Marc's GX Liberty

Well this car was originally bought 4year ago for Jerome, a Mauritian friend. After a year it was sold to Aurelien who used it for about 2years and added a 2 inch lift kit and took the car to the gold coast and back. He then also left and now a friend called Marc bought it.
Shame we didn't take any pics the day my first friend bought it. After Aurelien installed the lift kit it looked like this...
After some convincing from me, Marc added a proper Bullbar, Front forester shocks and springs, Raised rear shocks and springs(Thx John) and Forester rear trailing arms and Forester Mags. We also replaced a rear wheel bearing as we thought that was the of the rattle noise at Paul's shop but turn out it was the main bearing in the gearbox. So after shopping around for a box, the cheapest we found was $400. That was too much. A week later we bought a rear smashed Lib with 100k's less on the clock for $300:) We then swapped gearbox and engine and every other good parts it had.
At the moment its nearly finished, we have to swap the interior carpet and some trims and unfortunately replace the TPS sensor as the one on the engine got ripped while moving and doing the transplant:(
Anyway this is what she looks like:)
