despite only being a shopping trolley/school bus 4WD they didn't really
present and major problems, the earlier body models were bad for rust
and the 4cyl models used that ****y Astron engine
these later models are not bad at all
very versatile seating, probably the best in that regard, so many
options even up to making them into a full double bed(if the 3dr row are
still fitted)
just don't be expecting good fuel economy, these weigh around 2.1T and
this is an old tech fuel injected engine
good news though is many parts are interchangeable with the Triton and
Magna of that year and there should be plenty of parts available
though I doubt you'd need to do much to it
