Im on my phone at the moment so too lazy to do a forum search.
Wagon has been garaged maybe 5 years due to "only needing a fuel pump" Looks tidy. on HTs so probably never been abused.
My concerns: petrol; are these known to be thirsty or explodey?; auto, good box? needs aftermarket cooler?; can't see the fuel pump, is it mech' lifter? or electric? 3rd row, it doesnt have, but I have a source for seatbelts, anyone got the jimmy seats under their house?; any general advice, places to look for rust? suspension issues? etc
The guy with the seatbelts has parked his cos the trans shat itself (lost OD) which seems to be a common issue (diesel, though)
Wisdom appreciated.

Don't. But if you must, very thirsty, not that grunty. Trans is GM4L30e (a relative of the Commodore trans) if it's not a factory 7 seater, there's more to it than finding seats and belts. The boot floor is different. Others may love the isuzu v6 but I hate it. Just about any other v6 is better IMHO.
How hard can it be?

Thanks, kinda came to that myself.
Fuelly shows an average 16L/100km. Floor in the back of it has latches and mounting points for 3rd row so dont see that being a problem. I'll give it a miss.
Anyone want to buy one for parts? 900 bucks out of Whangarei.
