    Default Golberg's 1GGTE RN85 Hilux

    Well for those who know me personally, they may already know that a Hilux has been in the offing for a while now.

    Anyhow on the 23rd of this month I went up to the Salavage auctions and picked up an RN85 single cab Hilux with a tub style tray.
    Its been in a front ender but its not damaged enough that its actually not been written off (isn't on the WOVR). At some earlier point also, the tailgate has taken a bit of a knock and its also rusted out along the bottom.

    Its got 340,000k's on the clock, a good 22R motor, and is overall in reasonable condition considering its a 20yo work ute. There isn't any bad rust apart from what is in the tailgate, and apart from that there is just the usual surface rust in places subject to wear.

    I bought the ute for a couple of reasons, firstly I need something to throw my stuff into, for carying wheels, tyres, engines, diffs and all the other crap I tend to cart around. Secondly I'm after my own personal tow car (currently I borrow my dad's HDJ78 Landcruiser to tow).

    Anyway I couldn't be content with just a plain old carbie 22R now could I. I'll be converting it to EFI, but I haven't 100% decided on the motor of choice (I've got a couple of options in half cuts lined up, but I wont say until I've made my final decision).

    So here it is:







    As for other plans, I found a set of 114.3 x 5 15 x 8 -0 (or there abouts) Simmonds in pieces at work, they need some restoring, but they'd come up good. Seeing as I'll be towing though, I'll probably slap some sunraisers on there for most of the time.

    I'm going to give the interior a general clean up too, fix all the little broken things and put a pair of 4runnner SR5 seats in too. Apart from that I probably wont change much else. And obviously I'll have the front end fixed too.

    10 points for whoever can work out what's in the half cut:

    Son, I am disappoint.

    It'll still be plenty of power but just not as much as a farkinwhoosh!
