It’s bye for now!

It’s been a while since I participated within the forum, for various reasons generally around changes in life, my poor old 80 becoming an ornamental fixture in my driveway due to a change in job, moving house and the farcical LEZ in Aberdeen, but today bring the end to my ownership of the old girl.
The new owner has his own vision and plans to return her to a standard look, a big overhaul and return to factory blue.

For me, its been the best forum I’ve joined, lots of help, no judgement and some decent humor, thanks for it all!

I may be back, but if so it will be to join the 40 brigade!

All the best!

John

I remember viewing that years ago somewhere in the North west, Liverpool way I think. Really good truck, should have squirrelled it away.

That’s right Andy, it was on your recommendation the previous owner bought it! It’s been a good workhorse while he had it, and a good fun adventure truck for us.

Cheers

Yes Shayne, it certainly was! Hard working truck here, I kept the hoop and welded it to the winch bumper while that was on, before going back to the std bumper

Haha! For the want of tax and test she would have driven up to her new home no problem!

It will be living just to the left of the most northerly point of the uk mainland now

Cheers!

This is my 2 fingers to the farcical LEZ in Aberdeen, and the 80’s successor, loaded up with a turbo and some additional hp’s!
