Looks good Fred - but your brave , it looks like you drove it home without fitting spacers in the rear wheels first.

May it give you endless km's of trouble free exploring !

Mate you look twenty years younger already ;-)

All that remains is to let the spending begin! A good choice and a nice chariot that will do you well in all your future travels.

Welcome to the club.

Looks like someone will get a nice well setup Prado. I guess it won't take you long to get the new one up to the same standard, Enjoy your new purchase and a huge congratulations. Cheers,Bob

Hi All,
thanks for all the replies. Mate over the road has been over checking things out. He says I made the right choice... NOT buying the 200 series.... lol..!

I have driven it (the 79 that is) around the block a couple of times today, so it now has a massive total of forty six kilometers on the clock already... lol..!

Tomorrow the work begins.

Onya Fred. I hope you get the same good service the old faithfull prado gave you, but Im sure you will be saving on fuel now especially on those long runs and the aircons probably a lot colder then the 120's ever were.........

Nice one Fred
I very nearly purchased the 76 series Wagon. I love the look of those things.
In the end I chose the GX 200 LC. Pick it up tomorrow.
Cheers
