Upgraded exhaust
ARB "Dakar" brush bar added + IPF spotlights & clear covers + Side/Fender rails + Step rail/Rock slider

After import:
P/O replaced front brake calipers - 2020
T-case rebuilt - Rear main seal replaced - by Torfab - Dec 2022
Fuel tank pulled & cleaned/rust eradicated & resealed - July 2022
Replaced fuel draw tube + screen/filter OEM
Rain gutters wire brushed & sealed with self leveling seam sealer - Oct 2022
Replaced rear light gaskets
Replaced rear vent gaskets
Replaced rear sway bar bushings
Recently swapped Euro Spec. side mirrors for new OEM 70 Series mirrors (euro mirrors included)
Replaced sprayed black grill with new Chrome grill
Mechanical:
Starts right up - little to no smoke as it warms up
Mechanically solid - I haven't had any major issues (only surprise was the dirty fuel tank, fixed now) - Has been my off & on daily driver for the last 2+ years
Small oil leak - a few drops @ the end of the day parked - Torfab inspected & recommended no further action
Recently drove from Seattle to San Francisco & back -- No issues at all & the 61 performed great
Transmission has been running great - but would likely be the next part I would want to have gone over due to age - No issues but showing its age & wouldn't hurt to have it serviced.
Exterior/body:
Clear coat is failing - roof/hood/doors have signs of clear coat peeling/blistering - paint underneath is holding fine
Nearly rust free body and frame - A couple small paint bubbles above the rear right fender / small area under the rain gutter (rear / right side) - small area under the A pillar -- No other rust that I have found other than a few areas of minor surface rust underneath.
Straight frame & solid body - no history of any accidents that I am aware of
Dent on the hood from a branch (before import) - Some other minor dents and dings but nothing that stands out
Gutters/roof edge had some rust repair - likely during the body off repaint in 2005 - All resealed now but some imperfections show if you're looking for them
Interior:
Good shape for its age, but still shows some use. Front passenger seat shows some wear and a couple small burn marks (Australian owner or his friend must have been a smoker, but no smell).
Dash isn't pretty - previous owner tried to cover the cracking original dash with something and painted over black - I now have a Grey Dash mat from SOR covering it & looks much better.
Carpet & Rear bench seat in good shape.
Interior trim mostly in good shape, there are a couple cracks and a missing trim panel @ rear seatbelt cover.
*Edit: After a deep clean today, I noticed there are a few more tiny nicks & cuts in the paint around the grill etc. than I initially mentioned above. Also another paint/rust bubble discovered: under the left a pillar. The gutters we're resealed last year so the moisture issue causing it is handled. I'll get a picture of the couple rust areas photographed.
**Camera flash made the underside pictures look off. I'll try to get some better pictures uploaded in the near future.
Asking $17,500
