I'm finally cashed up and ready to buy a 4wd.

I'd like to get a SD33T MK LWB, like the one I used to have, as first
preference. GQ's are probably out of my price range. ($4-8K). So I'm
probably restricted to mid 1980's Cruisers or Patrols.

Ideally I'd buy diesel, LWB, 7 seats, air cond, Qld rego'd and RWC.

I'm in Townsville, but willing to travel to NSW or Vic for the right car.

Anything else similar considered.

TIA

It does seat 5, I take it that you have more than 2 kids, worth a shot.

I think you've been after some of the same ones I have, what happened with
the MQ from brisbane for $6.5k that was on outer limits? The seller never
got back to me. Seemed very vague about service history and the like. I
since heard after market turbos on the 3.3 could break cranks anyway..

still looking

Yeah, he's a bit of a turkey, that bloke. I emailed him several times after
info, but he only gave me info that I already knew.........general specs of
Patrols etc. I think I'd rather a 4wd that hasn't been tampered with. Extras
such as snorkels, bull bars etc is fine, but suspension lifts and non
genuine turbos.......no thanks.

Yes, it IS true about turboing a SD33. The SD33T is a  (slightly) diferent
motor, built to handle the turbo.

Barnsey,
I've got a MK LWB SD33T, 7 seats, air etc that I'm having trouble
justifying keeping. If Sydney's not too far to travel, email me.
