but sometimes when ya see a gem, ya just gonna go for it
As some of you may recall, i am taking on a new project with the BMW of doing a full body restoration.
To get to and from the rental workspace, I'll need something that can haul tools etc. as the Lexus isn't good at hauling tools
After viewing several filthy and overpriced Ford Rangers, I decided to shift my thinking and consider a wagon (heck, that's what they use in Europe after all!).
249kms (156k miles)
For a fraction of the price and a little elbow grease, I decided on this charming little machine.
Working a/c as well as full maint. records from new(and it passed the PCV "glove test")!
Heated seats still work too!
Really needs a set of tires and there's some noise in the suspension (easily addressed from info on the web).
Trans fluid still looks decent and shifts firm, yet soft. Engine is the NA inline 5.
Few electrical issues, but nothing that a little time investigating on the internet can't remedy
onto the pics....
Cheers!
