HI Steve.

My apologies for the lack information. She started her life as a WFP vehicle moving people around Swaziland . I took delivery at just over 400 000 km an was stock Standard.
For me the first 80k km was as a work family/ work vehicle , She's now been promoted to a pure Family car and is getting the love an attention she deserves.
Have Built a front Bumper , aluminum Roof rack so far , busy with the Back bumper. Had Custom Canvas seat covers made and installed. Have pulled the interior out to install Sound deadening and change from Carpet to plastic floor sheeting.
Have all my materials ready to build a custom center console and back drawer system . I've done all the maintenance and servicing myself since i got her , about to do a Timing belt , tensioner pulley and water pump replacement .

Towing 11 to 12 tonne on some slippery mud mmmm nice and looks like you got some pretty serious welding skills going on on your front bumper must say you are an overnight sensation with your very much improved picture taking skills thank you very much Marius for posting up your pictures
