Bought for $800 - I just had to have it!
A 1994 low roof model with water cooled turbo, LSD, 'super-quick' glow plug system and 74,000 miles on the clock.
It came with the bonus of some decent mud's fitted (although these will be swapped with the 31's from the original Mud Monkey) and is in absolutely superb condition! No smoke at all, drives like a dream and is probably one of the tidiest, nicest L300's I've seen in a long time! (except for a scrape in the rear panel on the passenger side)
This will replace the Mud Monkey as my off-road weapon and will also double as my 'back-up' work van for when I need to carry more than my new 'teeny' work van is capable of. (which will be about 25% of my work). It will also adopt the name 'Mud Monkey' when it is on the road after I've finished stripping it and preparing it.
Here it is the day I got it home, so you can see it in its 'original' state before I get my grubby hands on it.....

And here it is within a day of getting it:

The red bull bars (big YUK!!) will be getting a dose of black because I really don't like the clown look of the current colour! I'll be adding some 8" IPF spot lamps to replace the cheesy fake PIAA ones and it'll be getting the full strip-down and mini-lift as seen on the original Mud Monkey.
I've got a lot of new ideas for this one, already collected quite a few parts for it (low roof Terzo for starters) and things should start to take shape over the next week to get it ready for some serious off-roading.
More updates to come as the mods start happening.
