Maybe if you whistle and use hand gestures it will come closer to the fence?

Don't mind the color though

BTW: haven't lived in Melbourne since 86 but "Scoresby Panels" seems familiar...have they built known show cars in the past?

Looks ok I'd go around it with a metal detector if I was buying just because it looks to be a quick flip

Reminds me of a funny time up in Darwin in the late 80's when a mate bought a shiny red Hilux 4wd about 5 years old to come out bush with us. It was a caryard special with the pinstripe/graphics of a lassooing cowboy down each side like all yards did back then.

As he was fairly new to offroading we took him mostly through washouts and dirt tracks in the Rum jungle that were bumpy but not too bad. After an hour we all stopped and noticed large cracks in the passenger door paint. By the next stop he had lost about a dinner plate sized bog patch about an inch thick from the middle of his door. By days end we were all now picking cracks and bog slippages in his "schmick" rig as the rough terrain exposed it all. He was thoroughly pi$$ed off so we administered green pills (VB cans) and all had a laugh.

My Hilux was a dog to look at, but a beast...it really went everywhere

For some reason I'm standing on my car again, but at least I look cool in my Bananas in Pyjamas t shirt lol.
Bought this off a settlement with 38,000kms stock but not a straight panel. It had the words to the Motorhead song Ace of spades scratched into the roof. It had suffered a hard life. I gave it the van treatment, put in a 202 with Yella Terra head, extractors, side exhausts, Goodrich TAs, another useless CB and big aerial, SAAS seats, tinted windows and another freakin' sunroof. Used to sleep in the back when camped by certain rivers (Crocs!!) Note the number plate

bleave it or not but that model lux is very very high on my list i think its the 87 model with a sort of jail bar grill that i have a real soft spot for my daily is a 97 ln106 single cab hilux with the mighty 2.8D
always late in a 2.8
but never have i failed to show up lol
in truth it gets treated as well if not better than my panel van
if i ever have to replace the cab on mine that's the model cab that i am finding fixing and fitting to my chassis

there is nothing wrong with bananas in pajamas t shirts or motor head odd combination Razz

and as far as the bog goes me and a mate once apon a time bought and flip 70 series cruisers from auctions and mines the new blokes to the auctions would flock to the shiny straight ones were we looked for small to medium dents creases we learnt the hard way mind you that bog doesn't crease or dent lol
we bought one once that rolled into a catchment pond wasnt running at the time so the motor box diff weren't to bad but it was full of silt we left it at my mates back padoc pointing down hill trying to get to drain to dry out before we attacked it about a month later we go to pull it down and there is a lush green interior that had sprouted the seats carpet even the dash had stuff growing out of it but after hot wiring it the bloody thing started and drove i lost 50 over that
