I picked up a beaut 4x4 a couple months back and it's been a huge load of fun:
The Terrano's a '93 2.7L Diesel Turbo with 148kms on the clock. Spent a bit of time tidying it up; so far I've:
1) Replaced the Thermostat, Fuel Filter, Air & Oil Filters, plus new Oil.
2) Lightly sanded back around 1/3rd of the chassis rails, cleaned with zinc phosphate followed by POR15.
3) Cleaned leaves out of the a/c fan.
4) Kitted it with a Snatch Strap, 2 Shovels, Shackles, Compressor and random bits of wood. Tried a little bit of 4wd'ing and haven't had to use anything yet.
And I plan to:
1) Replace the severely rusted rear bumper (not much luck tracking down a chrome one).
2) Finish painting underneath and sort a bits of rust in places.
3) Tint it.
4) Put in a decent stereo (for now the sweet hum of a diesel is more then enough).
5) Replace a broken air vent in the centre console & broken spot light switch.
6) Drown underneath in fish oil.
Hope to meet some of you guys soon.
Here's a photo of the leaves that came out of a/c fan:
And the freshly painted chassis:
Genuine Nissan goodies to hopefully take care of it for a while:
