Well the time has come. I'm leaving Japan and I can't take her with me back to the states. I have to sell my baby. Send me an email at sniperx{at}as4l.com

The car started life as a 1989 BJ74. the PO then mated it with a 1991 drivetrain. The PO was an offroad shop owner and this was his demo model for new parts and things.

Rear tire bike rack (lightly used, door was never opened when loaded)

Interior things added by me:
CarPC running Windows
7inch? LCD touch screen
Mini-amplifier (CarPC didn't have any amp and risked burning up soundboard running car speakers with it)
Airline extension with tire filler

Repairs done by me (or for me):
All brake pads changed
~2000 mile oil/filter changes
Fuel pump rebuilt (done at Nippon Denso down the street)
KN Filter recharged
1 new battery
1 new taillight

This is how it looked when I drove it off the lot

This is when we just got the tent on it a year ago...

Those wheels and SS tires aren't on it anymore. I will have a current picture up shortly.

This car is located in Japan and can be imported into Canada.

I'm looking to get 11,500usd for it. This is a little less than I paid for it before the pump rebuild and rack/tent was installed. I'm getting back into VWs when I get back into the US...so could work something out in that angle for a split window Bus, transporter or 55 and under bug. What can I say....diesel got me hooked on simple and robust designs again.

I can arrange shipping and transport of the truck if needed.

P.s. No, the shrunken head on the trailer hitch is NOT included.

Very interested. I just arrived in Iwakuni, at the Marine air station. Please send some more pics to shawnisrathernifty at gmail dot com, or give me a call 080 3449 1775
 
That is a NICE rig!! What a s***ty bummer you cannot get it back home. I wish I could buy it, but I am in the States
 
Its got a 1HZ in it . What happened to the 13B-T? I wont ask.
I hope things work out for you
 
Yes, the JP auction is almost line for line the same as the Ebay auction which is the same as the text above. I dictated it to my wife who cleaned it up and wrote it out. Theres no secrets in the JP auction...in fact the english version has a little more info.

I bought it with the 1HZ already in it, so dunno really about the old 13. The turbo is also noted in the Ebay auction as well. Here is a clip:
