sale forever. The owners never seemed to like my comparatively low offers.
I had to go to Sydney to get one for a realistic price.

Assuming you did buy it in Brisbane.

Well that's a pretty good deal then.

Wasn't the dash peal sorted by 1996? My 1994 model has the dash clamp thing fitted to hold the peal down. Either way I've seen the dash base assembly for a 1997 under $50 on ebay before. Would have got it if it was in Brissy.
