    VERY rare. You never see 173 powered HJ's EVER. This also gives you a minimum date for Acacia Ridge stamping all driveline codes. Pretty cool combo too: Chamois with beige trim. It is also very late in early HJ build to see 60V beige on a bench, it may answer a question or two I have on 60V to 60W trim change for Acacia Ridge.

    Got to love how empty the engine bay is with the 6 cylinder motor! Climb right in there to work on the engine.

    Yeah so much room, if my pop didn't want it, i would of put it up on here in the for sale section
    but he needs a realiable car, his 84 mazda hasn't beeing going real good at the moment and has been costing him a lot of money, this ute is the perfect thing for him because he works out on a farm and is always taking rubbish and stuff to the dump with a trailer now he wont need the trailer as much, and there so easy to work on if anything gos wrong with it. and easy to get parts

    i always feel more confident when we go somewhere in the Van, if it breaks down, Rodney can always fix it, if he can't find a part he makes it...out of a rock, or a bit of wire, amazing what you learn when you have been brought up on a farm....

    Even more confident when we do a ball joint 1 block away from ozwreck....or the wiring under the bonnet has a meltdown, again outside ozwreck, with Agro on the way as well....

    Looks good for the money. Good solid ute with a near bulletproof engine/driveline. Enjoy that one!
