Have been reading and learning heaps from this forum so thought id post a little about my latest ride. Picked up a stock 1988 L series a month or so ago for $500, was destined to be a pines basher but am having too much fun in it at the moment so it may end up as my 2nd daily hack. Its a povo pack with vinyl floors but is manual, dual range, bull bar, tow bar, working A/C (no heater though, stuffed core) and full service history from new! Since buying it have added (all spares from previous cars) cibie spotties, CB radio, CD/MP3 and some speakers and gave it a full service.
Been to wilbinga a couple times with it, but think i have screwed the clutch as the sand was so boggy and with 13" pizza cutters and no lift had to drive it pretty hard through some areas. Next trip will most likely be to wedge which will prob spell the end for the clutch and CVs (starting to make some pretty bad noises!)
Have a couple of pics that i will post up later but for now thats all, depending on how long it lasts may see a few perth members around the place as i try to get out somewhere every weekend. Carved up some hills in the pines at the end of sydney road in landsdale last night which was fun
But then again the car is not really parked anywhere other than in my garage, the rest of the time its getting a belting in the pines or dunes 
a pines beater.
