Cool Aussie First Gen Conversion

Kind of Funky but also cool, a little too 80's Van'ish interior for me though
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...HILUX-11084553

This was originally a 1980 Toyota tray back. Professionally modified to a barn door Panel Van Completely rebuilt & Customised in 2007 from the ground up...comprising of:-windows & side door to back of van,fitted with a new Holden 202 red motor...done 9000ks
All moving parts have either been replaced with new factory, or factory rebuilt units... custom modified suspension, giving an extra 60mm lift..
chassis has been rustproofed throughout, & fish emulation every year since.

Larger extra core radiator.. 202 motor fitted with, extractors & a Webber twin barrel carby for performance & economy...
long range fuel tanks (140lts).. heavy duty brakes.. Bridgestone D/Duellers (85%) on steel rims..

Onboard compressor.. new battery with electronic conditioner.. Roo Bar... side & back steps...high powered driving & spot lights.. air horns... Custom built Roofrack (2.5 mts long) with ladder...

Custom interior with wool insulation in roof & side panels..Floor Pan & Firewall insulated & all Rustproofed... New carpet & trim

Also comes with "Touchup paint - spare motor - gearbox- transfer case - drive shaft" etc; (if required)

This "1 of a kind" unique vehicle is beautiful to drive, very comfortable in all terrains,

there is a /86 reg cab, one very much like this running around town here , an air plane tech built it . Back (box and topper) is all alum. bent and welded . The guy spent 2 years just building the back 1/2 .
not my cup of tea .. but different strokes!

Kinda puzzled over the 202, the seller's page had it listed as a 2-liter I4, and that seemed like an odd swap.
Did a little snooping, and found that it's actually an I6, and comes in 2 flavors: 2.84 and 3.3 liters. I'm not sure which the builder went for, but either would be a sensible upgrade in lieu of the 22R. A little extra power, but still really economical. Neat build.

I agree with Dropzone's assessment of the interior, though.
