New toy

mymini007 · 29-07-2013, 15:09

Hello people,

I have just joined the world of the nissan patrol

I needed a 4x4 for work, and with a limited budget of under £1000 GBP I was a little limited on my choices.

A friend of a friend put me in touch with another friend who had a 1994 Nissan patrol for sale, with in my price range.

I went to have a look and came home with this ..............................

......for £600, I am normally a big fan of Land rovers, but after 2 days on site with the partol I am thinking that after the contract has ended I may be able to restore it back to something nice for camping and family use.

It came with the off road wheels and tyres as it sits too, Im no expert but I would say they are worth what I paid for the truck ?

tyres and rims worth about £200, still a bargain!

Thanks Deano, need to know more about yours, it looks great. If mine looks half as good as that I will be happy.

I have a list of bits I need to get sorted or replaced, but struggling to find.

Fez_uk · 29-07-2013, 16:48

both axles are worth £500-600 too!
