So I bought this 80 a couple of months back, she's a 1997 24v manual in grey.
It had been stood for 6 years before I got it so needed recommissioning.
My plan is to tidy it right up into a good useable truck. I don't plan to do any heavy off-roading or overlanding.

First few jobs included servicing, fluids and belts change. Alternator, batterys, and radiator change. Also I finally managed to get the aircon working after the pump shat itself when I had it gassed up.

Next was swapping out the horrid sliding rear windows plus tyres and and powder coating the wheels.
