I didn't actually win the auction I got stuck in traffic. and missed it by two minutes... I was like 'f#@kin hell. Then Jason contacted and said the winner wanted to pay in two weeks time.. Jason told him to F.O. and offerd it to me for less than I bid .. so I was up on the deal....... im going to go for this Style. https://www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/custom-4x4s/custom-4x4-toyota-80-series-land-cruiser-dual-cab

I reckon a man of your talents should knock something similar within 12 months.
 
I seriously never thought this day would come. Not in my lifetime. Any pics?

I actually thought about a demountable body for adventures etc And a demountable pickup/tub for work/ other stuff.. Got the idea from an old Citroen with a demount Roma home that's parked up down the Marina.. Then I thought it seems like too much hard work.. Keep it standard , Work with what you got!
 
Give my regards to Jay when you spk to him. Are you coming up yourself?
No afraid not.. Trucks being picked up about 1pm on Sunday. Im gonna phone him tonight. so il pass on your regards. Hes gonna chuck in the original wheels as a good will gesture.. So those low profiles that are on it will be on ebay soon.... ps I know its the least of my worries but do you remember it having a sun roof?
 
Putting out the feelers already ... ? Have you got a good deal on delivery?
£325 all in Worksop to Sandwich .. Not bad really. I would have been well over weight if I fetched it my self with my truck and tri axle with an 80 series on top. And Diesel wear and tear. I think the driver is dropping off at me then has a back load from Dover docks which is 10 mins away.. so hes quids in....

Sounds reasonable. I would have offered to help out next week but I’m sure the seller wants it off his driveway as soon as possible.
