Well, after much deliberation and mind changing, we have bought another car and so are listing my beloved cruiser for sale. North side of Brissy.
I will tidy it up so its presentable in the coming couple of weeks and list it on line, but before I do, I thought I might give you guys first crack.
I will put up some photos when I have cleaned it up properly in the next couple of weeks. If anyone is genuine I will send photos as is.

History:
This is not a speed wagon. it doesn't like hills, but a turbo can easily be fitted for a few grand, which will make it a whole new car to drive. I was going to do this but the wife really wanted an auto, hence the change of cars.
If you keep the maintenance up like I have, it will be still very reliable for many more years. oil changed religiously every 10,000km. (it has been the wife's car around town - hence the extended oil changes). All maintenance has been done as per Toyota maintenance schedule exactly, although not by a stealership.
If no-one takes it in the next few weeks, I will taking off filter and walbro pump, so it is back to standard. I will use these on my next car.
Price - circa $20,000. If you are interested I would like to hear your offer - dont be frightened to make one
I have committed to buy another vehicle now, so this one's gotta go.

History:
- I Bought it off the Dubbo police in 2004 via a dealer at 80,000km
- initial teething problems with running bio, chiefly air related and seal incompatibility
- Viton front seal in pump, walbro pusher infront of solenoid valve, bio compatible hoses throughout, CAV style filter and glass bowl
- Pump rebuilt when front seal failed, had head off for port cleaning at 275,000km. cross hatching still evident on bore, indicating little to no wear
- checked compressions recently just for fun, all 6 cylinders were measuring at or better than factory specs. no blow-by.
- 5th gear replaced about 25,000 km ago, clutch replaced (exceedy) too.
- entire aircon system replaced, condenser, evaporator and compressor. Ice cold and lots of air.
- replaced windscreen
- power steering pump overhauled
- only ever been on beach once, that was 2 weekends ago. never in entire life has it seen the beach until then. it went really well surprisingly with no turbo.
