Just another nugget

[oyamum]

Hey guys.

so I don’t post much but am always reading and lurking..

so over the years iv lost count how many 4x4s iv had.
but iv had a few Mazda and courier minitrucks and have always had a soft spot for an old nugget…

so I bought this cheap courier last week for $1500 site unseen…

anyway I won’t bore you with details but after some cleaning, painting and new wheels and tyres I think she’s come up alright…

Roadworthy next week hopefully..

That will be a reliable old bus, better than the new garbage that gets pumped out these days that is only good for 10 years and 250,000km before the maintenance costs as much as buying new again....

I totally agree mate…

iv got a spare engine , gearbox and diffs (I doubt I’ll ever need them lol)

but she is cheap to run, cheap to fix and no frills ….
Just the way I like it lol

That's a winner.
I suspect it's a petrol for that price ? How many klm ?

Yeh mate she is dual fuel.

I honestly can’t remember the k’s..
To be honest when I buy cars of this age I take little notice of the mileage and look more at the condition..
In my opinion they tells ya more about reliability..

this 1 had a reco head and reco gearbox with clean oil and green coolant so I reckon someone took care of it most of its life
