At Giles(a meteorlogical town) on the WA / NT border,there were 6-7 75 series needing repairs from hard driving from the locals.
Rumour has it the local mechanic,who has gone feral,sells them for parts if they are in his workshop for too long.
I asked him if he had any good spares for sale and he was thinking about selling me one off a customers car,but decided he couldnt get away with it.
If I waited a week ,I could get some from a HJ61 he had bought to flip and was filled with tyres.
The HJ61 had broken down 2000 klms away and was waiting for a truck
I wanted to takie some pics of the 7* series graveyard but cameras are banned in indigenous communties without written consent

"Gone feral" LOL
Here in Ghana, when I first was here a mate's 80 series had a worn out injection pump... We arranged to "buy" one over the wall at the local dealer - cost about $100!!!!!!!!!!!
Back to the video - yup, always nice to see a well maintained troopy with one careful owner. Scarily similar to the stuff you see here - but..... sometimes the ingenuity is amazing.
