Looks like the one the owner of Delta 4wd in Blenheim owned. If it is, Muddy or other local club members might know a bit about it. Can't remember who on here bought it from him originally.

Send MNC a pm he used to own it. 

Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, front and rear lockers, 35" simex.
Toyota FJ45 build in progress.
Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Hmm dead plates - I am finding out the hard way what this might mean for me.
Pricey - but ultimately worth I hope. Just hope the inspector(s) dont look at it as a 21st century vehicle instead of a 1980 BJ40...
So - whatever happened to Delta 4wd? I have a sticker of theirs lying around from when I bought a snorkel for my old Zuk back in 2004.

Cheers, I'm not sure on how I'm getting it home yet but last time I bought it I drove down to Wellywood with a trailer, left car and trailer there and then jumped on the ferry and brought it back. Hopefully I can do the same again this time.

I see my old Surf is on Trademe too, no way I want that back tho
I dont know what your ex is like but mine is hot and I was said to see her go. If I han't got the other half pregnant at the time I would have never sold her in the first place
