Mrs Rebel likes 4x4's, I'd never bothered with them before we met. There didn't seem much point really, especially as in the U.K. There's not really enough room on the roads for what our American cousins call a 4x4. Don't get me wrong, I'd love something like Bigfoot or Grave digger, better still, anything that they build on the TV show Diesel Brothers. Fake or not, the trucks they build are real and look amazing. If your going to have a 4x4 it needs to be as OTT as possible!
anyhoo, once again, the bay of fleas showed me this
I liked the way it looked and so did Mrs Rebel, so a bid was placed and it was mine. This was actually my second Toyota Hilux Surf, the first one was sold to a dealer mate when he made an offer that couldn't be refused and I'd regretted selling it as soon as it was gone. So I bought another one. That was 3 or 4 years ago now.
It's been sitting on my drive since November of last year though, mainly due to a small list of things that need replacing or repairing. Namely,
Cracked exhaust manifold
Blown turbo
Corroded fuel pipes
Two brake pipes need replacing
The D bushes need replacing
and the radio needs changing due to it overheating and turning itself off after about 5 minutes ( I know, not that important, but with it overheating, it needs taking care of ).
Plenty of entertainment to be had yet then and some history to catch up on.
