i've driven 80's and 105's around Africa and the ME, and now own an 80. That being said, I paid alot for the one i have but am now seeing them for less than half what i paid. Coil suspension is definatly cheaper to lift, and the 80's ride alot smoother than the 60's. If your looking for something rust free you can always start looking on CL in Northern Cali, there are tons of Cruisers out here and go for good prices. I know the Canuck versions are RHD but i do know that there are factory kits out there to switch things back to the southpaw side, we did it several times in Africa. I plan on going to Diesel as well in a few years when my motor finally gives up the ghost. Good luck!
