Softroader VW Amarok nowadays.... 

Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
join the que for a lwb one. shorties are there for the taking tho
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
yeh just gotta be quick for the decent SWB ones ay, and Im not realy willing to spent 10-13g on a stock LWB one when I just going to cut the back off it anyway
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
Theres a few auto LWB's popping up, but I'm still iffy as to whether they are the way to go or not. Took a mates for a drive yesterday, and it was very sluggish off the mark, but a manual is rare 

Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
yeah Im the same, think Id rather a manual and especially if im guna run 35s or 36s. cos I know there no powerhouse and dont see me turboing one straight away either

Dave, if you pick up an auto and want to drop a manual in it, then let me know. I've got everything here (except gearbox) for the conversion.
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
Pics of Hi roof Ute chopped would be great cheers, just cant picture them really, do like the low roof ones though!!

Thanks, if I buy it, I will be doing the conversion eventually, but would be good to have everything in advance. Will be in touch.
Cheers

Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
looks awesome in white!

Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
Yeah I reckon it does!, planned on painted whatever one I got white anyway so saves me a bita work.Its an AD model which I guess is basic model? cos its got manual windows & no A/C.
Think that could be a good thing

Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
I've got a white guard with a safari snorkel attatched sitting in my shed, not a very common colour, but the best one IMO
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
89 Safari, Manual, diesel, Ive only ever seen patrols in white but it is the factory colour, looks like it used to have huge ugly graphics down the sides.Probably get a repaint after the holidays if I can be bothered,definatly white again though. Says its an AD model on the rego if that means anything? real happy with it, got it for 5800 so not bad price either.
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
Mine had AD stuck on the back door. Has elec windows, a/c, rear locker. But no gauge cluster under the rear vision mirror. And my rear seat seems a bit funny like its too close to the front seats. Otherwise same as every other safari I've seen. Minus the rust most have.
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
Awesome mate! All the best with the mods.That vehicle will look the part with 35's.Not to mention do all the tricks for you.
89 SWB Patrol Lpg/petrol 5spd, body lift, spring lift,headers & high flow,Custom front bars 9000lb winch and 4x100w hella spots,custom rear bars and stainless fuel tank,Hankook 35/12.5/15x10 rims.
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
thanks, just hope everything arrives before xmas!! I always thought the rear seats folded all the way forward but mine dont seem to, is it just me or they all like that?
Re: Wanted Safari/Patrol
Haven't seen a seat that doesn't fold all the way foward
Usually 2 levers, one to fold down, and one near the floor to fold foward

Nah hes not a panel beater he is a handyman he does everything from boats to tractors to cars, 4wd, even building.
He hasnt done anything to the Chassis kept it all original so he could make a full size deck.
I had propblems with the side pic so I will fix that this arvo and get that on here I will ask for1 of the back as well.
