I will keep the VY and use this as a toy.....
Haven't made a decision yet.......

And the best bit is that the Canopy comes off, so in summer it could be lots of fun......

Looks pretty cool. But all depends on how serious a TOY its gonna be, will it hold up to what you want it to do? Or would it be better to get somthing cheaper and older like this one, if its not gonna be used that much

Well, I've had it a few days, and so far I have changed the Oil and Filter, Advanced the timing, Replaced coolant, Gearbox Oil, Transfer case Fluid, given it a general cleanup, will have to spend a fair few hours on cleaning up wiring around the engine bay, and removing unused items like air con condenser and plumbing, fuel lines, fuel pump, filler tube etc,

It goes really well!! heaps of torque, and pulls hard from low rpm with 33" tyres.... So Far very Happy, I will post some pic's as I work through it....
