Oh, so you searched for "truck cab conversion", but it didn't find the thread titled Truck Cab Conversion?


Damn that Kardashian chick for breaking the internet!

I went and checked out the Townsville vehicles that starts on the 11 Dec today. They are all write offs. Three of the 110s had significant panel damage from roll overs etc and the 4th is a non goer I believe. The 6x6 is in poor shape and the 6 wheel polaris bikes are very damaged. 1/2 trailers look okay though.

What's wrong with the 6X6, it looks ok in the pics with no mention what makes it incomplete and not operational (apart from the missing mirrors).

I don't know. It didn't look like it was a runner. All of the tray was bundled up in bits. Not sure if it was all there.

Cheap parts for a lifetime maybe..maybe just break it down into bits and put everything in the shed, if you have the room

I rang the Grays bloke in Townsville - he was absolutely useless:-

Can you tell me more about the Land Rovers?
The vehicles are incomplete and non operational
That could mean a hole lot of different things. Does the vehicle start and run?
The vehicles are incomplete and non operational.
Can I start the vehicles the vehicle during the inspection?
The vehicles are incomplete and non operational. Most of them have no batteries.
What about the log books?
No log books, the vehicles are incomplete and non operational.

awesome. Could be a bargain or a disaster? I'm really just after the engine and gearbox etc for my Defender. Is it worth a 800km round trip for a look when you can't start and drive them?
