Oooh!
It looks better in your garage.
You need a trailer for it now.
I'll be around in a few weeks to have a look. Put the kettle on.
Hi All,
Bought this in the recent Vic auctions...
I will have a good look around it on the weekend - it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home.
It drives though! It came with a full tank of juice and started first pop..!
Cheers,
GG

Looking very nice Tom,,,
As Mick says, put the kettle on, we'll be over soon
you can be right for the next googs run mate
Up at GG's place today and had a good look over it - and took it for a quick spin.
Seems to be in very good condition - has a new front diff - disk to disk in it, new front prop shaft, new tyres. Gearbox is smooth in all gears - even when cold. 24 volt system is complete and has 4 batteries still in it (condition unknown).
Ripper little unit, apart from a tub it's ready for a RWC.

I don't plan to do a lot to it:
* Wash It
* Change all of the fluids
* Install a traxide light upgrade kit (relays)
* Fix the drivers door strap/stay
* RWC
* Enjoy it..
Cheers,
GG

Yep all good Gav, new head gasket, slight head shave and back on the road. Could have been a lot more serious if not for the low water alarm. I will post up a pic of the head gasket later in the week when I get home. The head hadn't been torqued down properly, some of the bolts were noticeably easier to remove than others.

Hi All,
The Perentie is down at the mechanic's awaiting a RWC - which I am reasonably confident it will pass. While it's there I've asked the mechanic to:
* Complete service (fluids & filters)
* Install a Traxide head-light upgrade kit
* Install an engine saver
* Install a remote kill switch
Last weekend I went down to see the mechanic. The mechanic is a good guy, but unfortunately a little slow at times - I think that (naturally) he spends time repairing daily drivers and he knows that the Perentie is going on club plates, so it's not exactly urgent.. (At least in his eyes! )
Anyway - I had a look at the Perentie while it was up on the hoist, and apart from a good clean underneath - it appears to be in great condition. As Gav mentioned - it has a completely new front axle assembly, and everything seemed to be in good condition from what I could see.
I asked him if I would need to remove the 4 x radio mounts (or the tool holders) for RWC and he said: "Nah - it's not your daily, I'd just leave them on"..
The mechanic asked me: "Where did you get this? It's in great condition, sit's on 100km easily and drives great.".. He couldn't believe that it was built in 1988....
While waiting for the RWC, I have done a little late night shopping...
Some Perentie Tac Plates:

The correct Tac Plate for the unit that my Perentie was assigned to:

I can't wait to get the car back, registered on club plates, and start using it!!!
