Pull off the Nissan badges and put on Subaru ones..... I dare you!

Sounds like it has the goods, what did you pay for it?

It might be equally capable off road as a subaru, but is it as quick? it does weight more than twice the L series

It will have a sticker mentioning Subaru may be in the form of Subaru recovery vehicle.

I paid just under 10 for it

Well i picked my patrol up last Saturday. Very happy with it here are a few happy snaps of it. Haven't done any major 4x4 stuff yet on a small sand track near home.

It was only a matter of hours till I started to dismantle the car and install some stuff like my mp3 cd player mobile phone car kit.

Also took possession of a set of lightforce 240 blitz, So you think I shall see at night now?

Test fit Just a little bit bigger

Forgive my ignorance, but what's happened to the wagon? Any bits available?

Subafury · Post by **Subafury** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 12:36 pm

lapsed had no luck selling his 4x4 subi as a whole so he parted it out to get some money in his pocket. the best part is left- ej25 with loom and adaptor plate etc.
