Last week both of my road going vehicles gave up on me. I must’ve had at least 50 cars in my time (nearly all budget bangers) and I don’t recall any of them rattling an engine.
2006 Renault Trafic work horse developed a knock on evening so the e36 323i ‘vert was brought out of hibernation early the next morning. Let it tick over for 5mins while I necked a coffee in the house but it boiled itself whilst unaccompanied.
So, perfect excuse to replace the 2 with an all rounder I’ve been a fan of since I was a nipper! Our milk man had a brand new one in blue & I used to sit & wait for him. Think it was more the fact it had ‘TOY’ on the back.
Prepared to go across the water for a double cab Mk3/Mk4 or even Mk5 Hilux I totally overlooked this one in my hometown.. I’ve even walked passed it a few times! I think the advert pic didn’t do it any favours as it had been listed for over a year
Looks like a pear but it’s had all welding done, head gasket replaced, head skimmed, new steering rack etc. Drives tight as a drum.
It was left off to my body man last night so Monday should bring more aesthetically pleasing pics!
I’d be happy if we achieve something like this once I get hold of a set of wheels & tyres.
Cheers m’dears
