A definite goodbye to my trusty Patrol.

Unfortunately Rick, all the parts went up in flames. Hopefully I dan get the insurance to pay out for them but not holding my breath. The DMF looks in reasonable shape but I don’t want to sell anything on as I don’t know how it has been affected by the fire.

There is a nice looking Patrol on the net. Comes with a clean MOT but checking the previous MOT’s it had many advisories and fails. Happy to buy a Patrol and do some work to it. If I could find a high milage 2.8td I might just transplant my own engine as that seems to have survived the worst. Needs a few new belts and the wiring loom is burned on first look it seems reasonable.

I was hoping to remove the car from the garage in the next week. That would give me a better chance to have a look at it. The interior is completely gone but I am hoping to save the axles. Potentially for a new project once all is done and dusted. We will see.
