Just out of Kalgoorlie mate. Will get some pics when I go and get that swb 45

 

[HJ45]

Damn, that's a bit far for this old bloke to tow back.

 

[chookenz]

What are you doing buying flash new Landcruisers? WA run out of fixed-tops?

Henry, that old girl looks at home in that red dirt.

buying

buying?? as in paying money? that takes all the fun out of it cult!

red

at home in the red dirt. that's what I reckon too. that is some rust HJ45; but better a yard ornament than the scrappys! the old girl I pictured post #145 has an unusual alternator that doubled as a welder back in the day; quiet a contraption; leads and all. anyone ever struck anything like this? might try for more pics next time I pass that way.

just a few I know of stashed around the district for the viewing pleasure of my fellow mudders. here is "late model" for you cult. about 1984FJ45. factory power steer AND factory aircon. "hangar find" has a nice ring to it I reckon!

Hey west, I had a thought whilst in the throes of deep sleep last night regarding your column shift parts woes. 3D printing. These days they can 3D print anything and I'm pretty sure you can do it from a CAD drawing as opposed to needing the actual piece. Or use the piece IDK. But it's relatively cheap and you can run off ten of 'em and have yourself some spares.
