Brilliant story.
Good to see a Cruiser from Africa finding it’s way to another passionate owner on another continent.
Enjoy the restoration and keep on posting
Regards from Cape Town
I bought the Troopy from a mining company in Botswana.I stripped it down completely and over a four day period washed out all the mud,grime and stones.
I had it completely resprayed in the Toyota Olive Colour and then re-did all the mechanicals.
New Old Man Emu suspension
New upholstery...
Very interesting conversion.
I built a Chevy LM 7 motor into my Troopy.
Everything standard except for motor and conversion from diesel to petrol.
Standard manual gearbox and drivetrain.
Keep up the good work
