Australia!!!

I am down in Australia for a few weeks and staying with some friends who happen to have rovers. He has a nice regular Series 2a regular 109 with a holden engine and high ratio diffs, sunshade, etc. He also picked up a reasonably clean S1 project for very little $$$. I have seen a very clean defender 130 crew cab down here and a very nicely setup newer 110. Lots of cool land cruisers too. Have to say I have fallen in love with the Land Cruiser HJ79's (think thats the one)...troopy's as they are referred too. newer ones have a V8 turbo diesel.

The early ones are eligible now to import here. Problem is finding one that is not on it's last legs, or is affordable. When I was down there, I saw a few hitop camper conversions on the Toyoyas, that led me to search for a Carawagon, and ended up with my 110 hitop ambulance.
