New Patrol owner

Hi All,

My name is Luc and I live in Derby. I have been messing with various cars for past few years and now finally managed to buy my first Nissan Patrol

It's a Y61 2.8 Long. It came on a 3-4 inch lift and decent tyres (235 85 16 MT) It has seen some offroading...
It must have been a light version as rust took some body bits away

This is now done so it should last for few years.

I have cleaned it up as it was a mess inside. Refurbing rear calipers this weekend so it's ready for MOT.

By the way tyres will be for sale soon as getting steel wheels (ET-25) and 285 75 16 MTs

The plan is to turn it into expedition truck, so roof rack, bed inside, spots, etc... For the moment however I need to sort out the cold start issue my struck suffers from.

Welcome from another Patrol owner. Your plans sound like a prime subject for a build thread

. And it is actually forum law that you provide many pictures for us to drool over
