Nissan Safari LWB ($20K plus spent)

[marmel]

I have finally relented to the handbrake nagging and am looking for interest in my nearly finished Safari project. There has been a huge amount of money spent thus far, well in excess of $20K.

I will try and list everything below that I can recall as well as what needs doing to finish.

- Motor fully rebuilt about 10,000 km's ago, receipts available for $7,500 of parts alone
- Turbo kit fitted with full 3" exhaust from the rear of the turbo back ($5K)
- NEW roof skin fitted, interior was completely stripped out and any rust in the floor professionally sorted at that time (about $3K)
- WHilst stripped out the complete floor area (inc cargo) was dyna matted, new underlay and new carpet fitted. (No carpet in cargo area)
- Full dyna mat fitted to two front doors, dyna mat supplied to finish two rear doors and cargo dors
- NEW 15X8 steels with NEW Maxxis 33X12 rubber
- NEW 3" lifted springs and shocks, professionally fitted with castor bushes ($1K)
- NEW winch bar recently fitted, needs painting ($1300)
- NEW RUNVA 11,000 lb winch
- NEW Pioneer headunit (bluetooth/phone etc) with Sony 6" components in front and 6X9 ready to be fitted in rear plus Sony four channel amp, all NEW
- NEW Redarc battery equaliser fitted in glovebox, NEW third battery (sealed) plus battery box ready to be fitted in rear $1K)
- NEW Waeco fridge ready to be fitted in place of centre console plus alloy mounting plate (proper fridge, holds a dozen beers) ($650)
- NEW snorkel fitted
- Custom dash as pictured made from genuine carbon fibre, all cut to size and has been test fitted
- NEW switches/UHF/7" LCD/Auberin Boost and EGT gauges all mounted in carbon dash plate. Together all of this cost $1k
- NEW diff breather kit ready to be fitted
- NEW winch hook device (direct from USA)
- NEW inside/outside weather strips for front doors
- 40" LED lightbar with spot/spread combination
- 6" LED worklight for roof
- NEW roof rack as pictured
- Reversing camera to mount on roofrack/works with LCD in dash
- A/C pump to be used as air pump (not fitted)
- Factory diff lock in rear

As you can see there has been a LOT of cash spent on this project. Overall the vehicle is very tidy, the panels are not perfect but given the intended use you probably don't want a pristine example to start with.

I am slowly working my way through the jobs to do list but if someone wants to make me a realistic offer I would sell.

The to do list:

- Wire in LED lights/switches/reversing camera/winch
- Finish off cargo area (my thoughts are to build custom drawers from ply including a mount for the third battery and 6X9 speakers/amp
- Fit fridge (wiring in place)
- Have winch bar painted
- Make up new door cards (I have stripped a couple for templates and have riv nuts and some nice bolts to use for new cards, makes it easier to use bolts as dynamat thickness means standard plastic plugs are not much use)

REG is on hold.

Small lightbar on front of winch bar does not come with vehicle.

There are probably more parts I have forgotten about but everything I have will come with vehicle. I am based in Gore but am negotiable around putting truck on a transporter if required. Perfectly driveable. I am also happy to spend a few hours with the new owner going over everything I have done.

most of that $20k has disappeared in maintenance mate, engine rebuild, turbo, exhaust, springs, shocks, tyres, rust repairs etc etc, best way to try and recoup what you can is to strip it of as much bling as you can and sell it off separately, nice looking truck the front bar looks well built with good aesthetics that would come up pretty good with a sandblast and powder coating
