Well i finally got my new car on tuesday after droning on aboit for so long!

It's an 88 SWB GQ, 4.2 diesel (i love this engine, it pulls hard compared to a 3Y ;D ;D). It's as stock as can be, apart from a winch bar and electronic brake controller. Hardly been offroad. It's done 314k but, It's been serviced regulary, never been driven hard. The owner had it since new so it's in pristine condition. I paid $4250 for it with 2 spares, a cargo barrier and some other assorted stuff.

So heres some pics of my first day out wheeling in it (havent been out for about 6 months :-\)

This car is soooo much better than my hilux it's not even funny, i love driving it. I plan to get rid of those pissy rims and tyres and replace em with some black sunnys. Some new shocks, and all the usual stuff like UHF and crap. ;D
