last time I was talking too him about it, he was grumpy. A few years ago he was buying and wrecking heaps and selling parts, but alas there was little interest in 40 parts. Now the parts are gold and he can't buy them cheap enough. I'm sure Baylis is a scottish name.


Will one of these do Sig............

look up, buy one of them from the states while the money is good. they are made in aussie, so if you can find out where you may get it cheaper from there.

you got a winch that holds twice as much as normal, why not get a fuel tank that holds twice as much gas :roll: :roll: :roll:

Sig, PM me if you are keen otherwise I might try and sort a deal out with Wopass - think mine would fit in your truck Ben.

I`ll check the condition too - came in the truck I bought on the weekend.

thats a team effort !

oh come on now

If we really try hard enough, I'm sure we could add a few more people into the mix.

Once I get my hands on it, I can send it to Napier, then on to Carterton, then through to Brooklyn and finally on to Stokes Valley and Sig.

Once all of that is done he should get it in time to give to his mate for a xmas pressie. :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
