The RAT .

Hi Guys.
I've had my LJ80 for about twenty years now . Stripped , cleaned & repainted it the winter before last with the intention of putting it back on the road but only just got it MOT'd last month .
The rear bumper/light panel is a piece of 'C' section girder fitted in backwards as is the front bumper , thought fitted the other way around .
I squeezed in a nissan 120y engine & box many years ago & fitted 413 front disc brakes . Also stripped the engine when rebuilding her & replaced the piston rings and had the cylinder head valve guides replaced .
The wings and front panel I rebuilt myself the first time I rebuilt her back in the late 90's and their still solid and look good (IMHO) . Did consider replacing them at this rebuild but thought better of it as I was planning to get back into off roading.
Have kept her inside for all these years so she's still solid but I now need to make some space . Any idea how much I should be asking for her ?
