new from New Zealand

Post by kiwizook » Fri Dec 28, 2012 11:43 pm

Hi, i'm new to this forum, and actually live in New zealand.
i have recently bought a lwb sj410 pickup truck.
i actually bought it because it was sitting on the farm i work at, and I thought it would be fun to restore a car, to only start finding out how great these cars are!
So really, I don't regret buying it, and I really enjoy it, and it's a great way for me to learn mechaniking, as they are so easy to deal with. Hope to have fun here ;)
